I've just learned of these groups, and as it seems like an appropriate place to discuss this, I'm forwarding a draft proposal for updates to META.yml here. Some discussion has already taken place on the module-authors and module-build mailing-list as a result of a post on external dependencies; the attached pod is the result of that and a few changes I've made since reading past articles in these lists. The updates are geared toward providing cpan-testers with data to help with automation of testing, documenting existing practices, and some alternative suggestions. The changes I've made over that on <http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html> are noted in the "History" section under the dates of Nov 13 & 16.
I would be grateful for any further discussion & suggestions.

I think nobody is on these lists :( I think you may have a better luck at p5p, at least somebody will tell you where to take it if it's a wrong forum.
Thanks. I've already posted my final proposal to the Module-Build list <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6578408> for Ken to review (along with references to the original discussions). I think everyone that wanted to comment on META.yml has done so. My goal was mainly to gather suggestions I had seen in threads on various lists, along with some common practices that have emerged, and a few of my own suggestions, so I could present them as a single proposal to Ken.
Regards, Randy.
