--- Comment #4 from Chris Weyl cweyl@alumni.drew.edu 2010-03-28 14:59:42 EDT --- Basically -- it's the new process for updating dual-lifed dists. (e.g. Test-Simple ships both bundled with core Perl, and on the CPAN, so it has two lives).
The key things to keep in mind here: * Files should be installed to "perl" (aka core) not "vendor" * The dual-lifed dist should already be broken out into a subpackage of the "perl" package. * perl_default_filter should be used * packages must be upgradable by core when the core perl's package is upgraded and includes a newer version of the dual-lifed dist * The core "perl" package maintainers must have access to update the package, and perl-sig must be on CC.
This is still a very new change to the updating policy... Discussion is always welcome on the fedora perl mailing list (or here, but the mailing list seems easier for it :))
