We/me perl folks are working on it as quickly as we/i can. I'm slated to leave |
| 2 |
for vacation this weekend and would hate to drop a change like minimal |
| 3 |
support into the tree and then disappear for a week. that said, i plan on |
| 4 |
testing the new ebuilds tomorrow if nothing interrupts me. part of the hitch |
| 5 |
with the minimal support ebuild is that it will mean additions to perl-core/* |
| 6 |
that we haven't gauged yet. |
