I personally vote to add for all new versions of p5-* modules next line to Makefile: DIST_SUBDIR= perl5 This transition is transparent enough for end-users. Massive one-stage change for all p5-ports will produce unnecessary distfiles refetching. I suppose we must make decision about this PR. This proposal can be official policy or should be rejected with justification for refusal. Technically every maintainer can add your own DIST_SUBDIR lines without any violations of "Porters handbook". One more argument to accept explicit p5-subdir is simple consideration to avoid collisions with other languages. Currently this is not the case but I think this approach must be standard for all "dynamic" languages like Perl, Python and Ruby (or, even C# ;) -- Sergey Skvortsov mailto: skv@protey.ru
