          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Opening this ticket in accordance with
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

and at the same time trying to find a decision on whether to mark cpan2rpm dead
in favour of cpanspec?

[...]

Bug 280991 (cpan2rpm misses dependency on ExtUtils::MakeMaker) was filed on
2007-09-06 for Fedora 7 and is still unfixed. No comment from package owner
Gavin Henry.

Bug 462832 (cpan2rpm doesn't work with latest Pod::Text) was filed on
2008-09-19 for Fedora 9, is related, and is still unfixed. No comment from
package owner Gavin Henry.

[...]

Package doesn't have any official Fedora co-maintainers listed.

perl-sig is subscribed to watchbugzilla/watchcommits only.

Upstream has not done a release since June 2005 and has not answered to the
upstream PR for bug 462823 that was filed in May 2007.

In both bz tickets it has been suggested (and also to me privately) to use
cpanspec instead.
