[Bug 2042100] Re: [MIR] libmatch-simple-perl (libio-prompter-perl dependency)

[Lukas Märdian]

** Description changed:

  TBD by Foundations
  
- We should consider if this new dependency is really needed. And if so,
- if we could potentially drop the libmatch-simple-xs-perl Recommends,
- keeping only the libio-prompter-perl -> libmatch-simple-perl -> libsub-
- infix-perl dependency chain.
+ It looks like we actually need the new dependency + MIR as the
+ smartmatch operator is going to be deprecated in Perl 5.38+.
+ 
+ libmatch-simple-perl implements a compatible "match::smart" operator,
+ besides its "match::simple".
+ 
+ We should consider if we can drop the libmatch-simple-xs-perl
+ Recommends, keeping only the libio-prompter-perl -> libmatch-simple-perl
+ -> libsub-infix-perl dependency chain. libmatch-simple-xs-perl seems to
+ support the "match::simple" operator only, which is unneeded here.

  It looks like we actually need the new dependency + MIR as the
  smartmatch operator is going to be deprecated in Perl 5.38+.

  libmatch-simple-perl implements a compatible "match::smart" operator,
  besides its "match::simple".

  We should consider if we can drop the libmatch-simple-xs-perl
  Recommends, keeping only the libio-prompter-perl -> libmatch-simple-
  perl -> libsub-infix-perl dependency chain. libmatch-simple-xs-perl
  seems to support the "match::simple" operator only, which seems
  unneeded here.
