Want to send a PR to camlp5/camlp5 for your patch? #88

Open chetmurthy opened 3 years ago

I can't test it myself, but I would be happy to merge it and maybe it'd be less work for you than maintaining the patch ?

I can't test it any longer either. camlp5 now depens on conf-perl-string-shellquote that doesn't seem to be available in the cygwin repo. Therefore the latest release of camlp5 got treated like all other packages with missing depexts: The commit was just merged without any further actions (triggering camlp5/camlp5/issues/77).

The reason that I made these perl modules required dependencies, is that I want to start restructuring Camlp5's build-process, and to do so, will require using the perl script that they're used in. But right now, they only get used in the testsuite.

Is there a process for requesting that cygwin add CPAN modules to its repository? I'm not a windows user, but it shouldn't be difficult -- these are very vanilla Perl modules, after all.
