Perl 5.12 transition approaching
Hi all,
As detailed on
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619117>
the transition to perl 5.12, beginning with the upload of 5.12.3 to
unstable, is almost upon us. There are quite a few blocking bugs
still though, as listed on that page. Of particular interest to
the Debian perl group are:
- libclone-fast-perl #615571
- libvideo-capture-v4l-perl #621466
- libdevice-cdio-perl #579450
- libgstreamer-perl #616454
- libsgml-parser-opensp-perl #613199
(although this is intermittent; it may not be a problem on the
buildds)
- libembperl-perl #624578
- libclutter-perl #620936
Not all of these are perl 5.12 specific bugs; but they are all now RC.
As a reminder, the list of bugs which are perl 5.12 specific is at:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.12-transition;users=debian-perl@lists.debian.org>
If anyone has any inspiration for how to fix any of the blocking bugs,
that would be welcomed. In any case, expect an upload of perl 5.12
to unstable soon.
Cheers,
Dominic.
