  • I said some of the same things in "SourceForge vs. CPAN" in TPJ, Sept. 2002.

    In summary: you can't escape CPAN for distribution, SourceForge offers a lot of good services, and SourceForge needs to be completely reimplemented to get rid of its dependence on web browsers.

    Module::Release does both at the same time---upload to both and release on both simultaneously.
    • Well, I never looked but I assumed that GForge had an API that let you do everything programmatically that you can do via a web interface. Is that not so? If not, I can see where there would be a problem.

      I'd still prefer a PerlForge to just using vanilla SourceForge. For starters I have always thought SF's FRS was both bizarre and dumb. Also, SF seems to have a lot of downtime lately. And, like I mentioned, you could taylor it for Perl users.

      • I use both too. For my projects [sf.net], I use SF.net for web space, distribution, and CVS. I use rt.cpan.org for bug reports. I stole some of bdf's ideas and use his release script (now Module::Release) for it all. I add a simple web page [pudge.net] pulling it all together.
