Hello Perl packagers, I've just moved Memoize, Net-Ping, and Pod-Html files form perl package to respective sub-packages. Not only it reduces the perl binary package size, it also reduced number of required run-time dependencies. This is a list of packages which are now not needed for installing the perl: # dnf autoremove Last metadata expiration check performed 2:23:22 ago on Fri Aug 7 14:05:42 2015. Dependencies resolved. ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Removing: perl-Encode x86_64 3:2.76-2.fc24 @System 9.7 M perl-Getopt-Long noarch 2.47-1.fc23 @System 135 k perl-HTTP-Tiny noarch 0.056-3.fc23 @System 131 k perl-MIME-Base64 x86_64 3.15-348.fc23 @System 40 k perl-Pod-Escapes noarch 1:1.07-348.fc23 @System 25 k perl-Pod-Perldoc noarch 3.25-347.fc23 @System 161 k perl-Pod-Simple noarch 1:3.30-3.fc23 @System 526 k perl-Pod-Usage noarch 4:1.67-3.fc23 @System 47 k perl-Storable x86_64 1:2.53-346.fc23 @System 184 k perl-Term-ANSIColor noarch 4.03-346.fc23 @System 88 k perl-Term-Cap noarch 1.16-1.fc23 @System 26 k perl-Text-ParseWords noarch 3.30-346.fc23 @System 13 k perl-Time-HiRes x86_64 1.9726-346.fc23 @System 92 k perl-Time-Local noarch 1.2300-346.fc23 @System 42 k perl-podlators noarch 2.5.3-347.fc24 @System 282 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 15 Packages Installed size: 11 M As any good thing, also this one has bad side: Packages that do not specify all (build-) dependencies could become broken. So please watch Koschei <https://apps.fedoraproject.org/koschei/groups/perl-sig?order_by=state%2Cname> (there are fedmsg events too) and fix your broken packages. I'm leaving tomorrow for my two-weeks vacation, therefore I'll now be here to run regular scratch bootstrap, to identify failures, to report them and even to fix them as I usually do. This change lands with perl-5.22.0-350.fc24 into Fedora 24. -- Petr
