[arch-general] perl-5.12
So is there anything I can do to help to get this in stable? I haven't had any problems personally in over a month. I think the only bug still open for rebuilds is the dbd* one. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

It's fine to have the latest and greatest whenever possible, but packaging is also not a speed competition :) I've read the bug in question. I don't think it should be a barrier to 5.12 adoption. Unfortunately I haven't seen a suggestion on a 'better way'. I agree on the test suite failing. I'll be looking into that once I have a fresh install... right now I suspect some install snafus because someone built on a new vm and reported no issues with what I have issues with. I just got new drives... once I've tested those then I'll reinstall and test more. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

I don't think any bug that's not specific to 5.12 should hold it back. I know one of the bugs I filed doesn't appear to be present in the 5.12 build. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
