I'm not sure encouraging users to randomly download stuff using curl is the best approach from a security point of view. Distribution packages should have a higher level of trust, especially when coming from the main repos.
You need only to do the one (first time two) steps. But for sure, that shouldn't be the right way for a standard user! In the moment at least Tumbleweed are used on some standard users!! And if there will be technical issues at all, the first question will, please provide me the output of "inxi -Fz" or extended switches.
Then you could either fix the package or file a drop request since Im not sure having a package with a single perl script whose functionality is provided by other packages is worth the effort.
That package includes a man page, changelog, license and is way easier to install in a scripted manner.
Yes, and anyway, SW delivered on a really state of the art distro with a rolling releas approach and allway providingt the newest software after it is stable enough to pass a the automatic tests, should use the newest software at all or remove it completely! (at least at Tumbleweed)! Regards Ulf
