Re: Bug#736820



Hi Guys,

I've been taking a look at the following bug report [1], which triggered
a package removal from testing today.

Looking at documentation on metacpan and the source code, I can see that
all the included examples do require the two packages that aren't
packaged (not sure whether it warranted a grave severity or not).

Packaging of these isn't going to be a small task due to the number of
required dependencies.

1st Batch (required by 2nd batch):
    + Carp - https://metacpan.org/release/Carp

2nd Batch (required by 3rd batch):
    + IO - https://metacpan.org/release/IO
    + Time-HiRes - https://metacpan.org/release/Time-HiRes
    + Net-IPv6Addr - https://metacpan.org/release/Net-IPv6Addr

3rd Batch (required by 4th batch):
    + Net-Frame-Dump - https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Frame-Dump
    + Net-Frame-Layer-ICMPv6 -
https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Frame-Layer-ICMPv6
    + Net-Frame-Layer-IPv6 -
https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Frame-Layer-IPv6
    + Net-Frame-Simple - https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Frame-Simple
    + Net-Libdnet6 - https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Libdnet6

4th Batch:
    + Net-Frame-Device - https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Frame-Device

Before I go ahead and begin packaging all 10 of these I wanted to get
the groups' opinion on this and whether it would be worthwhile
proceeding with this for a package that has a relatively low but rising
popcon [2], but obviously has user interest.

Cheers,

Daniel Lintott
