Subject:	Wrong packagename

From:	Bob Vincent <robert.vincent [...] homes.com>

The package name for Term::ReadKey should be "Term-ReadKey", not "TermReadKey". This also affects the Debian package name as generated by the "dh-make-perl" program. What I did: wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JS/JSTOWE/TermReadKey-2.32.tar.gz ; tar -zxf TermReadKey-2.32.tar.gz ; dh-make-perl TermReadKey-2.32 ; cd TermReadKey-2.32 ; debuild binary ; cd .. ; ls What I saw: libtermreadkey-perl_2.32-1_amd64.deb TermReadKey-2.32 TermReadKey-2.32.tar.gz What I expected to see: libterm-readkey-perl_2.32-1_amd64.deb Term-ReadKey-2.32 Term-ReadKey-2.32.tar.gz Robert August Vincent II *(Bob-Vee)* Linux Systems Administrator, Portal (80X) Office: (757) 351-8182 Cell: (757) 672-1935

To: robert.vincent@homes.com Additional output: Using META.json Found: TermReadKey 2.32 (libtermreadkey-perl arch=any) So as expected, dh-make-perl uses META.json (that's its preferred source of information), and indeed: % grep TermReadKey META.json "name" : "TermReadKey", So this very much looks like upstream getting the name wrong. I don't think dh-make-perl can do a lot here ... This looks better: % grep Term::ReadKey * Makefile.PL: NAME => 'Term::ReadKey', [..] Cheers, gregor -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375972 Title: Produces wrong packagename in some cases.

Hi, The DISTNAME has been TermReadKey for more than twenty years, I don't think there is any value in changing it at this point. The META.(yml|json) is generated from the Makefile.PL BTW, so if there is a bug it is in the part of ExtUtils::MakeMaker that generates the META files in not including the correct module name. Thanks anyway.
