Hey guys keep cool, following packages i would like to see in core:

pending signoffs and move to base: pmciautils? just a small udev.rules fix waiting for signoff.

initscripts? bump to 2008.03 with the last changes from git aaron and roman will add the final changes and then release a new version.

pending signoffs and move to support: wpasupplicant? waiting for signoff

fuse? Thomas is there an issue atm? waiting for signoff

kbd? Roman wanted to add some changes and additions to it, this is not critical we could live with the old version too. Roman until the other things are fixed/done you have time to get kbd working.

madwifi/madwifi-utils? switched back to trunk version, waiting for new responses, signoff

delayed package moves due to rebuilds and issues: gcc build-toolchain libtool perl

I consider the latest perl 5.10.0-3 pretty much complete. Except for zim and mod_perl there are no other complaints with the other official packages. I don't know the status of the community packages.

Could you please notify Firmicus about the need of rebuilds so he could package updated versions locally and then upload them to community soon after you move perl out of testing. This will help to avoid breakage of community perl packages

I was about to suggest the same thing. A quick search for 'perl' on the AUR interface gave me over 200 results. As most of them are perl modules that will definitely needs to be rebuilt, we can expect that over 200 community package will need to be rebuilt. That is certainly a lot. IMO, it would be a good idea to keep perl in testing until community packages are locally ready.

Firmicus already did local rebuilds, sergej was notified today.

Firmicus and I have chatted several times about the new perl - already keeping community in mind. -- K. Piche
