That's not needed to run or build Koha. Only the release people need that.
Also, IIRC it wasn't feasible to build it without upsetting half the rest of
the system.

The proper way for upstreaming it. See here:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2015/04/msg00009.html

This is the proper way to build a package, as it bases it on the older existing
version and hard work has generally been done for you.

That won't result in a package acceptable to Debian.

That's fine for testing, just not acceptable for distribution.

No, that's wrong. We can't expect everyone to have it available, and we can't
always build it for them. I'm still hopeful we can in this case, but unless
that becomes possible, then we have problems.

> Very strange that the latest Mojolicious would be unavailable via packages.

I am a little surprised by that too, to be honest. I would have at least
expected it to be in git, unless it's because everyone else is being bitten by
this tar bug too.

When I get the chance, I'm going to try to downgrade tar to at least allow
things to build. Of course, if someone wants to patch tar for me, that'd be
great :)
