Hi,
When Env:Assert is packaged, will it become available to all supported Debians? When?
Is there a repository for the packaging code?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mikko Koivunalho

Just tell me if there is anything missing.I haven't noticed anything yesterday in my 2-minute-check but thanks for the offer![0] Although I just realize that this might be better named envassert than libenv-assert-perl, as it's more about the binary than the library, right?Yes, that’s right. In this case the library is mostly a bi-product, not really meant to be used by itself.Ok, thanks for the confirmation.Would it be better if Env::Assert was two separate (CPAN) packages, one for lib and one for executable?I think that would be overkill. What I often see is that distributions like this are named App-foo on the CPAN, so maybe App-envassert would be an option. But from a Debian point of view that's irrelevant …
I was thinking the Debian package could be called simply "env-assert".
Cheers, gregor
