* Package name : libmodule-build-parse-yapp-perl Version : 0.1.2 Upstream Author : Andrius Merkys <mer...@cpan.org> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Module-Build-Parse-Yapp * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: Perl Description : build Parse::Yapp parsers from source Module::Build::Parse::Yapp is a subclass of Module::Build made to build Parse::Yapp parsers from the source. Thus, prebuilt parsers do not have to be included in the source distribution. Module::Build::Parse::Yapp looks for *.yp files under 'lib' and produces Perl modules in place of them under 'blib/lib'. Therefore, a grammar file 'lib/A/B/C.yp' will be converted to 'blib/lib/A/B/C.pm' with a package name of 'A::B::C'. Disclaimer: I am also the upstream of this package. I have created this package to combat the inclusion of prebuilt Parse::Yapp-generated parsers (in my own Perl modules, for starters). The problem is described in detail in the discussion about related lintian warning [1][2]. The package is a dependency of liboptimade-filter-perl, which currently is patched to build without it. Remark: This package is to be maintained with Debian Perl Group at [3].
