Changes for version 0.67

  • POD: drop "--" in front of the commands. refresh: ensure ->rules is there before attempting to fiddle quilt integration
  • Add support for version relations in META
  • Debian::Dependency now survives being given a string with leading spaces
  • make: implement recursive making of missing dependencies when --recursive is given. (Debian bug #342751)
  • FromCPAN: remove leading 'v' from versions
  • add Debian::DpkgLists - 'dpkg -S' on steroids
  • FromCPAN: use Debian::DpkgLists as a last resort. This allows finding dependencies that are present in locally-installed packages. (Debian bug #478781)
  • Dependency: the 'ver' member is an instance of Dpkg::Version Use its ability to compare and drop Debian::Version
  • Dependenc{y,ies}: reduce '--' to '-' in the NAME POD section
  • make: try harder to discover already existing package by looking up distribution modules in APT contents and dpkg file lists.
  • replace CPAN::Config->load with CPAN:Handle::Config->load the former seems obsolete and only warns: Dispatching deprecated method 'CPAN::Config::load' to CPAN::HandleConfig
  • added README
  • added xt/pod-spelling.t to help test POD spelling
