in thread Looking for the maintainer of Sendmail::Milter.

Thanks once again for your very helpful responses.

Short of constructing the link manually in the browser's location bar, how would I be expected to navigate to https://cpants.cpanauthors.org/release/GWHAYWOOD/sendmail-pmilter-1.20_01 ? Is there a page somewhere with a link to that page?

The test matrix looks good, it was about the only thing that had made any sense to me so far.

I'd seen the "test coverage" link but it made no sense to me.
I'm beginning to think it tells me which statements in the released modules get exercised by the tests in t/, is that right?
Where is it documented?

I'll take a longer look at Perl::Critic, but at first glance it seems more a style thing than what I'd call "quality".

Some specific points:

Thanks again. I'll be back, I guess. :)

    Do you mean the name of the tarball?

    Yes.

    I've wandered around for days looking for an issue tracker for the development releases like there is for the full releases. Is there such a thing?

    Yes, it's at https://rt.cpan.org/. You can raise issues against dev releases there just the same as prod releases.

    The Kwalitee thing talks about META.yml or META.json but the tools create MYMETA.* instead. Do I just rename them?

    No! Those are totally different - the MYMETA.* files are generated when the user installs the module. Do not distribute these. The META.* files should be generated by you when you roll the release and should be distributed. The make dist should handle this for you automatically - if not, check your Makefile.PL and/or MANIFEST. See the Module Meta-Data section of the EU::MM docs for more on this.

    Are there alternative interfaces to this

    Maybe, assuming you mean The Monastery. Although the normal interface at https://www.perlmonks.org/ is highly customisable if that's what you're after. See How do I change my preferences?

      I filed an issue there but it came up against Sendmail::PMilter-1.00 instead of the dev release as I intended.

      It's like I've escaped by parachute and landed in a maze.

      What did I do wrong?

        Do you mean this one? If so, it's in the right place. You just need to set the "broken in" to the dev version. At the moment the ticket doesn't refer to any particular version. In what way did it "came up against Sendmail::PMilter-1.00 instead of the dev release"?

        PS. If it isn't already clear, each RT queue relates to one dist, not any particular release. For example, have a look at the XML::LibXML queue. There you will see tickets raised against various versions. HTH.
