Re: [Attn. Maintainers] Perl 5.26.1

[Achim Gratz <Stromeko at nexgo dot de>]

The Perl 5.26 repository, still at http://cygwin.stromeko.net/perl-5.26,
has been updated with the release version of Perl 5.26.1 and newly
bootstrapped distribution packages.  I will do one more bootstrap cycle
before I'm ready for release.  This upload now has dummy (obsoletion)
packages for distributions that were formerly separate but now
integrated into Perl:

perl-CPAN-Meta
perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements
perl-Carp
perl-Module-Load-Conditional
perl-Pod-Simple
perl-Unicode-Collate
perl-Unicode-Normalize
perl-Win32
perl-XSLoader

Another distribution that hasn't been in use on Cygwin for quite some
time already is incompatible with Perl > 5.24 and will be obsoleted:

perl-Data-Alias

One distribution, perl-File-Path, has been patched in-core in
anticipation of upstream doing the same thing in a few months for 5.26.2
in order to fix CVE2017-6512 and is actually at version 2.14 (upstream
was still at 2.12_01).


You should either start over from your backed-up Cygwin installation
from before the tests or clean up and re-install all Perl related
packages by doing

$ rm -fr /usr/share/perl5/5.26 /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26 /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.26 /usr/lib/perl5/5.26 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26
$ sed -i.bak -re 's/( perl[-_].*-)[0-9.]+-[0-9]+\.tar/\10-0.tar/' /etc/setup/installed.db

so that setup "updates" everything again.

Please build and prepare packages meant for release to Cygwin with this
Perl version, but preferrably do no yet actually upload.  Otherwise, in
the unlikely case of me still finding an error somewhere, you may have
to re-release your package(s).


If there's any Perl distribution in co-maintenance where the
co-maintainer prefers to re-build and upload the package instead of just
using the one I have built, please let me know so I can remove these
before the Cygwin upload.


Regards,
Achim.
