Matthieu Moy bd869f67b9 send-email: add and use a local copy of Mail::Address ... We used to have two versions of the email parsing code. Our parse_mailboxes (in Git.pm), and Mail::Address which we used if installed. Unfortunately, both versions have different sets of bugs, and changing the behavior of git depending on whether Mail::Address is installed was a bad idea. A first attempt to solve this was cc90750 (send-email: don't use Mail::Address, even if available, 2017-08-23), but it turns out our parse_mailboxes is too buggy for some uses. For example the lack of nested comments support breaks get_maintainer.pl in the Linux kernel tree: https://public-inbox.org/git/20171116154814.23785-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org/ This patch goes the other way: use Mail::Address anyway, but have a local copy from CPAN as a fallback, when the system one is not available. The duplicated script is small (276 lines of code) and stable in time. Maintaining the local copy should not be an issue, and will certainly be less burden than maintaining our own parse_mailboxes. Another option would be to consider Mail::Address as a hard dependency, but it's easy enough to save the trouble of extra-dependency to the end user or packager.
