Dear list, I come to you to discuss an issue I discovered with the port p5-PodToHML. This CPAN module is pretty old and obviously not maintained anymore. Here is the issue : p5-PodToHTML requires p5-Pod-Parser. p5-Pod-Parser installs a /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Pod/Find.pm file. The problem is that p5-PodToHTML also installs such a file (not registered in the pkg-plist though). On the one hand for p5-PodToHTML, we have : @EXPORT = qw(find_pods contains_pod); and on the other hand for p5-Pod-Parser : @EXPORT_OK = qw(&pod_find &simplify_name &pod_where &contains_pod); Overwriting Pod::Find with an older version breaks Pod::Parser under some circumstances (I figured this out while trying the examples in chromatic's latest book). So, this is my question : what is the common way to handle this situation? Should we set a CONFLICT? Mark p5-PodToHTML as BROKEN? I'm ready to fill a PR for this port to request an update but I have no idea how to handle it. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please keep me in CC as I do not subscribe to this list. Best regards, Geraud
