taking over CPAN modules of someone who passed away

2002-12-11 Thread Gabor Szabo

Hi,

one of the members of Israel.pm - Ariel Brosh - has passed
away a couple of month ago. With Oded Reznik, a previous employer 
and friend of him we have discussed that we should make sure his 
modules on CPAN are going to be in good hands. I volunteered to 
take care of this.

Ariels CPAN id was SCHOP, he had 14 distributions, one of them 
was registered. Seehttp://search.cpan.org/author/SCHOP

There are two issues:
1) I'd like to keep his CPAN id alive and in his directory 
write a few lines, probably in a README file mentioning that he 
has passed away and that his modules are now maintained by 
other people. How can I do this ? - Naturally I don't know
his password.

2) I'd like to know how can someone take over his modules ? 
Is this only a matter of uploading a higher version to the 
home directory of the new maintainer ?
In the CPAN FAQ there is an entry
"How do I go about maintaining a module when the author is unresponsive?"
but I did not see whom should I contact at CPAN in order to resolve this 
matter in case the original maintainer is not responding

Once I understand this I'll announce the availability of the modules so 
anyone who is interested will be able to take them over. 
The remaining modules probably I (SZABGAB) will take over temporarily in 
case there are requests for bug fixes and/or to make the next transition 
easier.

I got only one e-mail from PAUSE!

2015-05-18 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi CPAN Admins!

as I recall I used to get two e-mails from PAUSE for every upload, but now
I got only one.

I've uploaded  https://metacpan.org/release/SZABGAB/Pod-Tree-1.17_01
2 hours ago and got only the first e-mail. I have not received the e-mail
about indexing.

Is this because it is a developer release with an _ in the version number?

I could not find any information about when I am supposed to get an e-mail
in this document:  http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about

Looking at the log file I could not figure it out either:
https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=tail_logfile
I did not see any mention of "e-mail sent" in there or indexing start, or
indexing skipped.

regards
   Gabor

Thank for the explanation.

I think it should explain when I should expect an e-mail and when not and
how can I verify things.
So what I understand now is that I need to upload a non-developer release
in order to see if
I've received the co-maintainer right on all the modules in the
distribution.

Oh. After my initial message to the modules@perl.org list I managed to

Morgane, if you don't have access to PAUSE or you don't have the time

Re: Maintenance of Text::MediawikiFormat

Hi,

I'd like to let Mohammad Anwar (MANWAR) co-maintain this module.
Could you please add him to be the co-maintainer of all 3 modules listed
below?
https://metacpan.org/release/Text-MediawikiFormat

- Text::MediawikiFormat <https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::MediawikiFormat>
- Text::MediawikiFormat::Block
<https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Text-MediawikiFormat/lib/Text/MediawikiFormat/Block.pm>
- Text::MediawikiFormat::Blocks
<https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::MediawikiFormat::Blocks>

As I can see from PAUSE,  Derek Price (DPRICE) is the first-come maintainer
of Text::MediawikiFormat and the *Blocks  submodule,
but only a co-maintainer of the *Block submodule. That module does not seem
to have any first-come maintainer.

Well, Ariel Brosh (SCHOP), the original author is dead for sure.
I don't know about Corris. I hope he is OK.

For the record of the modules mailing list only:

I managed to contact Corris who responded immediately and
told us that he cannot continue to maintain the module due
to too much work.

So I added Walery as the co-maintainer of the module.


I don't pass the ownership of any of the modules originally
created by the late Ariel Brosh (SCHOP) in order to preserve
somehow the fact that that he created these modules originally.


Walery,

I'd like to thank you again for taking care of the module.

Fwd: How to delete old versions of a distribution that were uploaded by someone else?

2013-05-23 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi,

I am the current maintainer of the module Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate
I got a bug report https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85463
requesting to remove the old version of the distribution, but I don't have
the rights to that as they were not uploaded by me.

The  author was not responsive a few years ago already when I wanted to take
over the module so I doubt he will be now.

How can I remove those distributions?

Actually this can be a more generic question. What happens to the old
distributions on CPAN
that were uploaded by the author or a previous maintainer if they
disappear and after
there is a new maintainer?

Adopting Regexp-Common-time

2013-09-29 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi,

I'd like to patch Regexp-Common-time and sent e-mail to Eric,
a few weeks ago but have not received any response.
Could you please try to contact him or initiate the process to
get maintainer-bit.

