Subject: [gentoo-perl] [Patch] up2date-ng and CPAN package list

1 Hello,
2
3 Recently I noticed that dev-perl/Net-SSLeay is behind one release, and
4 wondered why it wasn't showing up in the weekly "Perl ebuilds needing
5 updates" emails.

7 Sometimes the CPAN package list contains lines like:
8
9 [...]
10 Net::SSLeay 1.30 F/FL/FLORA/Net_SSLeay.pm-1.30.tar.gz
11 Net::SSLeay::Handle 0.61 S/SA/SAMPO/Net_SSLeay.pm-1.25.tar.gz
12 [...]
13
14 When up2date-ng iterates through the list, it assumes it will see the
15 highest version number last. Attached is a patch to take into account
16 the rather odd way CPAN indexes packages...
