Would it be possible/practical to make the maintenance of Bundle::KohaSupport a task for a Koha Community officer/volunteer? It seems that having only one Perl module to install would greatly simply the instructions, and might make it easier to create and maintain debian packages for Koha in the future.
And since I'm speaking up, I'll volunteer to do the work, if no one else is able/willing. Just give me enough time to learn how.
I fact I think that a central Bundle::KohaSupport in CPAN is not a good idea. Why ? Because the mainstream now is to use the packages of every distro and only for modules without a package to use CPAN. With CPAN you will receive the last version of a module and sometimes with this operation you break something. So in fact the Bundle::KohaSupport needs to be different for every distro and every version of a distro. I think is more useful if you work on check the installation instruction on this problem. For example the modules listened in INSTALL.debian / INSTALL.debian-lenny / INSTALL.ubuntu are correct ? In the same time you can check the lists in install_misc/ubuntu.packages, debian.packages, debian-lenny.packages If you don't use a debian based distro, you can check INSTALL.opensuse and INSTALL.fedora7 Others installation instruction here: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php#installation Bye Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)
