Hi,
Why p5-perl-headers is not available? xine-lib whines for it very loud.
The package _was_ in repository. Here's my prove:

For me there's decidedly too much disorder in the NetBSD packages world.
First mplayer playing with us seesaw, then the Minotaur's maze
pretending to be ftp system tree, disappearing files, weird
dependencies, etc. It seems to me there's too much work (platforms to
serve) and too few hands to do that. Isn't a time for a change the goals
or prioritize them?
Everything works like a dream until I come out from the bare system
trenches. The system itself is the main and the only cause I keep stick
to the NetBSD. The rest is irksome to say the least.
BTW. Is there any chance to put the binaries of the "cursed by law" You
Know What (mplayer) to separate WWW/FTP external to US jurisdiction?
Regards,
pp
