Maintainers] Perl 5.26.1 (prepare for release) References: <87vakh5bw0.fsf@Rainer.invalid> <87d16g6qaz.fsf@Rainer.invalid> Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2017 06:46:00 -0000 In-Reply-To: <87d16g6qaz.fsf@Rainer.invalid> (Achim Gratz's message of "Sun, 24 Sep 2017 17:59:16 +0200") Message-ID: <87bmlwabb6.fsf_-_@Rainer.invalid> User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/25.2 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-VADE-STATUS: LEGIT X-SW-Source: 2017-09/txt/msg00057.txt.bz2 The Perl 5.26 repository, still at http://cygwin.stromeko.net/perl-5.26, has been updated (again due to an error in module search path) with the prospective release version of Perl 5.26.1 and newly bootstrapped distribution packages. This upload now has dummy (obsoletion) packages for distributions that were formerly imported from CPAN but now use those built-in to Perl: perl-CPAN-Meta perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements perl-Carp perl-Config-Perl-V perl-Module-Load-Conditional perl-Pod-Simple perl-Unicode-Collate perl-Unicode-Normalize perl-Win32 perl-XSLoader Another distribution that hasn't been in use on Cygwin for quite some time already is incompatible with Perl > 5.24 and will be obsoleted: perl-Data-Alias One distribution, perl-File-Path, has been patched in-core in anticipation of upstream doing the same thing in a few months for 5.26.2 in order to fix CVE2017-6512 and is actually at version 2.14 (upstream was still at 2.12_01). You should either start over from your backed-up Cygwin installation from before any previous tests or clean up and re-install all Perl related packages by doing $ rm -fr /usr/{share,lib}/perl5/{,vendor_perl/,site_perl/} $ sed -i.bak -re 's/( perl[-_]?.*-)[0-9.]+-[0-9]+\.tar/\10-0.tar/' /etc/setup/installed.db so that setup "updates" everything to do with Perl again. Please build and prepare packages meant for release to Cygwin only with this latest Perl version, but preferrably do no yet actually upload. Otherwise, in the unlikely case of me still finding an error somewhere, you may have to re-release your package(s). Again the reminder that the following packages will have to be re-built since they install perl modules: biber: BibTeX replacement for users of BibLaTeX (installed binaries and support files) git-svn: Subversion compatibility support for Git version control system git: Distributed version control system grepmail: search mailboxes for mail matching an expression (installed binaries and support files) irssi: Modular text mode IRC client with Perl scripting nginx-mod_http_perl: Web and mail proxy server (installed binaries and support files) nginx-mod_http_perl: Web and mail proxy server po4a: Tools for translating various file formats with gettext (installed binaries and support files) pristine-tar: Regenerate pristine tarballs (installed binaries and support files) sendxmpp: Commandline XMPP (jabber) utility (installed binaries and support files) subversion-perl: A version control system (perl bindings) If there's any Perl distribution in co-maintenance where the co-maintainer prefers to re-build and upload the package instead of just using the one I have built, please let me know so I can remove these before the Cygwin upload. The current plan is that when each maintainer has ready with the package rebuild, we will coordinate an upload so that all packages can be released at the same time. Tentatively we would like to do that some time in CW41, so if that doesn't work for you, please speak up.
