Perl modules in EPEL

[Steven Pritchard]

I've been trying again recently to get as many Perl module packages
built for EPEL as possible (so maybe we can finally have amavisd-new,
rt3, etc. available).  In case anyone else is interested, here's how
many Perl module packages are available for various releases (counting
source rpms, not including the perl package itself):

Fedora Core + Extras 3: 240
 Fedora Core + Extras 6: 736
 Fedora 7: 753
 Fedora 8: 776
 development: 783
 CentOS 4.5 + EPEL 4 + EPEL testing 4: 148
 CentOS 5.1 + EPEL 5 + EPEL testing 5: 256

(This is counting packages available on my local mirror, which may or
may not be completely current.)

Some more stats from the pkgdb:

790 packages in the pkgdb starting with perl-
a few of them are in EL5, so 734 remain

Those with "# of packages >= 5"

Fedora  EPEL  fasname
159     13    cweyl
158     83    spot
141     131   steve
70      18    rnorwood
48      0     corsepiu
25      14    pghmcfc
23      4     ixs
18      0     alexlan
15      1     iburrell
13      13    pertusus
13      12    sindrepb
11      11    orion
10      0     hardaker
9       9     ruben
5       4     mmcgrath
5       2     wtogami
5       0     abompard

The above table is not to blame anyone. But it shows some things:

* steve, you gets bonus points for having the most perl-packages in EPEL

* pertusus gets bonus points for having all his packages in both Fedora
and EPEL

* corsepiu owns a lot of perl-packages, but doesn't participate in EPEL
(he's listed on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusNo
), thus his package will only land in EPEL if someone else takes care of
them;

* abompard is also listed on ContributorStatusNo (quote: "feel free to
maintain my packages in EPEL")

* cweyl and rnorwood participate in EPEL, but own a lot of perl-*
packages which are not in EPEL.
