Latest revision as of 08:46, 11 July 2013

We will aim at Rawhide as MORE & MORE packages are being splited from perl main or vice versa.

- The package is not in Fedora
File:Artwork EchoDevelopment dialog-question16.png - The package is bundled in other package
- The package is being prepared
- Maybe some modified things existed
- The package is present in Fedora
