Do people not know to check the documentation first?
@theory Yes.
I think the most promising standard for referring to out-of-ecosystem dependencies is with #PackageURL
If all goes well (crossing fingers) I'm hoping we'll have some support for this in the #CPAN toolchain not too long after PTS in April.
https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec (plus the version-range-spec branch, when it's done)
With this, we'll be able to specify dependencies in a cpanfile like this:
requires "pkg:deb/ubuntu/libfoobar-dev" => "vers:deb/>=1.0";

Of course, no one else but me probably wants/needs this.
I'm trying to build a graphics device compatible with the latest #RStats graphics engine (v15) which supports things like patterns, groups, luminance masks etc.
Have you seen that "France is bacon" post knocking around the internet? I have a similar personal experience I'd like to share with you.
As a child I had often heard the phrase "tilting at windmills", and quickly understood that it sort of meant "lost the plot". The thing is, I never knew what "tilting" actually meant, other than something leaning at a jaunty angle.
Skip forward to my mid-to-late twenties while I'm playing Final Fantasy XIII and I encounter an enemy called a "Tilter", a large machine thing that looks a bit like a lance welding centaur, ish. So, there I was wondering why it was called a Tilter when it clearly wasn't tilting, so I looked it up and discovered Don Quixote (something that I spent a long time pronouncing very wrong), and suddenly everything made sense
However, I still like the image I have of people leaning towards windmills and falling flat on their face as a metaphor for definitely having lost the plot. The only difference now is that they don't angrily and in defiance of the existence of windmills.
