Daniel,
I have prepared a new version of libxml-encoding-perl. As this is the
package you care about, you can review it first before anyone uplaods
it: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libxml-encoding-perl/
Points worth drawing attention to:
1.) I had to change the repository browser to ViewVC. Although WebSVN
looks nicer, it does not scale well and ViewVC has a richer more
functional click semantics.
2.) By convention perl man pages are supposed to end in "p". The current
package seems to depart from this though I am not sure how intentionally.
3.) I was most puzzled by the maps directory. As far as I can see these
are examples and I have installed them as such.
4.) I was also surprised by the DM-Upload-Allowed flag as I have not
seen one before. It is howeve supported and there is no technical reason
to remove. I wonder what your thoughts are with the package hopefully
moving to a bigger team.

Daniel,
Gregor just added you to the group. So I guess a welcome is in order.
Also you can check out the #debian-perl irc channel.

Yes you can be retained as Uploader for all three packages. The Debian
Perl team uses subversion (though with a different layout). I find the
Debian perl layout easier to use. You can apply to join at
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-perl/. I am not sure it makes much
sense to have a team as an uploader though. I don't think we need to do
anything special with SVN. We just do "apt-get source; make changes and
then svn-inject and purge the old repository".

Daniel,
I propose moving the three perl packages
libsgmls-perl
libxml-parser-perl
libxml-encoding-perl
to the Debian Perl Group. Two of the three are out of date.
Yes, the result of lacking manpower. libsgmls-perl and
libxml-parser-perl are orphaned. I just care about libxml-encoding-perl
and I already saw, that there is a new release.
libxml-parser-perl has dependencies that can be reduced now that
libwww-perl is split. All are out of date with regard to standards. The
bugs look easily addressable. Of course I could just update them in
situ
but the Perl group seems a more natural home and is very active.
I agree to a move to the pkg-perl. All I request is, that the
debian-xml-sgml maintainer address is put into Uploaders and that the
packages are moved into a subversion tree. I would like to be added to
the pkg-perl team (dleidert-guest).
Do you need the full SVN dump of libxml-encoding-perl (or can you create
it yourself?)? The others are still in CVS IIRC.
Regards, Daniel
