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 :) perl/perl-libwin32 perl/perl-Win32-GUI parrot/parrot-devel parrot/rakudo-star perl-ExtUtils-Depends perl-Clone perl/perl-Text-CSV ?? perl/perl-Text-CSV_XS perl/perl-IO-Tty perl/perl-Error delta copyright-update cvsutils autobuild postgresql/postgresql-plperl openssl sendxmpp groff/groff-perl perl-Locale-gettext perl-Tk subversion weechat/weechat-perl gtk-doc stow help2man w3m icon-naming-utils texi2html atool llvm/clang-analyzer cdrkit/genisoimage man/manlint stunnel snownews grepmail ddir libproxy/perl-Net-Libproxy TeXmacs openldap/openldap-server boost/libboost-devel colorgcc net-snmp libbonobo2 quilt lftp monotone mm-common netpbm vim/vim-common docbook-utils aspell -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
