Could someone add the Task::Catalyst perl module to portage? Thanks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
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.
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.
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: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap2 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
