Description MAL 2005-11-28 09:29:05 UTC

Could someone add the Task::Catalyst perl module to portage?

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Why? app-portage/g-cpan does not work? Something depends on it?

What Jakub is getting at is there are guidelines in the gentoo policy
documentation regarding requests for perl module ebuilds.

Comment 3 MAL 2005-11-28 11:01:01 UTC

Apologies.  I had already installed it via cpan but I was under the impression
that this wasn't the way to do things, assuming cpan installed modules wouldn't
get updated automatically via portage.

Comment 4 MAL 2005-11-28 11:03:14 UTC

Just a small question... why are there still numerous perl modules in portage if
this tool exists?  Are they pending deletion, or are they considered more
fundamental?

Please, review this link and explain why this ebuild is needed in portage:

It also answers your question.

Thanks for the link.  It doesn't need to be in portage, which is why I didn't
reopen the bug.

Cheers
