  • Help needed with perl-tk NMU

    From Dominic Hargreaves@21:1/5 to gregor herrmann on Thu Sep 10 22:30:01 2020
    Hi all

    I didn't hear back from Colin, and so I think in order to unblock
    the perl 5.32 transition we need to NMU either a targeted fix for
    perl 5.32 compatibility, or the new upstream release. I'm not sure
    which is more appropriate given the time since the last release in
    Debian.

    Any takers? I'm a bit short on time myself, these days.

    See http://perl.debian.net/ for the test repository you might need
    to verify fixes.

    Thanks,
    Dominic

    Hi,

    although Perl 5.32 is not released yet, we've just started early
    testing against the archive during our online Debian Perl Sprint.
    One of the issues we noticed is that the current perl-tk version in sid
    is incompatible with newer versions of Perl, causing build failures with perl-tk reverse dependencies.

    The problem is fixed upstream in the 804.035 release according to
    the changelog. Importing that into Debian would help our testing
    efforts. Please consider doing that, and let us know if you'd like
    any help.

    Fixed upstream in https://github.com/eserte/perl-tk/commit/59dfbd147d894596b93f0a8dba5a5cf5af11ceaf
    which is in the current 804.035 release.

    Perl 5.32 is already released upstream and uploded to
    Debian/experimental, so it would be nice to have perl-tk fixed
    soonish as well.

    Hi Colin,

    This is one of the few remaining blockers for the Perl 5.32 transition
    which we'll need to get in in the next couple of months - will you be
    able to take a look at updating perl-tk in the near future?

    Thanks,
    Dominic
