Thanks to everyone attending the BoF on-site or via stream and IRC!

https://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/docs/sprint-lloret2017/report-lloret2017.html
* DebCamp / Montréal, July/August 2017
https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2017/DebianPerlDebCamp
- see upcoming report for details
* next year?
- Another Sprint?
- there is general interest
- again in Spring
- maybe combined with another event like suncamp
Low-hanging fruit sessions
--------------------------
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/LHF
* look back on 2016/17
- 21st of each month, first 2 at 18:00 UTC, then alternating between 17:00 UTC
and 19:00 UTC
- 11 happened, 2 cancelled
(vs. 8:2 in 2015/2016)
- 5.72 participants on average
(vs. 6.25 in 2015/2016)
17:00 5.5, 18:00 5.5, 19:00 6.0
- 20 unique persons
(vs. 14 in 2015/2016)
- between 1 and 11 times, 3.1 on average
(vs. 1-8, 3.64 on average)
- topics:
+ packaging: new upstream releases, bug fixes, reproducible, autopkgtest
+ QA across packages: dot-in-@INC, perl5.24, perl5.26
+ discussions: m-a:foreign, "enc2xs -C", random FTBFS, sprint,
stretch release notes
* look forward to 2017/18
- keep the agenda uptodate?
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/LHF/Agenda
- defined goals
- "team meetings"? people are generally ok with also having points
for discussion
- we continue with the dates/times as last year
Reproducible builds notifications
---------------------------------
turn them off (intri → h01ger)
Team status
-----------
* commit stats for last year: committer-stats (scripts.git)
- 54 persons with at least one commit in the last 365 days
(vs. 58 in 2014/2015, 56 in 2015/2016)
- 13 people with > 100 commits (and 1 with 99 :))
(vs. 11 in 2014/2015, 14 in 2015/2016)
* ping inactive members: find-inactive-contributors + mail-merge (scripts.git)
- done in 2016. results: https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2016/08/msg00017.html
- started by alexm in August 2017
- 71 pings sent: 14 keep, 4 remove, 20 bounce; 37 estimated removals so far.
Perl 5.26
---------
How did it go? Anything to learn for 5.28?
- full archive rebuild once (to catch packages only using perl-base)
Stretch freeze/release
----------------------
How did it go? Anything to learn for buster?
Freezy policy: various opinions/pros/cons about not uploading
'normal' updates during the freeze.
* this is a general question for Debian
* rc bugs especially at freeze need more bg knowledge, time, expertise
* next freeze is not for a while, so talk again
Projects for next time, items for discussion
--------------------------------------------
* git-debcherry - the end of an experiment?
- end it
* perl packages not part of perl team. I have came accross of a few
perl packages not part of the team and to me it looks like they
never worked. I guess someone packaged them to answer a RFP but not
actually used it. I fixed the ones I saw but this may be a bit more
widespread? Just enabling the autopkgtest on those packages was
enough to show the issues.
- dom offered to revive the offer from last year to identiy
packages which are not team maintained and may welcome team
maintainership
