-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Moin,
I Cc:ed [EMAIL PROTECTED], they are the "ones" ;) to decide this, if the authors are not responding. Although I wouldn't count on beeing lucky, since I am trying to "patch/takeover/maintain" Math::Fraction for almost two years. The authors address is dead, and multiply requests/efforts all resulting in "lets wait a few months mores" ;) The best bet is that the authors respond and let you do something. Unfortunately, it is not possible to register a co-author via CPAN, like someone who can release new versions, while the original author is still in effect. Hope that helps, Tels On 02-Mar-02 Adrian Phillips tried to scribble about: > > On the Amavis mailing list (www.amavis.org) it has been mentioned > several times that Archive::Tar and Archive::Zip are unmaintained, the > current amavis author has tried to send patches for both packages in > the past few months without any success; apparently there was supposed > to be a new version of Archive::Zip released a logn while ago. > > Now, I would just like to say that I am not criticising the current > maintainers/authors if they have been unable to find the time to > release newer versions.
