CPAN modules under version control
gabor listed in his journal some public version control systems and one question crossed my mind:
Wouldn't it be nice to have one central repository for "all" modules?
A system similar to RT or CPAN itself! Every author/maintainer can tick a checkbox in PAUSE whether the module should be loaded into a version control system. And the auther can grant access to the module to other authors.
This would have some advantages:

svn4cpan (Score:1)
Eric Wilhelm proposed such a thing as svn4cpan [scratchcomputing.com]. It's an ambitious project, but it's a great idea.
Implementation issues... (Score:1)
So many people work so differently (see the comments from MIYAGAWA in my post about opening mine) that what works for one person may not work for another.
I'm still just getting used to having an open repository, and I'm not sure how I'd do something larger yet...
Re:Implementation issues... (Score:1)
Some author (like me) just have a local installation of SVN or CVS, so one "public" server make it possible to "open the modules" to others.
You can't please everybody...
