--- Comment #69 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- I decided to take another look at CPAN to see how you can take over a module on CPAN without the maintainer's permission... On https://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html the relevant sections appear to be "How do I go about maintaining a module when the author is unresponsive?" and "How do I adopt or take over a module already on CPAN?". If we want to adopt the module, we'll want 1 person to make contact with the PAUSE admins. It might be best if this is Chris Cormack since I think he's the one who has been trying to contact Srdjan. He'd probably be able to make the most compelling case. In the meantime, CPAN suggests: "If you need changes made immediately, consider applying your patches to the current module, changing the version and requiring that version for your application. Eventually the author will turn up and apply your patches, offer you maintenance of the module or, if the author doesn't respond in a year, you may get maintenance by having interest." Or "If you need changes in order for another module or application to work, consider making the needed changes and bundling the new version with your own distribution and noting the change well in the documentation. Do not upload the new version under the same namespace to CPAN until the matter has been resolved with the author or CPAN." I think the latter is probably more likely and reflects what I was saying above? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
