Hi All,

After a lot of work I have successfully built the new version of perl 
without any errors.

As Michael had warned, there were a huge number of packages that needed 
to have their rootfiles updated to reflect the change in version number 
that is in the directory path for many files.

I have installed the iso, that resulted from my build, into my vm 
testbed and everything that I tested worked fine with no hiccups.


Next thing I will do is the commits for each changed package.

My understanding is that for the common packages I only need to provide 
the changed rootfile in the patch but for the addons I have to update 
the PAK_VER number if the rootfile has changed so they will have a 
combination of lfs and rootfile in the patch.

I will make the perl change into a series of patches, the primary one 
for perl and each other package will have its own patch.

This will mean that I will be sending a huge number of patches in to 
patchwork later today/tomorrow. If I should be doing this another way, 
because of the large number of packages in the series, let me know what 
I should do differently.


Regards,

Adolf.
