Just in case nobody noticed this weekend ;) |

Perl 5.8.8 RC1 is in portage. It is currently package masked, so either |
| 4 |
update /etc/portage/package.unmask or manually tweak |
| 5 |
$PORTDIR/profiles/package.mask, whatever floats your boat. It is my |
| 6 |
intention (yea, for what good that does :) to leave the RC's in package |
| 7 |
mask, mostly because they're intended for people to test out and offer |
| 8 |
feedback on the maintenance release prior to it being marked stable (so |
| 9 |
I don't want people putting this into production, for instance). |

Here are some things I know are broken: |
| 12 |
* PDL won't build. I think this is an EU::MM bug and have a patch |
| 13 |
submitted to mschwern for feedback. |
| 14 |
* SVN won't build. This is actually due to a swig bug and is fixed |
| 15 |
upstream (RC2 hopefully) |
| 16 |
* wxperl doesn't build. Not sure why, haven't had time to trace the c |
| 17 |
errors, could be related to above, could be something completely |
| 18 |
different. |

These were the only problems I ran into after working on 350+ packages |
| 21 |
this weekend, so I guess all in all not a bad take (also worked a bit on |
| 22 |
perl-cleaner to get more accurate rebuilds). You know where to find me |
| 23 |
if you have complaints, |
