SourceForge.net Deprecations
I am going to deprecate some projects on SourceForge.net. Starting with cpan-mac, because it is tools and modules that work with MacPerl for dealing with CPAN and modules, and they are all now included with MacPerl 5.6.1. I'll keep the distribution up, but won't do any more development on it. All new development goes into the one included with 5.6.1 and later.
Then there's modules, Mac::AppleEvents::Simple, Mac::OSA::Simple, Mac::Glue. I am torn as to what to do with them. I suppose I should keep Mac::Glue separate, because some people might want to use it with older MacPerl. Same with the others, though those are very seldom updated at all. I'll probably keep them separate for now. Hmmmm.
I need to update the licenses in them, in any event. Since I am including them in MacPerl, I'll want them to be AL+GPL (as Perl is), whereas now they are AL-only. Another few modules bite the dust ...
