Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905112 Bug ID: 905112 Summary: Update to metacpan.org instead of search.cpan.org Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: cpanspec Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Reporter: berrange@xxxxxxxxxx Description of problem: To quote: http://perlhacks.com/2013/01/give-me-metacpan/ "Ever since MetaCPAN launched I’ve been getting increasingly irritated with people who still use links to search.cpan.org. Isn’t it obvious that MetaCPAN is better? Why do people still insist on sharing links to the older site? Of course they do it for various reasons. Perhaps they aren’t as in touch with the modern Perl world as I am. Perhaps they are wary about changing to use the new shiny toys because they know that a newer shinier one will be along soon. Perhaps I’m reading a web page from five years ago and they can be forgiven for not linking to a site that didn’t exist at the time." Fedora can do its bit to help this, by making cpanspec use metacpan.org instead of search.cpan.org for newly generated specfiles. Once cpanspec is updated, a bulk search-replace on all existing Fedora Perl specs may be considered. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cpanspec-1.78-12.fc18.noarch How reproducible: N/A -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
