Update 2/21/2021:
Updated information about the future of rt.cpan.org can be found at https://news.perlfoundation.org/post/rt-cpan-org-future
Update 2020-12-13:
rt.cpan.org will be sunset on March 1st, 2021 due to low and declining use.
Back when we started this service, it filled a need by providing a place for CPAN authors to track bug reports and feature requests. In recent years github.com and other sites have added issue tracking to their git repo hosting and many CPAN authors have migrated to these sites.If you are a CPAN author, there are several tools to help you migrate existing tickets:
- https://github.com/dagolden/zzz-rt-to-github
- https://github.com/houseabsolute/RTx-ToGitHub
See Dave Cross' Plan for CPAN Authors, which describes steps you may wish to take to transition to a new bug tracking system.We're still finalizing the details, but the plan is to provide a static historical archive.
This post will be updated as we figure things out.
