* Lars Wendler <polynomia...@gentoo.org>: > perl-5.10 is out since end of 2007 [1] and we still don't have it in our main
This is the problem. To add 5.10.0 now you have to review 1.5 years of patches. http://git.debian.org/?p=perl/perl.git;a=heads http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/perl/ ... I am sure there is at least one security related patch missing in the perl-experimental package. OTOH: 5.10.1 is expected soon. A first release candidate was scheduled for this weekend. Well, once the "...plan was to have 5.10.1 out by the end of the year...." That was last year and the point where i stopped spending time on packaging 5.10.0. Looking back after 9 month, this was probably not the best decision. I don't expect to find many problems within other packages. What needs to be done: - Find maintainers. - Fix our patchset: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/perl5-packaging.git;a=summary - Fix perl-cleaner and test the upgrade path: http://github.com/tove/perl-cleaner/tree
