Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230
Eight members of the Debian Perl team met online between May 15 and May 17 2020, in lieu of a planned physical sprint meeting. Work focussed on preparations for bullseye, and continued maintenance of the large number of perl modules maintained by the team. Whilst an online sprint cannot fully replace an in-person sprint in terms of focussing attention, the weekend was still very productive, and progress was made on a range of topics including:
Reducing technical debt by removing unmaintained packages
Beginning packaging and QA for the next major release of perl, 5.32
Deciding on a team policy for hardening flags
Addressing concerns with Alien::*, a set of pacakges designed to download source code
Developing a proposal for debian/NEWS.Developer, to complement debian/NEWS
Developing a plan to enable SSL verification in HTTP::Tiny by default
The full report was posted to the relevant Debian mailing lists. The participants would like to thank OpusVL for providing the Jitsi instance for the weekend.
