Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
We'd like to have Perl 5.24 in stretch.
Packages have been in experimental since May, and we've been doing
test rebuilds with those. Issues are tracked with the usertag
debian-p...@lists.debian.org / perl-5.24-transition and can be seen at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.24-transition;users=debian-p...@lists.debian.org
The worst blockers are currently libdata-alias-perl (#825011) and net-snmp
(#825014), and there are still a few other build failures with fewer
reverse dependencies. I'll mark this bug as blocked by those soon.
There are no major packaging changes with 5.24, but this is the first
time that the new libperl package (libperl5.24) is coinstallable with
the older one (libperl5.22). Some upgrade testing is still needed,
but we do not expect this to cause trouble.
To make testing easier, we are making our rebuilt binary packages
available and updating them automatically when there are new sid
uploads. These rebuilt binary packages are compatible with perl_5.24.0-1
in experimental, and we do not expect any further ABI changes or the
like. Please see <http://perl.debian.net/> for instructions, and note
that these should be only used on throwaway test systems.
Help with upgrade testing would be very welcome, hence copying the
debian-perl list. Greetings from DebConf16 in sunny Cape Town!

In the end linux wasn't a problem because it depends on libperl, not on perlabi,
and libperl are now co-installable with each other.
There were a couple of problems with testing migration (basically britney not
figuring out the right thing to do) and I had to use a small hammer, but
everything went in earlier today.
Great job everyone!
Cheers,
Emilio
