Which version of Error - reproducing the 0.17019 shipped in 64-bit cygwin, or the latest 0.17022 available upstream? I guess I should come out and state this: I have no vested interest in maintaining the perl-Error package. It is my only 'inherit perl' package, and I originally packaged as a pre-requisite of being able to package git; but now that someone else is planning on adopting git (although the progress on that front has been glacially slow), I'm more than willing to put perl-Error up for adoption for anyone else to manage, that is more likely to know how to resolve the issues that I ran into. Is this something you'd like to adopt? -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
