after the release is before the release. – or: long time no RC bug
report.
after the jessie release I spent most of my Debian time on work
in the Debian Perl
Group. we tried to get down the list of new upstream releases (from over
500 to currently 379; unfortunately the CPAN never sleeps), we were &
still are busy preparing for the Perl
5.22 transition (e.g. we uploaded something between 300 & 400
packages to deal with Module::Build & CGI.pm being removed from perl
core; only team-maintained packages so far), & we had a pleasant &
productive sprint
in Barcelona in May. – & I also tried to fix some of the RC bugs
in our packages which popped up over the previous months.
yesterday & today I finally found some time to help with the GCC 5 transition, mostly by making
QA or Non-Maintainer Uploads with patches that already were in the BTS.
– a big thanks especially to the team at HP which provided a couple
dozens patches!
& here's the list of RC bugs I've worked on in the last 3 months:
