Following up on http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-perl-maintainers/2012-March/052645.html and the bug reports http://bugs.debian.org/660404 and http://bugs.debian.org/690908 I've now looked at some of the mentioned modules, and I've created preliminary packages for DateTime::TimeZone::Olson / libdatetime-timezone-olson-perl: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libdatetime-timezone-olson-perl.git Time::OlsonTZ::Data / libtime-olsontz-data-perl: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libtime-olsontz-data-perl.git Before I file ITP bugs and upload them, I'd like to have some review; especially on my patch for Time::OlsonTZ::Data, which makes the module use the tzfiles from tzdata in /usr/share/zoneinfo instead of duplicating them: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libtime-olsontz-data-perl.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/tzdata.patch;hb=HEAD http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libtime-olsontz-data-perl.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;hb=HEAD Besides a general sanity check, some more tests for this patch would be welcome. What I'm also missing is the big picture how those package relate to the good old DateTime::TimeZone with its tzfiles-converted-to-pm-files. It's supposed to use Time::OlsonTZ::Data at some point, right? Do we need something else? I think we can skip Time::OlsonTZ::Download, since we want to use our tzdata anyway, right? And I think App::olson is also not required. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
