Sounds like the perfect process for the ones you want. I've been surrogate parent for his perlmods and many others for a few years but don't keep close track of all their CPAN releases on a regular basis...feel free to formally claim any you want. Along the way you can always remove: UseMaxBuildJobs:true since that's now default (lots of packages have slow release cycles, dating back to when that was not-default behavior). dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
