| @qbit:tapenet.org | Yay zonemaster! | 02:50:39 |
|  greaka changed their display name from greaka ⚡️ to greaka . | 09:25:58 |
| stigo | Hm found one obvious place that needs cert verification https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-client/pull/113 | 20:50:45 |
| stigo | * Hm found one obvious place upstream that needs cert verification https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-client/pull/113 | 20:51:00 |
| stigo | Hope that perl upstream will consider patching it in | 20:51:16 |

| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | TIL about backpan | 09:55:02 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | I think I'll quit computers if I have to manually scrape metacpan one more time for licenses | 09:55:18 |
| stigo | :D | 10:36:39 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | also you were right, stig. 95% of the packages use perl5 licensing | 10:36:56 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | (If only they made that fact clear!) | 10:37:11 |
| stigo | I think most authors don't really care that much about being specific about it tbh. | 10:37:44 |
| stigo | You'll find some text string usually in the POD saying something about it being artistic2, or not. | 10:38:30 |
| stigo | Was the metacpan api any help? | 10:38:49 |

I think most authors don't really care that much about being specific about it tbh. Ask the Crypt::Blowfish people | 10:39:40 |

You'll find some text string usually in the POD saying something about it being artistic2, or not. Well either in the cpan metadata, the readme, a COPYING file, a LICENSE file, some .pm file or some .xs file | 10:40:07 |
| stigo | lol, nice license | 10:40:10 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | In reply to @stigo:matrix.org
Was the metacpan api any help? For everything except a lot of licenses as maintainers often use "unspecified" insted of "perl_5" | 10:40:42 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | for some reason my script exploded and ignored a lot of packages which is why I had to do manual work afterwards :/ | 10:41:01 |
| stigo | Nicely done though, good to have it cleaned up :) | 10:41:43 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | but I had a lot of fun reading the descriptions | 10:41:49 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | things like Lets your class/object say it works like something else really explain perl's general reputation | 10:42:23 |
| stigo | Well, there is a lot less "conformity" in Perl and a longer history than most repos. | 10:43:18 |
| stigo | So you'll find quite a bit of weird stuff | 10:43:37 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | Yeah, it was a wild ride | 10:43:47 |
| stigo | I can imagine | 10:43:52 |
| stigo | This repo is also useful if you want to grep trough, or otherwise process, the source of all latest modules: https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-cpan-extracted | 10:45:05 |
