perl@25817

[Nicholas Clark]

It's time for a maint snapshot.

To be fair, it's somewhat late, as real life keeps getting in the way of
integrating stuff from blead to maint. (I have a plan that I hope will
resolve the last parts of this, but it's not ready to roll out yet).

So heres a maint snapshot, that incorporates a most of what 5.8.8 will be.
In particular, it contains ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.30, which has been on
CPAN for a long time, is stable, and therefore won't throw up any surprises.

(or .gz if you or your toolset prefers a 12M file over a 9瞎 file)

I believe that this snapshot will fail tests on VMS. I hope it will be clean
on Windows, and all flavours of Unix, so reports both of success and of
failure would be appreciated.

I suspect that there will need to be another snapshot in about a week,
incorporating the various remaining things still not integrated, and then
probably 5.8.8 RC1 about a week later. This is a bit behind my original
plan. Sorry.

Better late (and solid) than never ;-)

Successful on OS X Tiger, except for:

lib/locale................................FAILED at test 99

Know locale problem on OS X maybe?

Yes; the test file says :

# Darwin 8/Mac OS X 10.4 has bad Catalan locales: perl bug #35895,
# Apple bug ID# 4139653. It also has a problem in Byelorussian.

but it's supposed to be skipped. So the skip condition must be
extended. (or maybe is it another different test that fails for
you.)

That's the test file in blead; maint has yet to be patched.

In maint snapshot I see

# The following locales
#
# eu_ES eu_ES.ISO8859-1 eu_ES.ISO8859-15 eu_ES.UTF-8
#
# had problems.
#
../lib/locale....FAILED tests 99, 105-106, 108-109, 113, 115

"Solution" (more like sweeping issue under the carpet) is to apply
blead patch 25406 to maint.

Everything succeeded on Linux PPC. Test 11 lib/Memoize/t/expmod_t.t
failed with the first 'make test', but succeeded when I ran it by hand
and then with 'make test' again, under less load.

I'm a bit late getting here, I know, but it all looks good for me on
Win32 (bar one failure with bcc which is already fixed in blead). I
guess the smokes show that anyway.
