A few notes for maintainers that I didn't manage to write yesterday
evening:
If building your Perl distribution (or testing) fails, try adding
export PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1
to the cygport file. Please do not add it unconditionally and check
with each update whether it is still needed.
The following distributions are now integrated into Perl itself with a
new enough version to satisfy all dependencies and will thus be dropped
from Cygwin as separate packages until a newer version of them is
required elsewhere:
perl-XSLoader
perl-Carp
perl-CPAN-Meta
perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements
perl-File-Temp
perl-Module-Load-Conditional
perl-Pod-Simple
perl-Socket
perl-Test-Simple
perl-Unicode-Collate
perl-Unicode-Normalize
perl-Win32
Since the plan is to keep closer to the upstream Perl versions than
previously, I don't think that need will arise, though.
The following distribution is incompatible with perl-5.26 (it uses
internal functions that have been removed) and will be dropped from
Cygwin -- it hasn't had any dependent packages for some time already, so
no problems arising from that removal are expected.
perl-Data-Alias
Regards,
Achim.
