Help wanted from the list here. One thing to note is that I understand Pasky is working on not using Devel::PPPort to make the code work with 5.6, so if your build dies with problems in that area you might want to wait until that is fixed. > I'd even suggest we revert the changes to git-fmt-merge-msg to > keep it working for now, until the above worries are resolved. > Otherwise we cannot have it in "next" safely (and I REALLY _do_ > want to have Git.pm infrastructure in "next" soonish). I am still undecided about the reverting, since in the places I personally care about the program works ;-). I test-built the tip of "pu" 57628f0e; the RPM build log ends like this: Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Requires: /bin/sh git-core = 1.4.1.rc2.g5762-1 tk >= 8.4 Processing files: git-debuginfo-1.4.1.rc2.g5762-1 Provides: Git.so.debug()(64bit) Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/git-1.4.1.rc2.g5762-1-root-junio error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Error.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Git.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Git/.packlist /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Git/Git.bs /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Git/Git.so RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Error.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Git.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Git/.packlist /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Git/Git.bs /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Git/Git.so make: *** [rpm] Error 1 - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
