Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, perl 5.30 has been in experimental since May and I think it is ready for sid/bullseye now. Our test rebuilds caught unusually few failures and those are all fixed now. The build system has been revamped: it's now based on debhelper/dh and supports building the three perl variants (static, shared, debug) in parallel via symlink farms in separate build directories. Other packaging changes are minimal. The symlink farm part broke builds under qemu-user (due to its special/buggy $0 implementation), but that doesn't concern release architectures. See #931641. I believe only the sh4 buildds are currently affected. As usual the bugs are at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.30-transition;users=debian-p...@lists.debian.org Please let us know when we might get a transition slot. Both of us are currently rather taken by real life stuff, so would appreciate an advance warning if possible. Many thanks for your work on the release.
