To those who supply Fedora yum install/update sites with Perl rpm pkgs: thank you!
I would like to learn how to do this so that I could contribute.
I know a little bit about cpan2rpm, I know a little bit about rpm; I'd like to learn more and contribute.
Could someone who knows, point me in the right direction?
There's more Perl packages that I'd like to be available on the Fedora yum mirrors...
Thanks, Ken Wolcott

Thank you!
Subscribed, read briefly, the wiki sections you suggested.
Looking forward to learning how to contribute to open source via Perl and Fedora as I think that (so far) is the most effective area for me to contribute.

Actually, it seems that Centos and Fedora use cpanspec rather than cpan2rpm.

You might find some of the missing ones in my RPM repo - http://rpm.mag-sol.com/

It would be useful if you push these into the official repo. If you need help, ask

I've discussed this possibility before. For reasons that I can't remember now it always seemed to be far more trouble than I wanted to put in it.
All the SRPMs are on my site. Feel free to do what you want with them. I'm happy with them where they are.
Cheers,

The process is fairly simple especially for Perl modules.

If you have an interest in it and it is something that helps with the job, then its a better personal incentive to continue maintaining it. If I pick it up and submit it, I don't have as much of a interest in it to continue maintaining it going forward. That's the only real difference

I'll have another look. But I seem to recall that there were some philosophical differences that meant that many of my RPMs wouldn't accepted by the Fedora project.
