It's probably time for me to chime in about polymake again. The polymake package has relatively few Fedora users, and takes a long time to build. Perl, on the other hand, has a large number of users. I don't think we should hold up perl releases for a polymake build. It's okay with me to just go ahead and update perl and let polymake be broken. I'll notice it is broken and do the necessary builds. The few polymake users will be annoyed that they can't update to the latest perl and will send me nastygrams. I'll respond with a canned email I have sitting around because exactly this situation has happened many times in the past. Of course, I am also trying to give polymake away, so maybe I should not put my (purely hypothetical so far) successor on the hook like that. :-) The other possibility is that somebody who knows more about perl than me breaks polymake's hard dependency on the exact version it was built with. I think upstream is concerned about that because polymake inserts its tentacles into all corners of perl's C innards, so even a small change could require a rebuild. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
