Hi release team, I'd like to get Perl 5.40 into sid and trixie. There's four known regression bugs left open. One package (libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl, #1078075) will need an upload in lockstep with perl. The other three have pending NMUs in the DELAYED queue (thanks Gregor!) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.40-transition;users=debian-p...@lists.debian.org As usual we've been running continuous amd64 rebuilds on perl.debian.net against Perl 5.40 since early June to catch build time regressions. I've also checked for related autopkgtest regressions in all packages declaring Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl, having Testsuite-Triggers: perl, or depending on perl. I don't have good tools to check for existing testing/unstable skew with packages that will need binNMUs. The only blocker I'm currently aware of is vim / #1082125 . Ben file proposal, just copy-pasting from last year: title = "perl"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libperl5.38|perlapi-5.38" | .pre-depends ~ "libperl5.38|perlapi-5.38"; is_good = .depends ~ "libperl5.40|perlapi-5.40" | .pre-depends ~ "libperl5.40|perlapi-5.40"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libperl5.38|perlapi-5.38" | .pre-depends ~ "libperl5.38|perlapi-5.38"; I hope things will be as ready as can be in a week or so. Please let me know when a transition slot might be available, and also if you have any concerns of course. Thanks for your work on Debian, -- Niko
