Once #487319 is fixed in lenny one way or another (see my other mail), my request still stands. To break this down a bit: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=perl&tag=pending Things I would really want in lenny: - 11 severity:important bugs: these should be easily justified - #480719 and #482110: small packaging bugs, could arguably be considered severity:important - #480428 (the LONG_MAX warnings, also #479610, #487025): the severity is probably too low, these warning messages are really annoying for our users and affect many packages - #479957 (the SEEK_SET warnings, also #482280): as above Documentation, no functionality changes: - #144193, #357663, #412542, #484681, #443733, #447830 Things we can live without if that makes it better: - Pod::Man update (#448204, #480997, #480565): I think the recommendation of the upstream author in #480997 to include this in lenny should weigh here because he (Russ Allbery) is a respected Debian Developer. - CGI.pm upload fix (#483144): we're going to have a separate libcgi-pm-perl package again with a newer upstream version, so this is not strictly necessary - #479540 (perl.h compilation warnings): cosmetics, but the fix is trivial - #417528 (Math::BigFloat): this would just be nice to have now that there's finally a fix, but it's been broken since sarge so it's certainly not critical Thanks, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
