Robin,

It would be nice to have the following topics taken care before
the FC-6 final release:


1. Rawhide: perl packages to update
======================================================================

   Fedora Core Development        CPAN
   -------------------------------------------------------------------
   Archive-Tar-1.29               (Archive-Tar-1.30.tar.gz)
   DBD-MySQL-3.0006               (DBD-mysql-3.0007.tar.gz)
   Devel-Symdump-2.0601           (Devel-Symdump-2.0602.tar.gz)
   IO-Socket-SSL-0.998            (IO-Socket-SSL-1.01.tar.gz)
   PDL-2.4.2                      (PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz)
   -------------------------------------------------------------------

   Note:
   There is already a bugzilla ticket opened requesting the
   IO::Socket::SSL update (bugzilla ticket 206782).


2. Rawhide perl package: drop directory support for perl 5.8.3 and 5.84
======================================================================

   Removing support for perl 5.8.3 and perl 5.8.4 reduces the number
   of directories in the perl search path (@INC), which improves the
   perl modules loading time.

   This has already been done in past for FC-4 where support for
   perl 5.8.0/5.8.1/5.8.2 has dropped.

   perl specfile patch:
   --------------------
   --- perl.spec.588_8     2006-07-14 22:22:06.000000000 +0100
   +++ perl.spec   2006-09-17 16:10:58.000000000 +0100
   @@ -26,9 +26,7 @@
    Provides: perl(:WITHOUT_THREADS)
    %endif

   -%define perlmodcompat 5.8.7 5.8.6 5.8.5 5.8.4 5.8.3
   -Provides: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.3)
   -Provides: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.4)
   +%define perlmodcompat 5.8.7 5.8.6 5.8.5
    Provides: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.5)
    Provides: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.6)
    Provides: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.7)
   --------------------

   Note:
   The FC-4 change was reported in the Release Notes.



3. Rawhide perl-LDAP: enable LDAPS support
======================================================================

   Now that perl-IO-Socket-SSL and perl-Net-SSLeay are core packages
   it would be great to have the package perl-LDAP pulling in
   perl-IO-Socket-SSL automatically.

   More information available in the following bugzilla ticket:
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122066



Regards,
jpo
