[Mageia-dev] perl 5.14 migration almost complete, 3 (non-cpan) modules to go - need help from their owner!

[Jerome Quelin]

hi,

perl 5.14 migration is almost complete. a big thanks to sander85,
spuhler & ahmad for their help to rebuild the binary modules! 

at the time of writing, the only packages left to rebuild are the
following:

- perl-Alias

this module is old (1999) and no more maintained upstream, so i added a
conflicts: in perl to remove it.

- perl-DBD-Firebird

this module does not compile with perl 5.14: no success reported by any
cpan testers. i've added a conflicts in perl to have a smooth transition
too. it'll be updated when a new version is available upstream.

- perl-MIME-Explode

doesn't compile with perl 5.14, bug opened upstream (rt#66966).
conflicts: added in perl, waiting for new version.

- perl-PDA-Pilot

from pilot-link package. i don't have a clue what's the problem. maybe
it doesn't support 5.14. can her maintainer chime in?

- perl-SWF

from ming package. the problem may be from specifying LIBS on
command-line, but i'm not sure. can her maintainer chime in please?

- perl-SWISH-API

from swish-e package. the problem may be from specifying OTPIMIZE,
CCFLAGS, LDFLAGS and others on command-line, but i'm not sure. can her
maintainer chime in please?


thanks,
jérôme
