Description Dick Repasky 2003-07-22 13:42:04 UTC

I just emerged app-sci/bioperl-1.2.  Two modules that I needed were not installed
where bioperl expects them SeqFeatureI.pm and FeatureHolderI.pm are expected in
Bio/Seq (because they are Bio::Seq modules).  They were installed in the parent
directory (Bio).  I haven't checked all modules in the Bio directory.  These two
modules were modules that I needed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge bioperl
2. look for SeqFeatureI.pm and FeatureHolderI.pm in
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio
Actual Results:  
The modules were in the wrong directory. My script failed with the message from
perl that the modules could not be found in @INC.

Expected Results:  
The modules should be  in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio/Seq. My script should
run without error. Note that I've side-stepped the problem by creating symbolic 
links.

That was a change that the bioperl people made.  It is the same in 1.2.2 . I know it doesn't make any sense but I don't think that we should change how bioperl has their tree set up.  Who knows what that could end up messing up?
