[Koha-devel] Koha Perl Dependencies PPA

[Braedon Vickers]

Hello all,

After installing assorted versions of Koha on Ubuntu numerous times over
the last few weeks, one of the major speedbumps I always seemed to have
was retrieving the Perl dependencies not in the standard Ubuntu
repositories from CPAN. After it was suggested to me on #koha, I put
together a PPA to serve these as Debian packages instead.

Unfortunately, prior to this I had no experience with Debian packaging,
and didn't really have the time to learn properly, so the packages I
have build are generated by "dh-make-perl" (a very handy tool), with a
few minor changes to fix dependency generation errors.

As such, two requests. Firstly, to anyone who runs Koha on Ubuntu9.10,
some testing of the packages would be great of you could spare the time.
Secondly, to anyone with any experience with Debian packaging, if you
would like to provide advice, or even take over this project, it would
be greatly appreciated.

The PPA can be found here:
https://launchpad.net/~braedon-vickers/+archive/kohaperl
The packages are all the required CPAN Perl modules for git HEAD Koha as
of the 17th of February.
