Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-perl@lists.debian.org Hello, This is a tracking bug for the planned transition to perl 5.22. We would like this to be considered for sometime after the gcc-5 transition, and expect to be mostly ready to go within the next few weeks. The current stats for this transition are as follows: * Number of binNMUs needed: 571[1] * Number of arch:any packages which FTBFS with perl 5.22: 9 * 1 fix in DELAYED; 2 mostly fixed but awaiting upload; 6 needing more work or removal. * The most significant problem at the moment is libapache2-mod-perl2, where upstream have not yet provided support for perl 5.22 (help welcome: #787493). For most of the others[2] removal is a plausible option. * Number of arch:all packages which FTBFS with perl 5.22: approx 60[3] * We obviously need to get this number down; most of them are fairly straightforward changes that the pkg-perl will hopefully be able to help with (either because they are team maintained, or via NMUs) * I am still waiting for the results of another mass-rebuild, and to retest some corner cases, so a few new bugs may still be reported, but we now have the vast majority of them The version of perl we expect to upload to unstable will differ from that currently in experimental (5.22.0-2) in including (hopefully) changes which will make the package fully reproducible, as well as a few other minor fixes. We don't expect these changes to reveal any further compatibility issues. It's also just possible that perl 5.22.1 will be released before we go ahead with the transition (it's currently scheduled for some time in September) in which case it would be better to use that for the transition. The other change worth mentioning is the introduction of a revised package layout (option 'S' in [4]). We will send a mail out to debian-devel prior to the transition starting, explaining this and other general information. Hopefully I've covered everything I need to at this point, but just let me now if anything needs clarifying.
