Parsers generated from grammars: allowed, or have to be rebuilt?

Tue Jul 17 12:23:35 BST 2018

Dear Perl Maintainers,

in Debian archive I find packages that ship upstream-generated parsers [1] without rebuilding them from source. AFAIK, Debian policy is to rebuild generated stuff (documentation, minified JavaScript) from the source. The question is: are the generated parsers exempt from this requirement?

Many thanks,
Andrius

[1] for example libgraph-readwrite-perl and libxml-xql-perl which are apparently generated by Parse::Yapp.
