The old text was, in my opinion, difficult to read:
See License: field in Spec file guidance specific to Perl.
This patch makes it easier to understand:
See Licensing guidelines specific to Perl.
This section references a wiki page which does not exist, and there is
no way to do what the section is asking at package creation time. The
best I think someone could do is manually give perl-sig ticket
permissions on the repo after it is created. I checked several perl
packages created in the last couple of years and none of them have done
this, so I suspect this is just outdated.
The linkchecker tool was used to identify broken links in the generated
documentation. After running 'make && make serve' in one terminal,
linkchecker is run in another:
linkchecker --check-extern --user-agent="curl/7.61.1" \
--ignore-url="file:///antora/" \
--ignore-url="https://crates.io" \
--ignore-url="https://hosting-service/" \
http://0.0.0.0:8000/packaging-guidelines/
One broken link remains: the Perl SIG "New Package SCM Request" link.
This has no direct replacement (in the context of adding an 'initial-cc'
to bug reports), as far as I can tell. That text and link need to be
rewritten. In context:
New Perl packages should set the
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/perl-devel.lists.fedoraproject.org/[Fedora
Perl SIG mailing list] as a member of the initial-cc list for bugzilla.
This can be done by adding the user `+perl-sig+` to the initial CC list
when creating the link:Package_SCM_admin_requests#New_Packages[New Package
SCM Request].
We ignore https://crates.io because it behaves badly with non-browser
tools (refer to https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/788 for
details).
The --user-agent option is necessary to work around issues at sites like
drupal.org, which return a 403 when used with linkchecker's default
User-Agent header (LinkChecker/X.Y).
