Package: libmoox-options-perl
Version: 4.103-4
Severity: wishlist
I understand MooX::ConfigFromFile is only used if the consumer code opts-in for
the corresponding feature by enabling the with_config_from_file option.
I could not find any code with codesearch.debian.net that enables this option.
The only potential user of this option in the archive is
MooX::Cmd, which itself Recommends: libmoox-configfromfile-perl.
So AFAICT, doing the same in libmoox-options-perl would:
- not break anything in the archive
- allow lowering the size of system images that use libmoox-options-perl
without the ConfigFromFile support, e.g. Tails, if they
disable automatic installation of Recommends
- move the responsibility of depending on libmoox-configfromfile-perl
to consuming apps (none is in the Debian archive currently),
to be safe in case the user disabled Recommends
Thanks for considering!
