This way was not practical. You cannot ensure a proper rebased initial set this way, hence 32bit rebase error will be more likely. I didn't make progress in the autorebaser for cpan installs. >> Another two months have passed and there's still no response from Reini, nor >> do we have a release of perl-5.18 on x86_64.

But I'm fine if Achim takes it, since he caused too many troubles in his x86_64 packaging changes for the 32bit port, which I didn't want to follow. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/
