Hello, Maybe you noticed I added some undeclared dependencies into your packages recently. That's because I finally finished subpackaging Perl modules from perl-interpreter. Now installing perl-interpreter consumes about 9 MB contrasting to 23 MB. Most of the changes are invisible to Perl packaging because we depend on Perl modules, no on RPM packages. A few exceptions are a new "perl-debugger" package with Perl debugger (executed with "perl -d") and a new "perl-doc" package with generic POD files (e.g. "perldoc perlgpl"). I will push Provides for these new non-module packages into older Fedoras later. This will ease porting Rawhide packages there. I also moved some modules to perl-libs because it turned out that some language features magically load modules that implement the features without any "use" or "require" keywords. I also moved transitive dependencies there to decrease the number of perl subpackages. Installing perl-libs unfortunatelly still pulls in few other packages, mainly because of dual-lived dependencies. I will polish it (e.g. perl-Errno) later. I tested the change for some time locally, so it should not break many things. I tried a scratch Perl rebuild with the split perl and it stopped on 1111 from 3192 packages. I already fixed some of them and I will contiune fixing them. Most failures are caused by "blib" use in tests and then follows some traditional core modules like FindBin or English that some people tend to omit. Thanks to this change perl.spec was somewhat simplified becuse it does not have to list every file twice (exclude and included) in %files sections. I also hope that Perl will be a smaller burden for the various Fedora minimization efforts <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/minimization/> now. I pushed the change into Fedora master branch now to make my work public for the case of unticipated events that today's world chalenges. I will build it on Monday not to break your distribution for the whole weekend if something went wrong with the new perl build. -- Petr
