request for membership

Hi there!

Welcome aboard.

It's nice to see interest in jifty, as I know it's gaining popularity,
but the package itself seems to need some TLC.

I'd suggest joining irc.oftc.net channel #debian-perl if you haven't
already, and introducing yourself there. It can be a tremendous
resource for new packagers, and it's just nice to discuss things with
the other group members if need be.

Once again, welcome . I'm a newer member of the group but have
found that the support from the rest of the group is pretty great. If
there's anything you are confused about, please don't hesitate to
either e-mail me or the rest of the group... we're real friendly
people!

Cheers,

Jonathan

Yes, it was a misunderstanding on my part, in terms of what was
blocking the new upload. My apologies to Yves for the slander

Cool!

We just need someone to add him to SVN and he can start hacking away.

Carlos: One more thing I'm curious about, though... Aside from Jifty,
are there other packages you are interested in working on?

i can think of a couple of one-offs i would like to see in debian (eg,
Net::Identica), but they are more wishlist type. as i get the hang of things
i might get more ambitious

Some news about jifty.

debian:
As said Ryan52 on IRC. I'm waiting the update of libapp-cli-perl from
waldi. I send a mail to him and the list one month ago, open a bug few
weeks ago. Ryan tried to catch him on IRC. Maybe it's time to make a
NMU ?

Catalyst:
There's no fight between Catalyst and Jifty. A short resume can be :
Catalyst is fine for huge application than Jifty aims to provide lot of
pre-build modules and must be better for write quickly, some short
application. I already talked about that with Matt
My advise is : now, if you want to use existing DB, use Catalyst, if you
want a new DB consider using Jifty.

Now jifty start to become really stable and it's used in Request Tracker
4.0, so don't worry for its futur. Packaging RT4.0 will be easy.

I think there will be more work for debain packager with jifty plugins
in few weeks.

Cheers
