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.
