That brings me to share another idea: Now that the release of etch is nearing (well, sort of ...) I've been thinking about a PPPP (Perl Packages' Polishing Party). With "Polishing" I mean to bring all Perl modules up2date, i.e. * Standards-Version 3.7.2 * Debhelper compatibility level 5 * Homepage in debian/control * watch file (existing and accurate) * Build-Depends-Indep * new upstream versions * ... Cf. also http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mDebian_Perl_Group.html http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/maintainer.php?maint=pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org I know that Debian is more about doing stuff than proposing it ;-) and I'm willing to do part of this work, but I wanted to check * if others consider this useful * if some DDs from the DPG would be willing to check and sponsor these changes. What do you think about shiny new Perl modules' packages?
