You may notice that there are a lot of updated packages in rawhide today... this is because perl 5.10.0 has arrived! Like any major version update, there are bound to be a few bugs lurking about (which is why we got it in before the feature freeze). In addition, it is possible that I missed some perl-dependent packages in my rebuilding frenzy. If you see any packages in rawhide which are still storing files in the 5.8.8/ vendor directories, please file bugs. We got a tremendous amount of help from the perl 5 porters community, especially Andy Armstrong, Nicholas Clark, and Rafael Garcia-Suarez. Without these folks, we would not have been able to meet the Fedora deadline. Thanks also go out to the Fedora Perl SIG, who were very helpful (and patient) while I got this done. Several packages were obsoleted by base perl and have been dead.package'd and blocked in rawhide: perl-Archive-Extract perl-Archive-Tar perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib perl-Compress-Zlib perl-CPANPLUS perl-Digest-SHA perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS perl-File-Fetch perl-IO-Compress-Base perl-IO-Compress-Zlib perl-IO-Zlib perl-IPC-Cmd perl-Locale-Maketext-Simple perl-Log-Message perl-Log-Message-Simple perl-Module-Build perl-Module-CoreList perl-Module-Load perl-Module-Load-Conditional perl-Module-Loaded perl-Module-Pluggable perl-Object-Accessor perl-Package-Constants perl-Params-Check perl-Pod-Escapes perl-Pod-Simple perl-Term-UI perl-Time-Piece perl-version If you have a package which depends on libperl, and doesn't rebuild, make sure you have "perl(ExtUtils::Embed)" as a BuildRequires (in addition to perl-devel). Most packages use ExtUtils::Embed to determine where the perl-devel headers live, and can't find them without it. A few additional changes were committed with this release: - Fedora is now tracking all of its patches in patchlevel.h - The "sitedir" and "sitearch" directories are now located under /usr/local, to make it very clear that files installed by CPAN did not come from Fedora packages (they still work fine). Thanks again, ~spot ps.
