If it is approved, I will try to do that before Perl 5.28 mass rebuild so that the change becomes visible in Fedora 29 release. I propose rewriting both URL and Source tags like this: -URL: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPANPLUS/ +URL: https://metacpan.org/release/CPANPLUS -Source0: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/CPANPLUS-%{cpan_version}.tar.gz +Source0: https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/CPANPLUS-%{cpan_version}.tar.gz Are you fine with it? While the old addresses will probably work, I believe it makes sense to update them because: (1) The less intermediary steps to the final location, the better. (Fewer things can get broken.) (2) It's good when a user see the same address in RPM and in his web browser. -- Petr
