- Subject: perl-5.9.5
I almost have that ready, I just wait for some of my cygwin patches
upstream.
With current blead (5.9.5) I get now the same number of failing tests as
with 5.8
../lib/Net/Ping/t/500_ping_icmp.t 2 1 50.00% 2
being the only leftover.
How should we name it so that users can experiment with that?
Side-by-side to perl-5.8.8
I would suggest perl5.9-5.9.5-1.
And when perl5.10 comes out as perl-5.10-1, the development version can
switch to perl5.11-5.11-1.
I couldn't find similar cases ion any distro.
They just allow perl-5.9.4 besides perl-5.8.8.
perl-devel seems to be misleading, maybe perl-exp or perl-experimental.
I also enabled -DDEBUGGING, esp. for the new regex engine.
I don't think people want 5.9 to use for the enhanced speed, mainly to
test the new perl6 and regex features for the upcoming 5.10.
For 5.9 I also added libxml to vendor, not only expat.
And I pulled in all CPAN and CPAN::Reporter dependencies.
Originally I wanted to get the vendor libs smaller, but a current CPAN
is really important, and CPAN::Reporter also.
