While I've never had any issues at any point in the release cycle that I couldn't fix myself quickly and easily this point applies to any distribution or software release: Don't run testing/rc/beta code in production unless you've fully tested (including meaningful load testing) in an identical dev environment first. That's a no brainer. > Also, I've heard that patches similar to the one that caused > the recent > SSL heartaches are fairly endemic <unsubstantiated FUD snipped> To keep this back on track the debian-specific changes to Embperl fall into the following categories: 1) POD style fixes like adding =HEAD1 NAME sections 2) Additions to allow the package to be built against mod perl 1 or 2 3) Fixes to the tests when run under 5.10 4) Fixes to man pages to remove/recode invalid characters to make troff happy 5) Some architecture fixes I have no idea whether these changes have been presented upstream. The diffs are available from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libembperl-perl.
