Review Request: perl-Alien-libmaxminddb and perl-IP-Geolocation-MMDB

[Andreas Vögele]

Hello Perl team,

I've created review requests for two of my Perl distributions:

* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2072968
Alien::libmaxminddb provides the C library libmaxminddb to other Perl 
modules.

* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2072972
IP::Geolocation::MMDB reads MaxMind DB files and maps IP addresses to 
location information such as country and city names. The module is an 
alternative to the deprecated MaxMind::DB::Reader module.

These are my first Fedora packages. I am the upstream author of both 
modules. I am looking for a sponsor.

There are broken links at the bottom of 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl?rd=Packaging/Perl to the 
"Fedora Perl SIG mailing list" with uppercase "Perl-devel". Can somebody 
with editing permissions fix these links?

I've created my requests via the review form 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&format.... 
Is there a keyword for initial CCs that can be added to this form?

Kind regards,
Andreas

Great. I hope some of the Perl maintainers will help you with the review.
Unfortunately, I believe that none of them have a permission to sponsor new
packagers. Your packages can be used for the sponsoring, but you will need to
find someone else who can do sponsoring. A list of sponsors should be visible
in Fedora Account system, under sponsors section of "packager" group
https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/group/packager/.

Thanks for the report. The Wiki page is obsolete and should have been
redirected to a new location
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Perl/. I filed
a request to people permitted to edit the Wiki page to do it
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1167.

I think an address of this mailing list can be added to CC of a particular
review.
