Hi, list!
I maintaining a port of a (very rarely used I guess) Perl Module,
databases/p5-DMOZ-ParseRDF, which has been moved to BackPAN[1] -
http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/P/PA/PAUL/ works, but
http://search.cpan.org/dist/DMOZ-ParseRDF gives no hits.
In the Makefile I use
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= DMOZ
but that doesn't work since MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN doesn't include
any BackPANs[2].
So, my question, which is really a general one: Should we ask
for the addition of a BackCPAN mirror to MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN
or should we start updating old Perl Module ports with direct links
to http://backpan.perl.org/?
Regards,
Hans

[2] It seems some normal Perl mirrors also include a BackPAN mirror,
for example ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/
