However, I do not see a real problem about depending on missing modules -- we just need them packaged. Here's my plan: I'm going to check what packages are exactly need to build/run asciio, and file RFPs. That's because I don't really want to maintain Perl modules just because they happen to be dependencies to a package I want to maintain. In case those RFPs aren't picked up by the Debian Perl Team, I'm available to make them ITPs, and maintain them "pro tempore". From a quick analysis, I see that it's "only" missing 3 dependencies: - Eval::Context - Data::TreeDumper::Renderer::GTK - Directory::Scratch::Structured Sure, these might need other modules to work, and that's why the "blocking" mechanism exists. We just need to climb up the dependency chain until it's satisfied. > Let me know what you want me to do to help - I think there are still a > bunch of dependencies.
