4 | This is the problem. To add 5.10.0 now you have to review 1.5 years of |
5 | patches. |

11 | I am sure there is at least one security related patch missing in the |
12 | perl-experimental package. |
13 | |
14 | OTOH: 5.10.1 is expected soon. A first release candidate was scheduled |
15 | for this weekend. |
16 | Well, once the "...plan was to have 5.10.1 out by the end of the year...." |
17 | That was last year and the point where i stopped spending time |
18 | on packaging 5.10.0. Looking back after 9 month, this was probably not |
19 | the best decision. |

21 | |
22 | I don't expect to find many problems within other packages. |
23 | |
24 | What needs to be done: |
25 | - Find maintainers. |
26 | - Fix our patchset: |

28 | - Fix perl-cleaner and test the upgrade path: |
