Bug#866389: transition: perl 5.26
Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-perl@lists.debian.org
We'd like to get Perl 5.26 in sid/buster soonish.
As usual, we've done test rebuilds of packages build dependending on perl.
Things are looking pretty good. Known issues are at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.26-transition;users=debian-perl@lists.debian.org
and should be marked as blockers of this bug next.
We'll ping this bug when things are ready, but please let us know if
you have any preference about the timing.
It might be prudent to decouple the move to versioned Provides (see
#758100 and the thread at [1]) from the rest of the transition and do
it with 5.24 in sid first. I hope to have time for that next week.
