The changes in sid are:
* bump version number
* cange poe.perl.org IP address in tests
* apply Tinco's patch for skipping tests when no network is
available
So the only change not available in testing is the change of the IP
address of poe.perl.org.
However, I think that the idea is broken -- poe.perl.org may change
its address again and security team won't be able to rebuild the
package. What I propose instead is to compare the result of the
poco-c-dns' resolver and the system-wide resolver.
$ getent hosts poe.perl.org
67.207.145.70 poe.perl.org
and ignoring the test if the system-wide resolver fails.
Now, getent may well work fine on Debian, and probably many unux-based
OSes, but I doubt it can be considered portable. Perhaps using
Net::DNS would be better.
Providing a patch left as an exercise for the reader :)
