Just so you know.... I volunteered to be a junior dev and was

I think I filed ALL the rebuild bugs (for perl- packages ) for 5.12.
I've been running it for 3 months. I think I've done everything I
/can/ to get this rolled out. The fact is the small, very small amount
of work that has yet to be done... I can't do.
The goal of Arch Linux is not to package things faster than everybody
else. The goal of Arch is to make the distribution that the developers
want to use. It just happens that Arch developers like having most
things packaged quickly so that is what we do.
If we happen to be delayed updating something, it is either because no
developer has the time to update it or no developer particular cares
about updating it. We develop this distribution in our own free time so
will get to things when we want to, not when demand dictates it.
And yes you have filed bugs about rebuilds, and yes you applied to be a
junior dev. However, your demanding attitude in repeated emails with
regards to this update means that we would much rather have a delayed
perl release that have you on the developer team. We rate not being an
ass much high than technical skill when selecting people when selecting
people to "work" with.
