Hi,

would it be possible to submit perl-Perl-Critic into Leap 42.2?

For Leap 42.1 it exists in the repo devel:languages:perl [1]

I tried to install it from there and only a few requirements are missing from the official distribution: # rpm -Uhv perl-Perl-Critic-1.126-40.2.noarch.rpm perl(PPIx::Regexp) >= 0.027 is needed by perl-Perl-Critic-1.126-40.2.noarch

perl(PPIx::Utilities::Node) >= 1.001 is needed by perl-Perl-Critic-1.126-40.2.noarch

perl(PPIx::Utilities::Statement) >= 1.001 is needed by perl-Perl-Critic-1.126-40.2.noarch

perl(Pod::Spell) >= 1 is needed by perl-Perl-Critic-1.126-40.2.noarch

perl(Readonly) >= 2 is needed by perl-Perl-Critic-1.126-40.2.noarch

These requirements are provided by perl-PPIx-Regexp-0.050-52.1.noarch.rpm perl-Pod-Spell-1.20-41.1.noarch.rpm perl-PPIx-Utilities-1.001000-22.1.noarch.rpm perl-Readonly-2.04-65.1.noarch.rpm which are also available in devel:languages:perl. They can be installed without creating additional dependencies to packages not yet in the official distribution.

perl-Perl-Critic is available in Tumbleweed, it and the missing packages are noarch and can therefore probably "just" be included.

I also checked the update repos 12.1 to 13.2 - these openSUSE versions included perl-Perl-Critic - and there were never updates for it, so probably it would also not create future maintenance effort once included.

Thanks and regards, Dieter
