Re: Automatic generation of Debian-Packages
Hmmm... I was thinking of a group that:
* handle the RFP of perl modules,
* Document the usage of tools like dh-make-perl
* Improve such tools
* Handle the bugs of the packages under group's maintainance
* Encourage CPAN developers that uses debian to help the group
* Maintain up to date the packages under group's maintainance
And, if we have free time:
* Create debian packages for other CPAN modules, even without a RFP
(maybe maintaining a survey of "Which CPAN module would you like to
see in Debian?", and packaging the most wanted).
