Hi all

Are there any objections to already document the change from
search.cpan.org to metacpan.org in our Perl policy? I propose the
attaced patch so that it might be used already for new packages.

Regards,
Salvatore

Not from me, I've been thinking about this for some time :)

The patch looks good too to me.

Cheers

Looks good, thank you.

(I guess we will find some other places where this needs to be
changed; I already saw a commit of you for something on the website
:))

Thanks. I will wait some days to see if someone disagree to have that
commited during the freeze. Then push it.

Yes, there are e.g. also scripts. Was already working e.g. on
forward-bug and forward-patch scripts.

Do they need any change? IIRC they just use CPAN's RT which should be
independent of the search/presentation URL.

forward-bug and forward-patch at least for extracting the distribution
name.

I have commited a small change to have them working both with
search.cpan.org as also metacpan.org.

For submitting the bug/patch to the RT afaics there is no change
needed.
