Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Dear release team, As discussed briefly in the thread starting at <http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2013/05/msg00595.html>, now seems like a good time to get the perl 5.18 transition on the roadmap. The rebuild testing, across all packages which need to be rebuilt as part of the transition as well as all other lib*-perl packages, is now complete and the status is at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.18-transition;users=debian-p...@lists.debian.org As of today, blockers appear to be in the following packages: - perlipq - qpid-cpp - libdbd-anydata-perl - libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl - libgd-gd2-perl - nfqueue-bindings - libtemplate-perl - libdata-alias-perl - libscalar-number-perl - libembperl-perl - subversion - graphviz with around 40-50 other packages which will start FTBFS with perl 5.18 but which don't need to be rebuilt. I don't yet have a fixed idea of when we'd prefer the transition to happen, but progress on fixing blockers is steady thanks mainly to the pkg-perl team. Maybe 1-2 months from now?
