I'd certainly like to see a proposed patch so we could see how this feels. It'd be nice to be able to "just drop tarballs in your dist" and have them work. However.... From time to time, it is useful to be able to patch a dist from CPAN in blead. In general, I also appreciate the ability to diff the CPAN modules in two versions of blead, which moving to tarballs would hinder.Thread Previous | Thread Next
