Bug #46901 for CPANPLUS-Dist-Deb:

Fri Jun 12 19:02:31 2009 CRAKRJACK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Hi, C::D::D always assumes that I want to generate packages for the 'main' section of debian. In fact, constants dictate that behaviour :-). I would also like to be able to create package trees for other sections, eg; 'contrib', 'non-free', 'cpan-custom', or anything else I feel like making up. Thanks, Tyler

I plan to eradicate Constants.pm and make stuff like this more configurable. Thanks for the ticket.

No worries... One other unrelated thing -- I have to do this to hack around Crypt::IDEA, i'm wondering if a simple hook system would be useful to massage packages before we let debian generate it's .diff? my $package = $cpan->module_tree($package_name); # Crypt::IDEA bug - debhelper doesnt like the "._test.pl" file # so we have to manually fetch and extract the package and remove # that file before we allow debianization to take over # { $package->fetch; my $dir = $package->extract; print " Extracted to $dir\n"; unlink("$dir/._test.pl") and warn "Removed naughty ._test.pl file"; } $package->install( format => 'CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb', target => 'create', prereq_target => 'create', verbose => 1, skiptest => 1, distdir => $repo_root, ) or die "Failed to build $package_name!"; Cheers, Tyler Hans Dieter Pearcey via RT <bug-CPANPLUS-Dist-Deb@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
