At that time they will transparently redirect all URL requests to comparable MetaCPAN pages. FreeBSD porting style usually requires that the URL for Perl modules (in pkg-descr) be set to something like... # WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/ # While these links will (theoretically) continue working, we should think about a mass find-replace in all "*/p5-*/pkg-descr" URL fields to point to new MetaCPAN URLs. Also, the Porter's Handbook / portlint / etc would need to be updated to recommend using MetaCPAN URLs instead of the existing search.cpan.org links. I didn't see any other discussions on this in the past couple months of the mailinglist archive so I thought I'd raise the issue here :) -Greg Gret, thank you for calling attention to this. My hunch is that once search.cpan.org has been retired, we should take a sample of the URL fields in the pkg-descr field and verify the links they actually resolve to (as distinct from what they are currently *expected* to resolve to). At that point, a mass find-replace becomes feasible and testable. Thank you very much.
