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 [1] http://log.perl.org/2005/09/create_your_own.html [2] It seems some normal Perl mirrors also include a BackPAN mirror, for example ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/
