Bug#603116: RFP: libx11-xcb-perl -- perl bindings for libxcb
Hi everybody, Excerpts from gregor herrmann's message of 2010-11-11 23:18:09 +0100: Definitely! Michael, would you like to join the Debian Perl Group, so we can work together on the packaging? Sure, I already have an account on alioth and will send the mail to debian-perl in a few minutes. Best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Oh, I didn't know that. Nice! Anyway, a preliminary package is available in the pkg-perl svn repo. My bad. I found the following out just after I wrote the RFP: The upstream author who is also maintainer of some Debian packages, also works on packaging for it. (He told me on IRC.) Some beginning is already in the git repo at http://code.stapelberg.de/git/X11-XCB/tree/debian I send him some patches against his packaging which are needed to get it to build at least (missing B-D, etc.) Ok. - (fun with missing parts in META.yml and half-baked POD) - a botched test - tests fail with xvfb and pass without only because most of them are skipped due to a missing connection to the xserver (in my cowbuilder chroot) Hey, that sounds like more than Michael did on packaging. :) Michael, Gregor: Please merge your packaging efforts! :-) Definitely! Michael, would you like to join the Debian Perl Group, so we can work together on the packaging? Info at http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/Welcome My package is in our svn repo at Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-perl/trunk/libx11-xcb-perl/ Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libx11-xcb-perl/ (Including two patches.) If you nevertheless feel like uploading, I suggest to target experimental for the time being. I'll wait for Michael's first release anyway, but will continue to test it then and when. Great. BTW: I basically plan to use that as replacement for the buggy and removed nawm (Not A Window Manager, http://packages.debian.org/nawm). Nice. Sorry again for not updating this RFP earlier. No problem.
