Perl 5.32 transition underway

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Hello Dominic!

I have uploaded Perl 5.32 to Debian unstable, starting a 600+ package
transition. Wide uninstallability is to be expected in sid for the next
few days until the necessary rebuilds have been completed.

There seem to be build issues on QEMU again as the build fails on m68k and
sh4. I also noticed that the build fails with many parallel jobs (building
with 64 jobs in my case).

Right, it looks like the issue described at #931641 has returned.
This was apparently[1] fixed in qemu-user but I don't know any more
details about the fix (or indeed the deployment status of the buildds)
to check how it regressed.

CCing the porter lists for any additional insights.

Dominic

It must be a slightly different issue and most likely this bug #970460 [1].

A heads-up to us porters would have been nice prior the upload, now I'm
very much in a hurry to get perl_5.32 to be built not to fall back in the
transition *sigh*.

Hi, I'm sorry about that. I don't think either of us noticed the
failure in the experimental upload in September. It's easy to miss
failures of non-release architectures, given how often transient issues
arise. If I understand that bug correctly, there's a workaround that
you would be able to apply on the buildds - is that correct?

I filed #974004 to track this on the perl side.

Thanks
Dominic

Avoiding the ext4 kernel module would avoid that bug, right?

Hi, a late heads-up that Perl 5.32.1 failed to build on m68k and sh4,
probably because of this same issue.

It's just a mini-transition though (see #981232) so hopefully the hurry
is not quite as bad this time.

Hi, in case this is still an issue: Perl 5.34 transition is just about
to begin (see #1003176) so you might want to keep an eye on the builds.
