I bumped their versions. > XSLoader I updated this, triggering a change to META.json. I don't think it will be problematic, but I'd like a quick review by somebody other than me. > # LIKELY "cpan" > ExtUtils::Constant > File-Path > IO-Zlib > libnet > parent > PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint > Pod-Escapes > s2p[1] > Term-Cap > Text-ParseWords > Time-Piece[2] I updated these, save for s2p. I left Time-Piece as upstream cpan. I have adopted it for the time being and will work through its backlog of tickets. (11 down, 8 to go.) After that, we'll see. If nothing else, we know that I will be around to integrate changes back to it! > # rjbs doesn't want to guess > encoding::warnings Still don't. > * THINGS TO REMOVE: > win32 That's the only one I didn't remove. Win32Core ends up showing as having no maintainer, and I'm not sure how we want to deal with this. For now, leaving it as is. May very well change it to upstream blead. Please object if you're going to object to anything. Otherwise, one the XSLoader thing is sorted, this work will get applied. -- rjbsThread Previous | Thread Next
