| | 3 | The suggestion was made that we need the Astro modules for perl. However, it looks like CPAN has [http://search.cpan.org/search?m=all&q=astro&s=1&n=100 over 200 Astro modules]. Which ones are the most important ones for the purposes of CAL? |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | Ubuntu [http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libastro&searchon=names&subword=1&version=breezy&release=all has two of these modules packaged for breezy]. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | It should be [http://deb.riseup.net/development/cpan-debian-packages/ fairly simple] to package other packages for debian/ubuntu, however. We just need to know which ones? |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | Building the canonical [http://search.cpan.org/~cphil/Astro/ Astro package] looks something like this (note: i'm choosing an arbitrary module which is part of the Astro package, since it doesn't build an eponymous module): |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | {{{ |
| | 12 | mkdir -p src/perl |
| | 13 | cd src/perl |
| | 14 | dh-make-perl --build --cpan Astro::Misc |
| | 15 | sudo dpkg --install libastro-perl_0.64-1_all.deb |
| | 16 | }}} |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | it could be much more complicated for some fancier modules, though. |
