  22       <div class="date">26th July 2011</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>The Norwegian <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</A>
  24 site is build on Debian/Squeeze, and this platform was chosen because
  25 I am most familiar with Debian (being a Debian Developer for around 10
  26 years) because it is the latest stable Debian release which should get
  27 security support for a few years.</p>
  28
  29 <p>The web service is written in Perl, and depend on some perl modules
  30 that are missing in Debian at the moment.  It would be great if these
  31 modules were added to the Debian archive, allowing anyone to set up
  32 their own <a href="http://www.fixmystreet.com">FixMyStreet</a> clone
  33 in their own country using only Debian packages.  The list of modules
  34 missing in Debian/Squeeze isn't very long, and I hope the perl group
  35 will find time to package the 12 modules Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI,
  36 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding, Catalyst::View::TT, Devel::Hide,
  37 Sort::Key, Statistics::Distributions, Template::Plugin::Comma,
  38 Template::Plugin::DateTime::Format, Term::Size::Any, Term::Size::Perl,
  39 URI::SmartURI and Web::Scraper to make the maintenance of FixMyStreet
  40 easier in the future.</p>
  41
  42 <p>Thanks to the great tools in Debian, getting the missing modules
  43 installed on my server was a simple call to 'cpan2deb Module::Name'
  44 and 'dpkg -i' to install the resulting package.  But this leave me
  45 with the responsibility of tracking security problems, which I really
  46 do not have time for.</p>
