I've had a look and made a few uncontroversial tweaks to spelling and grammar. But I've also got a couple of slightly more controversial comments: Since we no longer have perl version numbers in @INC, I think the whole "Directory Ownership" section should be updated to reflect the current situation. With a few simple examples. Maybe something like: In general, perl's hierarchical naming convention for modules does not necessarily imply any hierarchical dependencies. For example, perl-YAML and perl-YAML-Tiny both install files to /usr/share/perl5/YAML; but perl-YAML-Tiny does not require perl-YAML (its whole raison d'être is to be a smaller alternative) so both packages need to own /usr/share/perl5/YAML directory. Even where there is some form of hierarchy, the split between arch-dependent and noarch packages can cause additional problems. Although perl-Moose-Autobox does require perl-Moose, perl-Moose-Autobox is a noarch package installing files to /usr/share/perl5/Moose whereas perl-Moose is architecture-dependent and installs its files to /usr/lib/perl5/Moose. Again, both packages need to own their top-level Moose directory. And I wonder if it's worth trying to clarify the role of perl-sig. Since we don't have explicit group permissions in pkgdb, adding perl-sig to initial-cc may be understood to mean that perl-sig provenpackagers are effectively co-maintainers and may update packages as and when necessary. -- Iain. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
