I just realized it's sunday again, so here goes my list of RC bugs I've worked on during the last week:

  upload package prepared by xguimard (pkg-perl)

have I said before that we are running out of easy RC bugs? the list is a bit short this week:

• #677861 – src:lftp: "lftp: FTBFS[kfreebsd-i386]: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef __int32_t gl_intptr_t'"
  sponsor upload to t-p-u from Ivo De Decker

• #691015 – conserver-client: "conserver-client: fails to upgrade from testing: Can't locate Tie/Hash/NamedCapture.pm in @INC"
  update regexp to use numbered capture groups, upload to DELAYED/2

to make up for this poor performance, I've uploaded ~14 new lib.*-perl packages to the NEW queue yesterday & today :)

it's seems we're starting to run out of RC bugs with the implicit usertag easy-enough-for-gregoa …

what I've done in the last days besides working on the bugs listed below is to tag quite a few bugs pending that were uploaded into a DELAYED queue. – please try to remember to set this tag on delayed NMUs, nmudiff is quite convenient here.

  fix debian/rules, upload to DELAYED/2
