The new guidelines differ from the above mentioned proposal in the perl-macros dependency. The perl-macros will be provided by installing perl-generators _implicitly_. You will not have to declare this dependency explicitly. Once upgrading Perl to 5.24 finishes and I finish my spec editor, I will test some local scratch builds and then I publish the changes (injecting perl, perl-generators and perl-devel where appropriate) into dist-git. -- Petr
