Hi,
I got an email from one of the maintainers of Net::DNS (Dick Franks)
about one of my recent changelog entries. I had (incorrectly) removed
perl(Net::IP) from the BuildRequires because I read in the upstream
changelog that it was no longer required. I had to revert that change
because it *was* still required by Net::DNS::Nameserver. Dick suggested
that I could split Net::DNS::Nameserver out into a subpackage.
Net::DNS::Nameserver is what you expect it is - a simple DNS server.
I don't know if it's worth it, or if it's wise this late in the release
cycle for F8. What do y'all think?
Here's the patch:
perl(Net::IP) is still a BuildRequire, but not a requirement for the
base package any longer. It makes sense to split out 'Server' bits, but
OTOH, it's just one .pm file and a small dep.
