Re: Bootstrapping Sparc64: Outdated, but required perl module packages? (Perl 5.14 vs 5.18)



Hi Frans,

thanks for looking into this issue.

Sure, Perl is 5.18 in the repo, but not all necessary packages have
been rebuilt for 5.18:

>From that page:

dep: perl-base (>= 5.14.2-3) [sparc64]
dep: perl-base (>= 5.18.1-2) [nicht sparc64, …]

dep: perlapi-5.14.2 [sparc64, …] virtuelles Paket, bereitgestellt durch perl-base 
dep: perlapi-5.18.1 [nicht sparc64, …] virtuelles Paket, bereitgestellt durch perl-base

So it clearly states that liblocale-gettext-perl on sparc64 is out of
date with regards to the Perl.

Same issue here.

So who can schedule BinNMUs for sparc64? Because that's what would
help.

Or can I cross-compile stuff for sparc64 on sparc?

That's ok. I just thought it may help to install Stable and then
dist-upgrade to unstable to workaround this issue.
