Hi and welcome!

"Packaging" and "perl" are keywords that make me reply :)

I think the perl packages are in rather good shape but there's always
some work to do -- fixing bugs, integrating new upstream releases,
creating new packages where RFPs (requests for packaging) have been
filed. And the number of active members is lower than the number of
"official" members, so we can always need further helping hands; and
working in a team is fun :)

Hi all,

up to now I always insisted to stay listed in the Maintainer field of my
packages. I just changed this as I must recognize that I take less and
less care of them (instead I spend most of Debian time on dpkg, alioth and
other stuff).

I changed the fields in the SVN repo but I didn't upload them just for
this. Most packages are in fairly good shape but there are some that could
benefit from some love nevertheless.

In particular libdbd-pg-perl and libdbd-mysql-perl have a few outstanding
bugs that could be verified and forwarded upstream. The other just need to
be checked and maybe adjusted for newer policy.

The complete list is:
libcarp-datum-perl
libdbd-mysql-perl
libdbd-pg-perl
liblocale-gettext-perl
libmldbm-perl
libmsgcat-perl
libxml-mini-perl

Eric,

Are there any news about this, are working on it, do you need help,
anything?

It would be nice if you can share your plans.

Thanks,

No problem.

:)

Thanks for reminding us that the situation is not optimal.

I'm not sure if the maintainer of yaz is actually MIA but at least
with regard to yaz he seems more or less inactive. Could you take a
look into the MIA database of the echolon iformation in LDAP?

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
gregor

As discussed on debian-devel@l.d.o dpkg is ready for the new
Homepage: field in the source stanza of debian/control.

dam and rmayorga and me have been discussing the idea of a "mass fix"
for all packages in the repository, i.e. removing the pseudo-field
from the Description (only a few packages) and adding the new field.
I've hacked up a small and ugly (shell) script for that purpose, and
it seems that it does it's job not too bad; the new field is
constructed from http://search.cpan.org/dist/ + module name from
Makefile.PL).

Before I let it run over trunk:
* Are there any general objections against using the new field?
* Could someone take a look at the script (in our repo at
scripts/qa/homepagecheck)? Any improvements/re-writes welcome!
* Is the approach for constructing the URL sane?

Any other thoughts?

Cheers,
gregor

Hi all,

if you have 5 minutes of spare time, please read

http://julian.io.link-m.de/misc/%%23debian-perl_source-package-naming.txt

and give your opinions on whether, and under which circumstances, _source_
packages of Perl modules in Debian should be required to be named
/^lib.*-perl$/. (This is not about binary package names, which should be
named so without a doubt.) Thanks!

Julian.
