Subject: O: libcpanplus-perl -- Download and install perl modules from CPAN - in a modern way

Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 15:17:47 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the libcpanplus-perl package. I've packaged it back
when i thought i would regularly work with it, but this didn't happen.
As it will probably be a part of perl 5.10, someone should try to work
with our users to find out what the best way to package it is.
I've implemented some ideas, but didn't have the time to really check
if it works in every situation like I think it should.

The package description is:
 The CPANPLUS module is designed to automate the download, make and
 install of perl modules and extensions.
 .
 It uses the CPAN network to fetch all needed data and is also
 able to search for modules and/or keywords.
 .
 CPANPLUS will replace CPAN in the 5.10 series of perl.

The last line is obsolete anyway, CPAN will still be part of perl 5.10.

There is a new upstream release available (0.51), but the diff to the
Debian package (0.49) is *really* big.

Subject: Removed libcpanplus-perl from unstable

Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 16:44:55 -0400

We believe that the request you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

libcpanplus-perl |    0.049-3 | source, all

Reason: RoQA; orphaned; NPOASR, obsolete and out-of-date

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to the just-closed bug (or by
replying to this mail if there is no bug closed).

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
