mostly pkg-perl related again, but at least a few other things, too ....

my car has a new battery since about a week. but more important: the new battery for my thinkpad arrived today.

old:

gregoa@nerys:~$ grep ENERGY /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=84240000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=52560000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=17020000

new:

gregoa@nerys:~$ grep ENERGY /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=84240000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=81830000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=33390000

looks better :)

again, I focussed on the RC bugs in the perl group. & again, carnil++ was very active both in finding & in fixing them :)

• #560616 – src:pip: "pip: FTBFS: tests failed"
  add a trivial patch and upload (pkg-perl)
• #560643 – src:libbsd-resource-perl: "libbsd-resource-perl: FTBFS: tests failed"
  change debian/rules to stop running "icky" tests and upload (pkg-perl)
• #561712 – live-magic: "live-magic: helpers now installed in /usr/share/live-helper/helpers and not /usr/bin"
  use patch from BTS and upload to DELAYED/2
• #562347 – src:libnet-google-code-perl: "libnet-google-code-perl: FTBFS: test failed"
  upload package prepared by carnil (pkg-perl)
• #566502 – liborlite-mirror-perl: "FTBFS: tests fail"
  upload new upstream version (pkg-perl)
• #566585 – libtest-www-mechanize-perl: "FTBFS: tests fail"
  add a patch to work with newer Test::LongString and upload (pkg-perl)
• #566590 – libxml-stream-perl: "FTBFS: tests fail"
  forwarded upstream (pkg-perl)

this does not look good:

gregoa@nerys:~$ grep ENERGY /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=84240000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=53200000
POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=51990000
gregoa@nerys:~$ 

63.15% of the original level. hm.

I enjoyed being at FOSDEM last year, so I'll be going there again in two weeks' time. & I'm really looking forward to meeting some nice people again!

I just sent my statement regarding the amendment of the austrian telecommunication law (implementation of the EU guideline on data retention) to the federal ministry for transport, innovation and technology.

it should show up on the parliament's law draft page at some point.
