[intrigeri]

Hi,

at least I could call a method on a DateTime::Set object returned by
DateTime::Event::Sunrise->sunrise. I don't think it's worth it's worth
my time to check any further if the incompatibility of
DateTime::Event::Sunrise with some version of DateTime::Set is still
a thing 10 years later, especially given I could find no description
of what the actual problem is more precise than "not compatible".

Current popon: Inst = 56, Vote = 9.

Given what the current upstream maintainer explains on the Launchpad
bug report gregor pointed to (i.e. we're shipping "a module which was
just a proof of concept and which had an active life of just 4 days
before becoming obsolete. And this module is buggy."), I agree with
gregor that we should remove this package from the archive.

*If* the DateTime::Event::Sunrise issue is still a thing, then that's
a bug to be reported elsewhere. And if someone really wants to use
DateTime::Astro::Sunrise instead, then IMO they should step up and
maintain it upstream before we re-introduce it into the archive: it's
not pkg-perl's mission to become the de facto upstream maintainer for
obsolete developer releases from 14 years ago.

I'll request the removal right away.

Cheers,
