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!

remarks:

• to be honest, these were all easy bugs, I just grabbed existing patches (by Martin Michlmayr, peter green, & several Ubuntu folks).
• reactions so far: one "thank you" mail, no other comments.
