Re: some advices about packaging and orphaning on CPAN and debian
Hi Marc,
I maintain a bunch of Perl modules on CPAN [1] as well in Debian [2].

So I have questions:

package to CPAN the way people do in 2024? I remember about module-starter
and distzilla, both had issues and Makefile.PL was good enough for me.
I have had reasonably good experience with Dist::Zilla, as it reduces
the build and distribution infrastructure to a single configuration
file, usually of few dozens lines of length even for XS packages. For
one more intricate case I had to write Module::Build plugin.
To package CPAN modules for Debian I use cpan2deb (a.k.a. dh-make-perl) [3].
* I'll move the projects from github and deal with patches and issues by
mail. can we still use the PAUSE RT to do so ? (I'll update the documentations)
As Étienne and Russ wrote, rt.cpan.org has been salvaged.
Best,
Andrius
