I planned to write after I do a rebuild of all modules, but I run it
with low priority so at the moment perl-Tk is beeing built.
The ratio failed/completed builds is 156/1306 at the moment.
Many builds failed because of missing dependency. This will be
easy to solve after the mass rebuild finish. I hope tomorrow ;-)
If you want to fix your own modules, then I run mostly into these issues:
- use of Class::ISA which has been deprecated, but it's now in buildroot
as separated package and you can simply add it into BuildRequires.
- test t/99_pmv.t which is checking version, that's broken at the moment,
upstream is aware of this issue. For the meantime I switched of these tests
until Perl::MinimumVersion and perl(version) will be fixed.
I applied trunk version as a patch, but that doesn't help [4]
- some other deprecated syntax (defined with hash %) or module (VERSION,
UNIVERSAL). List of all deprecated calls can be find at [1]. This is a
little
complicated, but could be fixed or at least reported on upstream.
- SIGSEGV were fixed in some cases by rebuild of dependencies, but there
might be a problem in interpreter. I don't think that SIGSEGV has to
appeared
after unsuccessful 'eval'.
- and quite often are problems with test - not matching regexp in 'qr'
[2]. If you
find out what's wrong with these, let me know ;-)
The another thing is perl itself. Upstream is working on bug fixing of
5.12 and
they are preparing release candidate of 5.12.1. I hope F-14 will be released
with 5.12.1. After I'll finish rebuild, I'd like to polish our
Guidelines [3] and
add perl-5.12 as a Fedora Feature to draw more attention to Perl.
