Dear FTP masters, You may have noticed the flood of libcatalyst*-perl packages in NEW. I guess a rationale is in order. All of these are split off libcatalyst-modules-perl, which currently is a bundle of 32 different upstream projects. Having these in a bundle makes it hard to properly track new upstream releases or deprecations. Indeed, some of the upstream projects are already deprecated, but we can't just drop them from the bundle as this would cause surprise breakage for users. So the plan is to package all these 32 upstream projects as separate source packages with their own life. For Jessie libcatalyst-modules-perl will become a meta-package depending on the separate packages (recommending the deprecated ones). It may go away after the Jessie release. I have already uploaded 28 packages, the last 4 will be uploaded tomorrow. A similar situation will happen again with libcatalyst-modules-extra-perl, although it bundles only five upstream projects. Thanks for your tireless work, dam
