πŸ’… DEPRECATION PLAN ✨

okay so this is File::S...rs::cpio(3), a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and bestie, it’s giving deprecation-plan energy. 🫢

This handler was added in mid-2017. As-of 2020-04-30, Debian ships a total of 8 .cpio files in binary packages, and none of these appear to be integral to the working of those packages. 😭 Like, literally none of them are out here carrying the package. πŸ’€

After consulting with the original (Bernhard, ie. OpenSuse), this handler is a good candidate to commence deprecation via initially making it optional. So yeah β€” deprecation arc, but make it optional first. πŸ‘‘


later, bestie πŸ’– β€” this page comes from perl v5.42.2, dated 2025-12-13. πŸŽ€
