After getting all the arch-specific packages rebuilt in the correct order (actually, just repeatedly rebuild all failing arch-dependent packages until no more builds succeed), everything else pretty much just works. Most failures are fixed simply by updating to latest upstream version or applying a patch from rt - and I pushed a bunch of these into rawhide a few weeks ago. I never got around to finalising the rest, but ended up with around 35 failures, many of which have an upstream update available or a patch in rt. From the list I have here at the minute (which may be incomplete), these packages had non-trivial problems: perl-Class-DBI-AsForm perl-DBM-Deep perl-Mail-MboxParser perl-mogilefs-server perl-Net-FTPServer perl-Net-SSH-Perl perl-OpenFrame perl-Pugs-Compiler-Rule perl-rpm-build-perl perl-Wx-Perl-DataWalker I've got limited time for the next week or so, but will try to get a proper list of failures, reasons, and (potential) fixes shortly after that. Bottom line, though, I'd rather see 5.14.0 in rawhide soon so that we can iron out the difficulties together. A later update to 5.14.1 /should/ be trivial with no need for an additional mass rebuild. Of course, the newly dual-lifed packages that were added to core in 5.14 need to be sub-packaged in perl.spec too as we have all of them as separate packages already. I have a patch, but can't get my hands on it until June 13th. -- Iain. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
