Bug#916861: ITP: libwebservice-hmrc-perl -- Interact with the UK HMRC Making Tax Digital API
The packaging is in progress and does seem to build. However, there
are errors during the build as well as other issues with it.
Note also the TODO added to the debian/changelog:
* d/copyright: missing year, and (maybe) copyright holder ->
Copyright: 2018 Nick Prater, NP Broadcast Limited
* d/control: perl (>= 5.19.5) is what dh-make-perl makes from
List::Util: '1.33' until recently that should be "perl (>= 5.19.5) |
libscalar-list-utils-perl (>= 1:1.33)", since we have versioned
provides "libscalar-list-utils-perl (>= 1:1.33)" is enough
* d/control: short description should be a noun phrase
* tests throw warnings and worse: they try to connect to the
internet which is a policy violation
An issue was opened with upstream inquiring about the errors that come
up during a package build, which also occur during a simple 'perl
Makefile.PL && make test' of the module:

The progress of the packaging itself can be tracked at its code repository at:
