Description Michal Jaegermann 2000-12-31 23:52:23 UTC
As in the subject.  They are automatically generated and no mildly sane
person would want them in that form anyway even if s/he wants some
for some notion of "backcompatibility".  I am heavily using Perl
for years on machines where _none_ of these files exist, either
automatically created or hand edited, and I still have to encounter
a problem because of that.  Only holdovers from Perl 4 times, which
should be rewritten a long time ago in any case, may have references to
these headers.

Splitting that into a separate package would allow it to install
this separately by those who truly want that and is a simple edit
job on a spec file without any other changes to the current packaging
process.

  Michal
