The Debian Perl team is planning a sprint from May 18th to 21st in Lloret de Mar (ES) that will be part of the Debian Sun Camp event: https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2017/DebianPerlSprint https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/Europe/2017/DSC The general goals are: * Kick off the buster development for pkg-perl. * QA work across our 3000+ packages. And the potential topics are: * Preparation for Perl 5.26, perl.debian.net. * Decide about packages with RC bugs / file RM bugs. * Dual-lived modules: update alternative dependencies, explicitly depend on modules which are deprecated or removed from perl core, discuss/implement versioned provides. * Check all libapp-*-perl (and potentially other) packages for real applications whose (binary) packages should rather be named foo instead of libapp-foo-perl. * Add/check autopkgtests to all packages. * Improve autopkgtest-pkg-perl framework. * Fix reproducible build issues. * dh-make-perl bug fixing/improvements. * pkg-perl-tools bug fixing/improvements. * Fix or work around known nondeterministic test failures. There are at least 4 members of the team expected to attend the sprint. At least 3 of them will need travel and accommodation sponsorship, and 1 accommodation only. The budget estimate is 2010€ (up to 2200€ for contingency). Cheers! Alex
