Net::SMTP is part of core Perl (as of v5.7.3), but the version you want to rely on (which you did not provide an explicit dependency on) is from October 2014. That basically means that no Perl on a Red Hat or CentOS system is going to provide that support, since RHEL 7 was released in June 2014. Providing an updated Git on those platforms would require replacing the system Perl or parts of it, which would be undesirable. This would affect Debian 7 as well. We currently support Perl 5.8 [0], so if you want to remove support for Net::SMTP::SSL, I'd recommend a solution that works with that version. [0] I personally believe we should drop support for Perl older than 5.10.1 (if not newer), but that's my opinion and it isn't shared by other list regulars. --=20 brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | https://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204 --neavn23ectxz6din Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.1.15 (GNU/Linux) iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEX8OngXdrJt+H9ww3v1NdgR9S9osFAlgyG2gACgkQv1NdgR9S 9ot7wA/+PSjQQvdc9v1Nkk/riSP6SvFEfXRGFqmhArizXSVHl/n3bvRCuRPXfh1v IrxTE24g4vXZaJcWW+i533LO5TAFzfg3nb43y1PqDFAdxYd6CSwyYjqvrsWv2mCM DjO3fkgi/MezSKam47EbhJCgc24UshZgRV7eTahe67jEupLUhY3+L8gJ1/4I3Tcd C57qirls+CLrTu2zA9Ip0kbu3E2ZTiNwVuFUxDp2ScXowtCwjPI/bwvNDmHhPJRI nEtFEbjPuZ64rwxrxmz0VhwbAT5Bni0JuOcZ2MoDxt23+IEm+NIOxIAPpS4EDaxO kNZbnYEq0lEKpK2fnDzuUT7kTSueFlaisnSANDmPk/NhiX/uabloQq2gJQLFLzhX 6IspHDC8qNW5MKzgTK0XAlvbIanMHPV0KbmOQrMYHWJuI4QmLRAkIFSNiCIU1THz wa7toFd8PhkCtzbS+dT9Ml+Dqg8bUyzPzZSGYDxhp9MQND2IuD+ikGq6T1tG0prT 9ce+K0pVjhC53hBp0sBT7JP5QbMvvX5cVVpNk8vrgWxI0pf6DLaJrB3L0iBExDuh SFHLdNIu9eTsLTsp/xDbHBPXWCBRc9jK/eSJJoC3p8SPYx8nrszMc+yHT/HMAfUM /1LVXFY7rzKYx02RW+gmRSAjvYVZ0UFsHaJ+50wu/Jfj2yTiCZw= =CdZ0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --neavn23ectxz6din--
