-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've set up the perl packages to be accessed using apt-get on my servers. You can of course also grab them via ftp or http.
I'd like to get 3 positive reports. Once I do, I'll announce it on debian-devel. Hopefully more people will try it. Two days after that I'll upload it to master. I was impressed 115 packages depended on perl including ssh... Here's the contact info: http://www.daft.com/pub/debian/experimental/ ftp://ftp.daft.com/pub/debian/experimental/ and I have the following in the sources.list of my test machines: deb http://www.daft.com/pub/debian/experimental ./ # deb-src http://www.daft.com/pub/debian/experimental ./ The deb-src doesn't work yet since I don't know how to make the Sources file. - From the README, here's the current task list for 0.9: 1) Fix bugs: a) find2perl is only available as a versioned script, use update-alternatives on it. b) The symlinks in /usr/doc for the fake packages are showing up as real directories (see my post on debian-devel) c) Aborting the installation of perl-5.005-base doesn't stop the unpacking of perl-5.005 and friends. (See my post on debian-devel) d) perl.1p.gz didn't have an update-alternatives --remove in the prerm. 3) Fix up the doc package a) Install the new Perl Policy Paper from Raphael. b) Hopefully this includes registering with doc-base but I don't promise anything 4) Install rename as a command.
