I've tested the packages which were blocked by libapache2-mod-perl2
today, and filed two new bug reports, against libembperl-perl[1] and
libapache-gallery-perl[2]. The former unfortunately has a history of
breaking with new perl releases and fixes may not be forthcoming;
it also has a low and diminishing popcon, so I think at this stage we
should not let it block our transition.
The latter is a trivial fix (and does not block the transition as
it's an arch:all package); I expect it will be fixed either by the
maintainer, or by NMU, soon.
I will try some real world testing with the new libapache2-mod-perl2
package in sid/perl 5.20 later this week, and then I think we can plan
to go ahead with the transition after that - as soon as this weekend
if other ongoing transitions allow?
Cheers,
Dominic.
