AIUI, the "PPM" binary format is usable on any platform - just do "make ppd" The only problem(s) are (1) PPM has dependencies (like XML::Parder) which Again, I don't know how much interest there would be in this, but it is Paul. |

Seems we have three ways here: 2) Use "native" formats like .rpm, .deb, SVR4 pkgadd format. 3) Use a Perl-specific format. I believe whatever is used should maintain the packlist on the It should also be available on every platform perl currently supports, My limited experience with .deb, .rpm, and SVR4 packages suggests A pure number 1 does not deliver the functionality. We need to update I think number 3 is the only sensible route, if it is a cross-platform Beneath this format we can use tar, cpio, or zip, or whatever is I have the most experience with SVR4 packages, and I like their One thing to keep in mind is that people might try to add a package The package format and tool must detect this, and package dependencies.

Sorry about the phrasage. I mean "like Alan's script does".
There seems to be no useful cross-platform format right now.
I guess I should not only rereadthat but also look at you script.

What about creating the new Config.pm? That needs support from the
Maybe we should forward the discussion on this to him and see
I'd prefer that, too. The one main gigantic evergrowing packlist bothers me.