Hi Eric,

I hope you monitor this address more frequently than the one
for CPAN.
In the meantime I pushed my changes to
https://github.com/szabgab/Regexp-Common-time to make it easier for
you to fetch, if you decide to do so.

Hi Eric,

I just encountered some test failures in Regexp-Common-time-0.04
Do you have a public repository of the source code that I could fork
and send patches?

If you are not interested in maintaining the module I'd be glad to set
up a Github repository and release a new version. In that case, please
give me co-main bit on PAUSE.

Hi brian,

I wonder if my messages went to a spam folder or if there are other

In any case, can I get the co-main bit on Regexp-Common-time ?

Becomming co-maintainer of CAM-PDF-Annot and CAM-PDF-Annot-Parsed

Hi,

I have sent an e-mail to Donato a while ago without any reply. I even asked

not find him either.

Could you please give me (SZABGAB) co-main bit on the modules in these two

Hi Derek,

I've just tried to install Text::MediawikiFormat as a prerequisite of some
other module, but
it failed. I know I can install it after skipping the tests, but I think it
would be much better to
upload a new version to CPAN fixing this issue.

As I can see you have not touched an y of your CPAN modules since 2008 so I
wonder
if you'd be ok giving me co-maintainership of Text::MediawikiFormat
and Text::MediawikiFormat::*
so I can upload a new version and get it indexed.

If yes, please go to http://pause.perl.org/ login, select "Change
Permission" that will
bring you to https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=share_perms
In the 3.-rd box select the module names and click on 3.1

This is unclear to my. I have tried to upload a tar.gz file with only a
script in it.
No mention of any package.
Yet it was not indexed.

I am creating this in order to test some feature of the search.cpan.org
clone
I have been working on for a while.

There was a distribution called apid that I used to test agains, but it has
just been removed from CPAN

http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/T/TL/TLINDEN/apid-0.04.tar.gz

How was that indexed? Why isn't mine indexed?

How should I tweak it to get indexed?

BTW I tried to remove the dashes from the distribution name but that was
also rejected:



User: SZABGAB (Gabor Szabo)
  Distribution file: CPANTestDummySCOMissing-0.36.tar.gz
  Number of files: 7

This distribution name can only be used by users with permission for the

I have been the maintainer of Term::ReadPassword::Win32 for a while and

Re: Maintenance of Text::MediawikiFormat

Hi Ron.

There is also a Text::MediawikiFormat::Block package in the distro hiding
in the Blocks.pm file
Could you please give me co-maintainer bit on that too.

Fwd: Failed: PAUSE indexer report SZABGAB/Text-MediawikiFormat-1.03.tar.gz

2014-11-19 Thread Gabor Szabo
This is the failure I get.

In the latest upload I have moved the package Text::MediawikiFormat::Block
to its own file,
but earlier it was in the lib/Text/MediawikiFormat/Blocks.pm file.

Could someone with enough right look at this, please?

I got co-maintainer bit for most of the modules in this distribution but
not all of them.

Hi Linda,

I think there is a lot of truth in what you are writing
but I also understand people get nervous when they
are told to get serious.
They want to keep the right to "not give a shit" and
I can understand that. They (or may I say, 'we') have
other things in our life and after uploading the module
they are usually more important than that module.

The main problem, as I see, is that contribution to a module or
co-maintainer ship feels a lot less interesting, and a lot less valuable
than having your name on you own module. (yeah, lots of ego-trip in there).

I think if we could encourage more people to contribute to
existing modules and if we could encourage module authors to
let more people contribute/co-main etc. their modules,
a large part of the problems (lack of maintenance,
too many similar solutions to the same problem)
we encounter would go away.

I am not sure we can do that or how to do achieve that.

Gabor


taking over Term-ReadPassword

2012-09-11 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi,

A week ago I sent a message to  Tom Phoenix ,
the address on https://metacpan.org/author/PHOENIX but no reply so far.
If you have a better way to contact Tom Phoenix, could you please
check if he would be ok to hand me over the (co-)maintainership of his module?

I am already the maintainer of Term::ReadPassword::Win32
I fixed it and I'd like to integrate the two modules as also recommended in
https://metacpan.org/module/Term::ReadPassword#BUGS

PAUSE:   SZABGAB

thanks
Gabor
