in thread Looking for the maintainer of Sendmail::Milter.

Do you mean the name of the tarball?

Yes.

I've wandered around for days looking for an issue tracker for the development releases like there is for the full releases. Is there such a thing?

Yes, it's at https://rt.cpan.org/. You can raise issues against dev releases there just the same as prod releases.

The Kwalitee thing talks about META.yml or META.json but the tools create MYMETA.* instead. Do I just rename them?

No! Those are totally different - the MYMETA.* files are generated when the user installs the module. Do not distribute these. The META.* files should be generated by you when you roll the release and should be distributed. The make dist should handle this for you automatically - if not, check your Makefile.PL and/or MANIFEST. See the Module Meta-Data section of the EU::MM docs for more on this.

Are there alternative interfaces to this

Maybe, assuming you mean The Monastery. Although the normal interface at https://www.perlmonks.org/ is highly customisable if that's what you're after. See How do I change my preferences?

    • I've wandered around for days looking for an issue tracker for the development releases like there is for the full releases. Is there such a thing?

    I filed an issue there but it came up against Sendmail::PMilter-1.00 instead of the dev release as I intended.

    It's like I've escaped by parachute and landed in a maze.

    What did I do wrong?

      Do you mean this one? If so, it's in the right place. You just need to set the "broken in" to the dev version. At the moment the ticket doesn't refer to any particular version. In what way did it "came up against Sendmail::PMilter-1.00 instead of the dev release"?

      PS. If it isn't already clear, each RT queue relates to one dist, not any particular release. For example, have a look at the XML::LibXML queue. There you will see tickets raised against various versions. HTH.

        • Do you mean this one? If so, it's in the right place.

        Yes, that's the one. I'm glad it's in the right place. :)

        • In what way did it "came up against Sendmail::PMilter-1.00 instead of the dev release"?

        I mean that the only way I've found of getting to that list of issues is by going to https://metacpan.org/release/Sendmail-PMilter -- which shows Sendmail::PMilter version 1.00 (nothing that I can see about any version 1.20_01 anywhere) and then clicking the 'issues' link on that page. I haven't found a way of showing a page that even mentions that there's a development release called 1.20_01 that anybody might want to look at.

        • You just need to set the "broken in" to the dev version.

        "Just." :) I've been trying to find a way to do that for an hour. I know there is a way because I stumbled upon it a few days ago and set the 'fixed in' versions to 1.20_01 for all the outstanding issues for 1.00. Unfortunately I didn't mark the path on my screen with a Chinagraph so I'm lost again.

        • If it isn't already clear, each RT queue relates to one dist, not any particular release.

        No it wasn't clear, thanks for the clarification.

        How would I even know that there's a development release if I hadn't written it and uploaded it myself?
