    From gregor herrmann@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 15 00:00:02 2022
    (Unofficial) Debian Perl Sprint 2022
    ====================================

    Introduction
    ------------

    3 members of the Debian Perl Group met in Hamburg between May 23 and May 30 2022 as part of the [Debian Reunion Hamburg] and conducted an "unofficial" sprint, i.e. worked on our packages and tools without prior announcement and planning.

    The participants would like to thank the [Debian Reunion Hamburg] organizers for providing the framework for our sprint, all sponsors of the event, and
    all donors to the Debian project who helped to cover parts of our expenses.

    This looks like a lot of great work was achieved at the sprint - I
    will have to investigate the dpt and dh-make-perl improvements over
    the coming weeks.

    Cheers,
    Nick

    Indeed; it's always surprising how much happens when you put some
    geeks together at an event :)

    the coming weeks.

    Great -- one of my intentions when writing this small report was to
    draw the attention of our peers to excatly these new tooling
    improvements.


    Cheers,
    gregor
