Just sayin', this is officially what upstream describe it as: https://metacpan.org/pod/Filesys::DiskSpace#NAME Same goes for Test-SharedFork https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::SharedFork#NAME While of course we can deviate from that, I generally try to stick with upstreams decription (partly for reasons of simplifying automation) If better descriptions can be provided without needing to put the word "perl" in them ( Which would be terribly redundant ), I'd welcome it, and possibly submit the change upstream as well.

But until then, a local fix is sufficient Bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=130011 Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/689452 Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.66, Repoman-2.3.16 Signed-off-by: Kent Fredric <kentnl@gentoo.org> dev-perl/Filesys-DiskSpace/Filesys-DiskSpace-0.50.0-r2.ebuild | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
