Re: [RFE][PATCH] cygport: allow for subdirectory specification via CPAN_AUTHOR

Hi Yaakov,


several Perl distributions have chosen to put the actual archives in a
subdirectory (e.g. Inline::Files).  So far I've dealt with those by editing
SRC_URI after "inherit perl", but I'd like something more straigtforward.  I
propose that CPAN_AUTHOR should optionally include this additional subdirectory
as a "/subdir" suffix.  Patch to that effect:

Just for easier understanding: How would that look like for e.g. A/AM/AMBS/Inline/Inline-Files-0.68.tar.gz

NAME=Inline-Files
inherit perl
CPAN_AUTHOR=AMBS/Inline

Looks a bit weird. Don't we have a better field for this cpan quirks?
Like a new CPAN_DIR which defaults to CPAN_AUTHOR?

Support subdirectories in CPAN download URL

     * cygclass/perl.cygclass: Allow CPAN_AUTHOR to have a /subdir suffix.
       This is necessary for some modules that put the distribution files
       in some subdirectory.  Only upcase the actual author name (up until
       the first "/") and preserve case for the suffix part.
