At the end of my "Perl in RPM-Land" talk at YAPC::Europe, I sketched out an idea about automatically generating RPMs from CPAN modules. I fully expected people so tell me that I was talking nonsense, but it seems that a number of other people had been thinking along similar lines.
In order to carry on the discussion, I've set up a mailing list. Please subscribe if you're interested in this subject.
I've also submitted a talk to the London Perl Workshop to report on the project's progress. This is known as Conference Driven Development - I now need to ensure that we've made some kind of progress to prevent this presentation from being very embarrassing.
Is there going to be a pick list or something for people to choose modules to convert? Or is all that discussion happening on the list?

The plan is that there will be no need to choose as it will all Just Happen Automatically. Of course, there will be Interesting Problems to solve on the way
:-) But, yes, it's all still at the discussion stage. Feel free to join in if you have any interest in the subject.
