Hello all,

If no one else wants to, I'm willing to take over TimeDate and stay on

I also have some extra bandwidth right now to get another release out

Hi all!

I am perfectly fine with Ryan here getting ownership on TimeDate instead of
me (or in addition).

Thanks Ryan for volunteering as well.


I just want to help if I can. Since you took the initiative to bring 
this issue to light, please don't let me interfere if you would prefer 
to have first-come, here.



P.S: Ryan, note that http://ry.ca/ (= your home site) gives me a 403 forbidden.
can you fix it?


Sorry about that. I'm retiring an old server, so DNS for ry.ca (not 
www.ry.ca) was temporarily wrong. Changes should be propagated by now.

Hello all,

If no one else wants to, I'm willing to take over TimeDate and stay on 
top of the issues going forward.


I also have some extra bandwidth right now to get another release out 
ASAP. I've tested the patch from RT and it does seem to do the trick.

Thanks for the update, Graham! So: does anyone else want ownership of TimeDate?

Hi all,

installing https://metacpan.org/release/TimeDate from CPAN while running
tests has become broken -
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=124509 . Its maintainer -
https://metacpan.org/author/GBARR didn't make a release of any of his
distros since July 2017 and had no github activity for at least a year -
https://github.com/gbarr . Graham, are you there?

I suggest making an emergency update release with the fix to the test file,
and if no one better volunteers instead, I volunteer to receive COMAINT on
all the TimeDate namespaces (see https://metacpan.org/release/TimeDate )
and fix bugs, apply patches, etc. I am https://metacpan.org/author/SHLOMIF
on CPAN.

Are there any better suggestions?
