I guess since 3.1.9 is already broken, and this is actually less broken,
and it's a security fix, I'm +1 on this release.
However, I make that +1 with the strong recomendation that we need to
get a 3.1.11 out sometime soon that actually builds properly under CPAN.
No, 3.1.10 is not a security fix -- That was a copy and paste error by
Theo in the draft announcement. The only bug fixes between 3.1.9 and
3.1.10 are the two minor ones that Theo listed. I think they were fixes
that Theo wanted in 3.1.9 but were missed.
I would vote for committing the bug 5510 and 5529 fixes to the 3.1
branch if anyone else wants them in there, and I'm willing to do the
work of tracking down the details to make sure that we take care of
anything else that has to be committed along with those patches. It is
annoying to not be able to install from CPAN, especially if 3.1.9 was
the release that broke it.
Please do so Sidney. CPAN installs need to work as root. If the fixes
aren't backported the tests should at least be disabled.
