Request for perl-Archive-Extract

Achim,

Please could you add Archive::Extract when you next update a batch of 
Perl modules. I've attached a cygport file, which you might find helpful 
as a starting point. If you'd prefer not to maintain this yourself then 
let me know and I'll submit an ITP.

Many thanks in advance,

Dave.

I automatically generate all cygport files for Perl distributions…  I
have that one already locally, so it's not much work to add to Cygwin,
but may I ask what do you need it for?

The module works just fine without any of these installed, giving a
warning about the missing compression utilities when it hits them, so
I'd rather not pull in all these requirements.

The company I'm working for at the moment needs it for an internal 
script that they're developing. I've made a package for them using the 
cygport file I e-mailed earlier. However, I'd rather the package was 
available in the main repo (even if I have to maintain that package 
myself) because then I don't have to add any additional packages to the 
stock Cygwin that I download. Plus then the rest of the Cygwin community 
can benefit from it!

Do I take it that you'd be happy to maintain the package, or would you 
prefer me to submit an ITP?

Dave.

I'll ITP that, but later.  I'll have to look what else I need to roll up
in that ITP.
