I wish to take over maintenance of Data::Alias. I have recently published a substantial patch to update it for post-5.10 Perls, but the author (XMATH) is unresponsive. xmath has been noted as being unresponsive in recent months. This particularly affected Sub::Name, which was broken by a core change in 5.13.3. Despite a trivial patch being available, xmath never released a fixed version, and ultimately it was taken over by rafl (FLORA). Data::Alias got broken by core changes in 5.11.0 and 5.11.2. Until recently there was no fix to make it work on 5.12. I posted a fix to <xmath@cpan.org> and <perl5-porters@perl.org> on 2010-10-12. In that message I offered to take over maintenance. xmath has not replied to my message of 2010-10-12. Given the prior history, I don't think a long wait is required to establish that he's long-term unresponsive. -zeframThread Previous | Thread Next
