Introduction
Hi,
my Name is Andreas Vögele. I'm VOEGELAS on CPAN and voegelas on Salsa.
I'd like to package my Perl module IP::Geolocation::MMDB and its
prerequisite Alien::libmaxminddb.
While Alien::libmaxminddb depends on Alien::Build and its dependencies,
the built IP::Geolocation::MMDB module does only depend on libmaxminddb
and modules that are distributed with Perl.
Once the modules are available as packages, I'd like to get support for
IP::Geolocation::MMDB into SpamAssassin as an alternative to the
deprecated MaxMind::DB::Reader module.
Both modules are stable and are only updated if Perl or libmaxminddb
require changes.
I build Debian packages at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:voegelas/perl-IP-Geolocation-MMDB
and I maintain Fedora packages.
Right now, I'm reading documents from
https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/, but I'm not sure where to begin.
Should I create an RFP and wait for approval or rejection? Should I ask
to become a member of the Debian Perl Group?
I'm familiar with Perl, C and packaging and could work on packages with
bugs or maybe lintian.
Kind regards,
Andreas
