Description Malte S. Stretz 2006-05-30 13:18:18 UTC

I'm not sure if this was on purpose but it seems like the 'revirter' command is gone in perl-cleaner 1.04.  The man page still talks about it and neither the Changelog, bugzilla nor mcumming's blog has to say anything about this option leaving, so here's the bug for it :)

Hmmm... that's weird.  I downgraded to 1.03 and the option is still missing.  Err...  but I used it a few minutes ago.  WTF?

malte,

sorry about that :) it had to be 'removed' because it didn't pay attention to things like those items we pdepend in dev-lang/perl (so it would remove them, leaving you with a broken perl install...again...). it'll be back soon as i write smarter logic than "--unmerge perl-core/*" :)

scary...someone reads my blog...i should write stuff there....
