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

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.
This project serves as a repository for openQA installations

okurz: Up to 2021-09-29 this project included a link to the qemu package from openSUSE:Leap:15.1 (yes 15.1! even though we use 15.2 at the time of writing) which caused an old incompatible version of qemu 3 to be installed causing problems as reported in
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/98952
This project is used by pipelines on http://jenkins.qa.suse.de/ . In particular http://jenkins.qa.suse.de/job/trigger-openQA_in_openQA-TW/ that "releases" packages from devel:openQA into here and triggers openQA tests.
As workaround to manually trigger the testing+submission workflow ensure that no jenkins pipelines are running and no tests in https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/24, delete all packages in this project and trigger http://jenkins.qa.suse.de/job/trigger-openQA_in_openQA-TW/
