Hi,
It is time to signoff on the db-4.8 rebuild. This also covers these packages from [core]
heimdal iproute2 libsasl pam perl (version bump)
mod_perl must be rebuilt as well. See FS#16392. I will take care of it.
However, perl 5.10.1 is not quite ready to go, because the issue with libperl.so (FS#10971) is not yet settled. Actually, I think we can nevertheless go forward with perl as it is in testing (i.e. even with a not necessarily useful libperl.so), and fix that later.
Is that and irssi the only packages needing rebuilt for the perl update?
IIRC rxvt-unicode and vim embed perl and probably do also need to be rebuilt... Kevin should know better than I do. The update from 5.8 to 5.10 necessitated more rebuilds, but here it is a minor update, so that perl modules with binary libraries should not necessitate a rebuild. I'd really like to release 5.10.1, as I am not quite happy with 5.10.0 (because of the incomplete provides array and the fact that 5.10.0 was quite heavily patched). I'm ready to help with the perl rebuilds for both arches, of course.
I am sorry for this inconvenience, but I did commit the changes in trunk before I knew about the forthcoming db rebuild. I should have warned you on this ML about it some days ago, though... Apologies!

The rebuild list doesn't look so bad.
Until now we have: mod_perl irsii (I note BTW that perl is missing from its makedepends array) vim gvim anything else? Kevin?
It's mainly caused by programs that link to libperl.a and then run with the 5.10.1 perl binary. This causes incompatibilities because the libperl.a file linked static into the application or module isn't updated. This is also the reason why we should have a libperl.so: to make sure apps embedding perl get their perl engine updated.
OK, I am currently rebuilding perl 5.10.1 with libperl.so and I will then release it to testing. (To hell with the small performance penalty, then :) ) I will then start rebuilding the above packages with the new perl. F
