Re: Patch for use Peder Stray's perl-rename package

[bill-auger]

i made that change to 'makeicecat', because the arch
'perl-rename' does not support the features used by makeicecat

i packaged the 'Robin Barker' version to support 'makeicecat'
unmodified; which seems to be the PERL upstream supported
version, and the one that ubuntu/trisquel has - that version
supports the features used by 'makeicecat' - you could use the
'perl-file-rename' package if you like, to avoid carrying that
patch

https://metacpan.org/release/File-Rename
https://git.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/pcr/perl-file-rename/PKGBUILD

the 'pederst' version packaged in arch, appears to be
unmaintained; the arch package specified the wrong license, and
no other arch package depends on it - for all those reasons, i
wrote to the arch packager about six months ago, suggesting to
change upstreams; but i have not gotten any reply - so, i would
expect carrying that patch for a long time, if not forever

the usage is trivial; so we have also discussed re-writing the
script to use 'find' instead; which would eliminate the entire
mess - IMHO, that would be a better change to make to makeicecat
- could yo do that?
