Hi, I'd like to establish what's going to happen about packaging my CPAN
module Time::OlsonTZ::Data for OS distros. I'm writing to (as far as I
can tell) the current Debian and Fedora maintainers of DateTime::TimeZone
packages, and I'm CCing the relevant perl.org mailing list. We're now
getting close to replacing the current DateTime::TimeZone with a
rewrite that will use Time::OlsonTZ::Data as its source of Olson-derived
timezone data.
I only hope that "close" means summer or winter - not the busy periods.
This is a good question.
It's not like maintaining DT::TZ and updating it when there are new Olson
releases is a big hassle, so I don't mind doing it for a while.
I think it'd make sense for Zefram and I to agree on a specific cutover
date. Zefram has already released trial versions of DT::TZ with the new
code that distros can use for testing and building new packages against.
I'll suggest September 1 as the cutover date when Zefram will release
DateTime::TimeZone 2.00 using the new code base.
Does that seem reasonable?
