At least on Debian, Dominic's APT repository on http://perl.debian.net/ helps a lot. But I suppose, your development environment isn't really a Debian Unstable. :-) > So if anybody can help with testing, I would like to keep Embperl > working and also as part of Debian (any other distros). Just uploaded a fixed libembperl-perl package to Debian Unstable with all these patches applied: https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libembperl-perl/tree/master/debian/patches I'll also try to continue to take care of Embperl in Debian as before. But Dominic's mail came during my holidays and I only noticed the removal discussion rather late. (I hopefully killed that removal discussion for now with my fix and upload. At least Embperl is recognized as blocker for the Perl 5.28 transition in Debian. :-) Relevant for building with Perl 5.28 is mostly this patch: https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libembperl-perl/blob/master/debian/patches/fix-undefined-behaviour-causing-FTBFS-with-Perl-5.28.patch I've also attached it to this mail. It's basically just fixing the test suite as there's code in there which relied on undefined behaviour. And that behaviour changed with Perl 5.28 due to some performance optimizations. (Patch tested against Perl 5.26 and 5.28.) Starting from a vanilla Embperl, those patches for Perl 5.20 and 5.22 need to be applied first, too, of course. Others, like the patch for compatibility with recent CGI.pm versions and the one fixing unescaped left braces very likely need to be applied, too, to build Embperl on an uptodate system.
