[Mageia-dev] the state of perl rebuild

[Jerome Quelin]

hi,

some news regarding perl modules rebuilding...

i'm going my way through the existing modules, rebuilding them in order.
i've already rebuild ~1700 of them - remains 600.

in the meantime, i've blacklisted some of the rebuilds due to missing
non-perl prereqs, build errors that i don't have the time to investigate
(yet), etc. so it's a perfect opportunity for you to step in and help if
you have some tuits to spare.

here's the list of blacklist, with respective problem:

i'm available on #mageia-dev (nick jq) if you have some question. if you
manage to troubleshoot & fix a package, please tell me so i can remove
it from the list of blocking modules...

thanks,
jérôme
