[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-5.18.2-1 (x86) [test] Attn Maintainers with perl reqs

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-5.18.2-1 (x86) [test] Attn Maintainers with perl reqs

[Reini Urban]

I've uploaded the first test packages for the new perl-5.18.2, x86
only, today, as test package.
Most problems in the last weeks were on 32bit only, 64bit has a much
better address space.

perl, perl_vendor, perl_manpages, perl_debugbuild

I'll upload the new 64bit version and my own missing perl subpackages
in the next few
days also.
No problems expected, as my smoker is pretty stable on 64bit.

Note that perl-5.18 has some new and maybe unexpected syntax warnings.
And there are still some minor bugs lurking. That's the price we have to pay.
See http://perldoc.perl.org/index-history.html
There are also some shiny new features, such as with Unicode.
I'll probably skip 5.20, and wait for 5.22 as this will probably have
improved hashtables
and better security.

Changes:
  - updated perlrebase to use the rebase -s database with a systemperl
in /usr/bin
  - improved automatic rebase with EUMM, not with Module::Build (using
rebase -s)
  - changed gcc-4 to gcc, g++-4 to g++ as there are no -4 variants anymore

  Changes in perl_vendor:
  - Replaced Crypt::SSLeay for CPAN::Reporter with Net::SSLeay,
LWP::Protocol::https and
    IO::Socket::SSL to support hostname verification.

In the next few weeks I hope that all maintainers with perl as
requirement will have updated
their packages as test, or can verify that they don't need to update,
so that we can have
a unified switch over as with 5.14.
Only packages which link to libperl or are building XS libs need to
update as soon as possible.
The others might want to check if their perl scripts are still
running, so that the pain after the switch is minimized.

It's really easy now with cygport and only 2 lines needed:

CPAN_AUTHOR=who
inherit perl

It's only 173 setup.hints in those packages :)

I've built perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07 for perl-5.18.2 on 32-bit Cygwin. 
Functionally, everything seems OK. However, the performance of the test 
harness was quite poor. With perl-5.14.2, the perl-Text-CSV_XS test 
harness rattled through in 8 seconds; with perl-5.18.2 it was 68 seconds 
(same PC) - that's over 8x slower. Is this something you were expecting?

Here are the relevant lines from the cygport log files. Firstly, the 
perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07 test harness running under perl-5.14.2:

     All tests successful.
     Files=27, Tests=33858,  8 wallclock secs ( 2.23 usr  0.23 sys + 
5.05 cusr
     2.05 csys =  9.56 CPU)

And now the same running under perl-5.18.2:

     All tests successful.
     Files=27, Tests=33858, 68 wallclock secs ( 0.34 usr  0.30 sys + 
65.66 cusr
     2.03 csys = 68.34 CPU)

You can get the perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07 source from CPAN (or your 
favourite Cygwin mirror) should you want to try this for yourself. The 
slowest test seemed to be 't/70_rt.t'.

Hope this is helpful,

Dave.

The debug package is actually named perl_debuginfo at the moment, but
perhaps it should be renamed perl-debuginfo to conform to all other
packages?

@INC looks strange: why do you keep vendor_perl for 5.10, but not for
5.14?  Do we really want to fall back to site_perl 5.10 and 5.8 these
days?

Achim.

Yes, if you set TEST_VERBOSE=1 you'll see that with the old Perl you've
skipped some 20000 tests with the message "Encode is too old for these
tests", which is no longer the case.  Skipping these tests with the new
Perl gets the test times back to where they were, if not slightly
faster.

Achim.

Thanks for explaining - I hadn't spotted that because the number of 
tests reported was the same for both versions of perl. I'll do some more 
testing and upload a test version in the next day or so.

Dave.

I have uploaded test versions of the following packages, ready for use 
with perl-5.18.2:

     perl-Text-CSV-1.32-2
     perl-Text-CSV_XS-1.07-2

These are available for 32-bit Cygwin only at the moment; I'll add 
64-bit versions when a 64-bit build of perl-5.18.2 is available.

Cheers,

Dave.

probably.

I also found out that several vendor packages are now separated on x86_64, 
so I’ll have to split them also for 32bit. Lot more work todo for me, but apparently
some guys just went ahead.

oops, vendor_perl/5.14 is missing.

yes, falling back to good old arch-unspecific code is no problem and 
saves installation time and space.
and we did support those versions.

still working on unexpected socketpair problems with 64bit.

My offer for help still stands.

BTW, would it be possible to enable the site-config option in the next
Perl build to allow massaging @INC on a per-installation basis if
necessary?

And if there's still too much to do, I'm happy to pitch in as well ;-)
