On further investigation, one likely reason appears to be that a specific recommendation was made that was not followed-up. Zak: what has happened about this recommendation: http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/message/20060827.173053.b4fb5ed0.nl.html ==<quote>========= Hi Zak: Given the significant number of perl packages that you are adopting, would you consider putting them in the Debian Perl repository and joining the group. Generally once the packages are in there it is easy to get them uploaded by DD members of the group. All it takes is getting an account on alioth and asking for access to the pkg-perl repository. Cheers, Carlo ===</quote>======== It would be preferable, IMHO, to arrange sponsorship via the perl group, as per Carlo's recommendation. When such posts go unanswered, sponsors may well ignore that package in preference for one where the sponsoree is more forthcoming. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
