Re: [Pkgutil-users] patch to support non-standard VERSION entries

[Peter B. <bon...@op...>]

I think it's starting to be a lot of different stuff being discussed
in the same thread now. Maybe the package map and the software stacks
deserve new threads started?

I'm about to start using unit tests to increase the quality of the
releases. This will likely require me to split off all but the
simplest command line parsing from pkgutil and put basically
everything in one or more perl modules.

This opens some possibilities regarding managing non-CSW stuff. It
would be nice to have the compare subs in a perl module, we could have
several complete, independent ones being selected by pkgutil.conf
options. So the current CSW one is 100% intact and non-CSW stuff gets
its own sub. I would like that kind of isolation instead of
complicating the current stuff. Someone else could do a third variant
which uses whatever method of doing the compare.

@Mark: are you comfortable with Subversion and Sourceforge? Do you
want to be added to the project so you can start a new branch? You
could try your stuff there, no need to send me patches.
