I have thought a bit more about this. I was hesitant as there are lots of packages involved, but thinking more about it, this should be pretty smooth. You add perlapi-5.18.2d to perl-base's Provides, but you won't remove perlapi-5.18.1 or perlapi-5.18.2. Then perl-base can migrate immediately, and all the rebuilds can migrate as well. Then after the rebuilds are done, you can remove perlapi-5.18.1 and perlapi-5.18.2 from Provides. > What do we do with packages that fail to build? Remove the old s390x > binaries from testing?
