Hi Adam, Dominic covered this nicely, but in case you want all the details: I've put full debdiffs of a proposed 5.14.3-1 available on http://people.debian.org/~ntyni/perl/perl_5.14.2-14_5.14.3-1.debdiff http://people.debian.org/~ntyni/perl/perl_5.14.2-15_5.14.3-1.debdiff One is against the current sid/wheezy version (5.14.2-14) and the other against the acked 5.14.2-15. There's some unfortunate churn in debian/patches due to the tool we're using to prepare them (git-dpm), sorry about that. These are based on the ntyni/debian-5.14.3 branch of git://anonscm.debian.org/perl/perl.git Hope this helps a bit. > +perl (5.14.2-15) UNRELEASED; urgency=low > These look fine; thanks. Thank you for the review! As things are, I'm not proceeding with this 5.14.2-15 until you've reached a decision about 5.14.3. However, please let us know if you'd like to decouple the issues and we'll get -15 in sid right away (read: "probably next weekend" :) -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
