#307: De-emphasize Geo::Coordinates::OSGB ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: dom | Owner: Nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: openguides | Version: svn Severity: normal | Keywords: ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- This perl module has been hard to get into Debian (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664558). I am planning to upload it to non-free so that we can get on with things, but this means that openguides either has to be moved to contrib, or made to work without Geo::Coordinates::OSGB in some configurations (so that the dependency becomes a Suggests). I would prefer the latter.
Hopefully this is just a documentation/Build.PL issue, but I haven't checked yet.

Comment(by bob):
it should just be a Build.Pl thing and skipping tests.
the reason why it a became a dependency was because all current guides probably use OSGB. so for a CPAN install it made sense to just pull all 3 in since they were small and didnt have dependencies
so openguides should work without it. so in a debian world it only needs to be a suggest.
in fact i just checked the code and it only requires them based on which geo handler you set.

The licensing issues have been resolved now, so no need to carry on down this route. Resolving invalid.
