Detailed Description

Perl releases will be now every year and updates during year will be containing mainly bug fixes. The release 5.12.1 should be stable release.

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora as bleeding edge distribution should be shipping new release of perl as one of the first distributions.

Scope

How To Test

Download packages from koji's buildroot dist-f14-perltest or try your packages with rebuild build requirements related to perl.

User Experience

User could notice warnings about soon to be removed modules e.g. Class::ISA will be removed, install from CPAN and errors in syntax e.g. defined(%hash) isn't supported anymore.

Dependencies

repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps 'perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.1?.?)' | sort -u

Contingency Plan

Everything will be rebuild in testing buildroot dist-f14-perltest. 'make build TARGET=dist-f14-perltest'

  • update perl to 5.12.1
  • update/fix/rebuild all perl modules
  • rebuild all other dependent packages -> file bugs to maintainers
  • in case no basic components are broken, then packages could be tagged into dist-f14 buildroot
