Subject: no mention of a repository in the dist anywhere
This makes it rather hard for people provide patches.

Indeed. We'll add the information soon. In the meantime: <http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Cairo/>.

I've put out a RFC on an updated README file that adds this information. You can read about the RFC and the proposed changes here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2012-March/msg00029.html I'll leave this ticket open until I generate a new release of Cairo with the updated README file. Thanks, Brian

That looks pretty good. In fact, i wish all cpan dists had a readme like that. :) As an additional suggestion you may want to add that to the Makefile.PL so the generated META files contain the information and allow metacpan and sco to link to the repos in question.

That's being worked out in a different github branch [1], but I'm not ready to announce it to everyone yet, as it's not working like I want it to/expect it to. Thanks, Brian [1] https://github.com/spicyjack/perl-Cairo-GObject/tree/cpan-meta

This ticket is resolved. In the Cairo release version 1.100, the README file now has full contact information, including e-mail address, web page, patch submission guidelines, git repo guidelines. The Cairo distro also now also outputs complete META.[yml|json] files courtesy of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and CPAN::Meta::Spec.
