Re: [outreachy] libtfbs-perl uploaded what about libgo-perl

Hi Andreas,
OK, I just wanted to write you about it:)
I also made small fix in proftmb and metastudent - turned on allow-stderr restriction (both packaged failed in Debian CI server because of pp-popularity-contest warning message output to stderr), they also worth uploading.

You should also upload profbval (I've made changes after last upload, but mention them in changelog in wrong place - now this is fixed).

I'll fix spelling warnings in libgo perl then.

BTW, can you remember any details regarding this problem with profphd (citation from upstream's ChangeLog file):
"

profphd (1.0.42) unstable; urgency=low

* Make prof work with Debian Jessie by requiring perlbrew package
    and have it install independent perl v5.10 instance. $[ has been
    moved from perl core >=5.16.0 into arybase, and does not produce
    the same side effects as in previous perl versions, therefore
    breaking prof when run using perl v5.20 in Jessie.

What exactly side effect does he mean? And what erratic behaviour? If you don't know, I'll check RostLab's bugs page, write to upstream contacts (via all possible ways, since it doesn't look like they answer emails fast) and try to fix.

For now it seems unclear from arybase description (http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.17.1/ext/arybase/arybase.pm#HISTORY), what exact "side effect" they use. I tried to update package's supported perl version on PC (since I haven't figure out yet how to make autopkgtest use perlbrew correctly), and it seemed to work - when I run predictprotein with that patched version installed, I had no warning messages or errors, yay! But probably no errors were shown because I used small portion of BLASTP database, and some code portions were not used... Any details on that issue will help :)
