no travel sponsorship required for privacy reasons, but food sponsorship required instead (fair enough?) - no accommodation sponsorship required either |

Accommodation
There are two residence halls linked to the venue:
Pere Felip Monlau near the city centre, at 32€ per night.
Torre Girona near the venue, at 45€ per night.
But there are many other options that could work for 6 people and ~50€ per night: apartments, hostels, etc.
An apartment for 6 has been reserved for 4 nights from Thursday. Details of picking up the keys tbc with alexm and those arriving on Thursday
Agenda
(tentative/final agenda here before/after the sprint)
Based on pkg-perl tasks.
General goals
- Kick off the stretch development for pkg-perl.
- QA work across our 3000+ packages.
Topics
(Or better: potential topics or topics to pick from, and work can continue at (the sprint at) DebCamp.)
- Patches and git: explore, discuss, maybe decide on other ways than quilt (e.g. git-debcherry).
- Preparation for Perl 5.22.
- Decide about packages with RC bugs / file RM bugs.
- Dual-lived modules: update alternative dependencies, explicitly depend on modules which are deprecated or removed from perl core, discuss/implement versioned provides.
- Unify our debian/watch files, esp. all the variants how uversionmangle is used.
- Switch repackaging framework from repack.{stub,local,sh} to uscan's Files-Excluded.
- Change remaining /usr/lib/perl5 occurences (lintian-overrides, doc-base files, ...).
- Check all libapp-*-perl (and potentially other) packages for real applications whose (binary) packages should rather be named foo instead of libapp-foo-perl.
- Add/check autopkgtests to all packages.
- Fix reproducible build issues.
- dh-make-perl bug fixing.
