Hi everyone, I’ve uploaded perl 5.12 and the first batch of its reverse dependencies (everything in Priority: required), more will follow. But from what I’ve read this is going to be some 400 packages (ok, most of them are probab- ly arch:all)… so if anyone wants to help out, do it NOW. (This is a good job for a “real” buildd, complete with wanna-build and all. I think, the wanna-build database is even being filled in with info from the Perl and RM teams as we speak… remember I didn’t manage to get a buildd set up, so… here’s your chance ☺)
I’m working on eglibc and python 2.6, 2.7 _and_ 3.2 in the meanwhile, plus there was that GNAT thing (although the “ball” is now in the hands of the GCC/GNAT developers)… and I’m waiting for uploads of linux-2.6 (first to have our patches in the standard package), openldap and cyrus- sasl2 (fix FTBFS to get the db and openssl transitions done), etc. The good thing, though, is: Priority: required + Build-Essential: yes ⇒ almost 100% up to date ⇒ eglibc and kernel transitioning to unstable from unreleased now Priority: important ⇒ up to date except udev and vim, which are installable but cannot easily be rebuilt, without building most of GNOME that is, and I said I won’t tackle X11 (while using /dev/brain as dependency resolution algorithm) Priority: standard ⇒ almost everything up to date, too; exceptions: • openldap, cyrus-sasl2, krb5 • their reverse dependencies • stuff being worked on (Perl, Python, …) • failing stuff (w3m) I’ve even NMU’d some packages to unstable to get them built faster; db4.7 is now gone from my “set of packages” and db4.8 is only still needed by Python; things look equally good for OpenSSL. bye, //mirabilos -- 15:41⎜<Lo-lan-do:#fusionforge> Somebody write a testsuite for helloworld :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
