1) Perl 5.8.7 final is expected in less than one week Source: 5.8.7 RC1 announcement in use.perl.org http://use.perl.org/articles/05/05/20/123238.shtml?tid=6&tid=16 2) regarding mod_perl 2.0.0 The perl package has been patched to include CGI.pm 3.10 (5.8.6-14). The final mod_perl 2.0.0 version is expected to be in FC4. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158354 if you can help test it 3) @INC pollution. Yes. There are still half a dozen perl modules last built with perl 5.8.5. #2 is not certain, rel-eng would need to approve it, and it is most likely they would reject it from FC4 final because it isn't release critical. If that is the case we will push it immediately as an update. #3 I don't consider this to be a problem. Perl 5.8.7 is out! http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7/ PerlDelta (from 5.8.6) http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7/pod/perl587delta.pod The main problem is that nothing has been uploaded to the CPAN master mirror for the last 24/36 hours. Not a huge problem, because we need to change many things and properly test the SRPM a bit before adding it to rawhide in order to avoid breaking things. Now is the time to put 5.8.7 into rawhide, although doing so may be a bit non-trivial because of all the custom patches we have in the SRPM now. Warren, neither in CVS nor in Rawhide is perl 5.8.7 (as of today); perl-3:5.8. 6-15 is currently the latest available version in CVS/Rawhide... https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list Please participate here and help jpo with fixing the package if you want it to happen sooner. jpo had it half done last I asked. Shouldn't we get this into rawhide before upgrading the other submissions in FC5? |
