So called "red-hat perl" is popular again on Perl porters. I guess if
you have any proposals about Perl packaging, now it's the best time to
say so.
The main problem is that 'yum install perl' doesn't install whole Perl
tarball.
It should not. It should install a minmal run-time.
The question here is who gets to define what "perl" means. People on p5p
believe quite strongly (and rightly, in my opinion) that they say what
constitutes Perl - and therefore what should be in a package called "perl".
This isn't about them saying that you shouldn't distribute a cut-down
version of Perl. It's about what that cut-down version is called.
Well, we call the stripped down version "perl" and also have a
"perl-devel" packages. It's the kind of "run-time"/"devel" package split
we apply to probably all packages.
