Hello! I would like to maintain or co-maintain Minecraft::RCON. The last release of Minecraft::RCON was in January 2013, and unfortunately lacks a critical feature (fragmentation support). I have tried to contact the author and current maintainer (DEMMY) at both his listed email, <frede...@webkonsept.com> as well as the <de...@cpan.org> address, with no reply. Communication summary: * August 19th - Sent email asking about future plans for module, or willingness to allow me to work on it. No bounce, no reply. * August 26th - Filed RT #130381 regarding fragmentation support. No activity yet. * September 5th - Sent a follow-up email. No bounce, no reply. (Emails with headers below) I have been maintaining my own local copy of this distribution with several fixes and improvements (including tests, and frag support), so it would be nice to be able to make this module relevant again. Thanks, - Ryan <r...@cpan.org> ___________________________________________ To: fred...@webkonsept.com From: Ryan Thompson <r...@cpan.org> Subject: Minecraft::RCON perl5 module Message-ID: <fb5ba0c1-81c5-5ad4-6213-e329bc956...@ry.ca> Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 09:16:30 -0600 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.8.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------C62E2D1A26C9F9534F9D1DFF" Content-Language: en-US This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------C62E2D1A26C9F9534F9D1DFF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Fredrik! I'm looking at the Minecraft::RCON <https://metacpan.org/release/Minecraft-RCON> module you've written. It looks great, and I would like to use it in a project of mine, but the lack of fragmentation support is a problem. I notice you had some future plans to implement that, but the last update to the module was nearly seven years ago. Did you ever end up implementing fragmentation support? And do you have any plans to work on the module anytime soon? If not, would you consider passing the maintainer torch? I'd be able to keep it maintained along with other ongoing work I'm doing. Cheers, - Ryan <r...@cpan.org> ________________________________________________________________________ Subject: Re: Minecraft::RCON perl5 module To: de...@cpan.org, fred...@webkonsept.com References: <fb5ba0c1-81c5-5ad4-6213-e329bc956...@ry.ca> From: Ryan Thompson <r...@cpan.org> Message-ID: <fb898488-0135-32c4-1409-88ef69790...@ry.ca> Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2019 08:51:59 -0600 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.8.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <fb5ba0c1-81c5-5ad4-6213-e329bc956...@ry.ca> Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------C8BC49941A2A18FF9FA4C3F2" Content-Language: en-US This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------C8BC49941A2A18FF9FA4C3F2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi again Fredrik! I haven't heard back from you yet... and that's OK! I don't want to put any pressure on you. I just wanted to let you know that I filed an issue on rt.cpan.org (#130381 <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=130381>) for the fragmentation support. Do you have any desire to work on this module? If so, great! Otherwise, I'd be happy to contact the PAUSE admins to get it switched over. I don't have any other contact information for you, but as the last message did not bounce, hopefully these are getting through. Cheers, - Ryan <r...@cpan.org>
