Heya all, Module::Install::RTx recently started providing requires_rt() and rt_too_new() functions, and placeing that data in META.yml. This means that there is now enough rope to auto-generate the extension list: https://bestpractical.com/rt/extensions.html If you have a published extension that you'd like listed there, please make sure that it contains RT version metadata. The most straightforward way is to update to the latest Module::Install::RTx; it will default to announcing compatibility with RT 4.0 and 4.2. If there's a different minimum version your extension requires, you can specify that via adding, in your Makefile.PL: requires_rt '4.0.9'; If your extension doesn't work on RT 4.2, or isn't applicable there, don't forget to add: rt_too_new '4.2.0'; While we don't promise that every RT extension will be listed on the Extensions page, having metadata announcing compatibility with RT 4.0 will be a lower threshold for such. - Alex
