Control: retitle -1 libmousex-types-perl: inactive upstream, uses deprecated Any::Moose
Apart of the Any::Moose indicator: last upstream commit was 9 years ago, tiny popcon, most reverse dependencies on CPAN have not been updated since 5+ years. The Mouse ecosystem is essentially on life-support as the community has been adopting other, better maintained OO frameworks. I'd rather encourage our users to use one of those other OO frameworks instead of having to choose among many of them. At this point, to me this smells like a candidate for removal. The reverse dependency chain looks like this: libmousex-types-perl ← libmousex-types-path-class-perl, ← libmousex-configfromfile-perl, ← libmousex-getopt-perl EOF The last app we had which used the latter (libmousex-getopt-perl), i.e. libbot-training-perl, has been migrated away from Mouse a while ago; I just dropped the obsolete dependency we still (mistakenly) had on libmouse* there, and uploaded it. I'll file rm-candidate proposal bugs against libmousex-types-path-class-perl, libmousex-configfromfile-perl, and libmousex-getopt-perl. So I think the main blocker for removal here is that libany-moose-perl and libtype-tiny-perl build-depend on libmousex-types-perl, because Mouse is one of the several OO frameworks they support, and they have tests that exercise said support. I did not check how these tests would behave if MouseX::Types was not available at build time. Investigation to be continued! :) OTOH, as long as it keeps kind-of-working and we did not reach the point when it's realistic to remove Any::Moose, I suppose it's OK to keep libmousex-types-perl in the archive for a while.
