Involved Projects and Packages

++++++++++ Note: We are going to change the version format of the modules. See https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/issues/47 for context ++++++++++

++++++++++ Note 2: Packages are maintained under git as of 2025-08-13:
https://src.opensuse.org/perl
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OBS_to_Git ++++++++++

Perl and a large number of important perl modules and tools.

Module updates from CPAN are regularly checked (with scripts from https://github.com/openSUSE/autoupdate-perl and https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec ) and put into https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate .

Please check https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate first before doing your own update! An updated version of the module might already be there, just that there is no submit request yet.

How to submit a new module here: https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/wiki/Submit-a-new-Perl-module-to-openSUSE

The updates here are generated via a daily Github Workflow from https://github.com/openSUSE/autoupdate-perl .
To generate the spec https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec is used.

Then someone has to manually go over the updates and create submit reqests to devel:languages:perl (currently usually done by @tinita).
That last step is currently not automated because too many modules need manual handling (fixing license, dependencies, description etc.)

If you see a failing module, you can branch it from here and try to fix it.

to quote wikipedia:
Software Configuration Management (SCM) is part of configuration management (CM). Roger Pressman (in his book) Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach, says that software configuration management (SCM) is a "set of activities designed to control change by identifying the work products that are likely to change, establishing relationships among them, defining mechanisms for managing different versions of these work products, controlling the changes imposed, and auditing and reporting on the changes made." In other words, SCM is a methodology to control and manage a software development project.

SCM concerns itself with answering the question: somebody did something, how can one reproduce it? Often the problem involves not reproducing "it" identically, but with controlled, incremental changes. Answering the question will thus become a matter of comparing different results and of analysing their differences. Traditional CM typically focused on controlled creation of relatively simple products. Nowadays, implementers of SCM face the challenge of dealing with relatively minor increments under their own control, in the context of the complex system being developed.

Trac is a minimalistic web-based software project management and bug/issue tracking system. It provides an interface to the Subversion revision control systems, an integrated wiki, flexible issue tracking and convenient report facilities.

The AccountManagerPlugin offers several features for managing user accounts:

* allow users to register new accounts
* login via an HTML form instead of using HTTP authentication
* allow existing users to change their passwords or delete their accounts
* send a new password to users who’ve forgotten their password
* administration of user accounts

AdvancedTicketWorkflowPlugin provides a number of advanced operations for customizable workflows that are similar to the operations provided in the customizeable workflow of the core system.

Currently provided operations are:

* set_owner_to_reporter
* set_owner_to_component_owner
* set_owner_to_field
* set_owner_to_previous
* set_status_to_previous
* reset_milestone
* run_external
* triage
* xref

This plugin provides a more helpful experience in the editing of a Trac ticket's CC field than the standard Trac core's functionality. A pop-up window with a list of checkboxes is opened. The user can then check/uncheck boxes, and email addresses are added to or removed from the CC field as needed.

This plugin allows you to embed foldable structures in wiki pages, in the style of the Trac ticket attachments foldable structure. The plugin utilizes two macros: one to denote the start of a foldable structure, and one to denote the end of the structure. Foldable text supports WikiFormatting and nested folds, so long as spacing is accomplished by the former.

This plugin uses the configuration option API in Trac to allow modification of any field exposed through this mechanism.
