Package: wnpp Severity: normal IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this package go and find a loving new maintainer for it. NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands wet. If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over. Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer, provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on <http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/> for taking over. Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care just as before, of course... $ apt-cache showsrc libhttp-cache-transparent-perl Package: libhttp-cache-transparent-perl Binary: libhttp-cache-transparent-perl Version: 0.6-2 Priority: optional Section: perl Maintainer: Florian Ernst <florian@debian.org> Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 4.1.0), perl (>= 5.8.0), perl-modules, libwww-perl (>= 5.65), libtest-simple-perl Architecture: all Standards-Version: 3.6.2 Format: 1.0 Directory: pool/main/libh/libhttp-cache-transparent-perl Files: 3909a42576136e1874c5fe55f687e28c 727 libhttp-cache-transparent-perl_0.6-2.dsc 49208c9cd61f8f687c5f5031845c5de2 7571 libhttp-cache-transparent-perl_0.6.orig.tar.gz 2c84cccd9fbfa7a84fe77bd6770c8114 1860 libhttp-cache-transparent-perl_0.6-2.diff.gz $ apt-cache show libhttp-cache-transparent-perl Package: libhttp-cache-transparent-perl Priority: optional Section: perl Installed-Size: 76 Maintainer: Florian Ernst <florian@debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 0.6-2 Depends: perl (>= 5.8.0), perl-modules, libwww-perl (>= 5.6.5) Filename: pool/main/libh/libhttp-cache-transparent-perl/libhttp-cache-transparent-perl_0.6-2_all.deb Size: 12194 MD5sum: f2cf286f32b7b6a92f62c03942f45a09 Description: Perl module used to transparently cache HTTP requests This is the CPAN module HTTP::Cache::Transparent. . HTTP::Cache::Transparent is an implementation of HTTP GET that keeps a local cache of fetched pages to avoid fetching the same data from the server if it hasn't been updated. The cache is stored on disk and is thus persistent between invocations. . The http-headers If-Modified-Since and ETag are used to let the server decide if the version in the cache is up-to-date or not. All http-requests are made through the LWP module. Data is stored on disk by the Storable module. Digest::MD5 is used for creating a hash of the URL. .
