Hi dear Pause Admin, I would like to let you know that TimeDate test suite is 
still breaking several continuous integration smokers…

Waiting for your answer to get permissions to release a fix for this module, 
I’ve setup my GitHub clone with the following:
- add GitHub actions to smoke every commits on linux, mac, windows
As shown here, you can see that the test suite is now fixed on my master 
branch...
https://github.com/atoomic/perl-TimeDate/actions 

- migrate RT tickets to my GitHub clone and advertise it as the main bug tracker
- rebase a few pending PR from the original GitHub repo 
https://github.com/atoomic/perl-TimeDate/issues 


Once I’ve primary maintenance for the Module, I will release to CPAN a patched 
release..
I will be glad to also give permissions to Shlomi to contribute to the project.

I think at this point what everyone is expecting is to have a new release 
submitted fixing the existing issue.

This is already a problem for more than two weeks, let’s not wait much more to 
fix it...

Waiting for your answer.

I was also asking Graham to help him releasing the module,
and I would appreciate to have co-maint on the module too 
this would limit such issues in the future.

Hi all!

Can a CPAN admin please take action for that already? TimeDate has
become the left-pad of CPAN:

Sorry about that. I'm retiring an old server, so DNS for ry.ca (not

What to do about the fact that installing https://metacpan.org/release/TimeDate became broken after 1 Jan 2020 ?

[Shlomi Fish]

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?
