How about allowing a package maintainer to set a "bug tracking URL",
and when this is set, rt.cpan.org will redirect a user there? That way
people who don't want to use rt.cpan.org can just have it redirect to what
they *do* want to use (sourceforge or whatever).
On the German Perl Workshop a similar poit was raised: the URL of the
repository of a distro. Having both in the META.yml seems the way to
go.
There was talks sometime ago about have several URLs in META.yml for things
like
project homepage, bug tracker, repository etc. I am not sure if anything ever
came of it though
It's part of the 1.2 spec:
<http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.2.html#resources>
This might be a little off-topic, but the links to several modules
include author names (which are sometimes wrong: at least for
Module::Install http://search.cpan.org/author/KWILLIAMS/Module-Install/
). That's probably a bad idea since module releases might be taken over
at any time. For example, going to
http://search.cpan.org/author/AUTRIJUS/PAR won't get you to the current
release of PAR whereas http://search.cpan.org/dist/PAR will at all times.
Oops, I don't know how that link got mixed up. Thanks for catching it.
Apologies to Audrey and Adam.
Ken, is it ok if we use the more generic 'dist' links?
