Subject: Bug#1093541: dist: warns with Perl 5.40: Old package separator "'"
 deprecated
Message-ID: <Z41Cwb0FTbG5ZZOk@birgitta.local.invalid>

Package: dist
Version: 1:3.5-236-1.1
Severity: normal
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.40-transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: perl at packages.debian.org

Apologies for the rather late report, but metaconfig
in the dist package issues lots of warnings since
we upgraded to Perl 5.40.

On current sid we get 298 warnings just with:

  $ metaconfig
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 101.
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 101.
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 102.
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 102.
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 104.
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 104.
  Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/metaconfig line 105.
  [...]
 
This looks unfortunately onerous to fix.

In `perldoc perldeprecation` there's this:

   Use of "'" as a global name separator
    Perl allows use of "'" instead of "::" to replace the parts of a package
    or global variable name, for example "A::B" and "A'B" are equivalent.

    "'" will no longer be recognized as a name separator in Perl 5.42.

but I believe the approach is being reconsidered, see

  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/22644

  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/22675

Filing a bug to track this in any case.

Subject: Bug#1093776: perl: occasionally hangs and no longer responds to
 trapped signals
Message-ID: <20250122153904.GA1541812@citron.lip.ens-lyon.fr>

Package: perl
Version: 5.36.0-7+deb12u1
Severity: normal

I have a Perl script that hung twice. Some signals are trapped
in the following way:

$SIG{'INT'} = sub
  { maplepid and quitmaple;
    $SIG{'PIPE'} = 'DEFAULT';
    warn "Interrupt\n";
    exit; };
$SIG{'QUIT'} = sub
  { maplepid and quitmaple;
    $SIG{'PIPE'} = 'DEFAULT';
    warn "Quit\n";
    $SIG{'QUIT'} = 'DEFAULT';
    kill 'QUIT', $$; };

While strace shows that perl received these signals, perl doesn't
output anything (note: maplepid returns undef) and these signals
are completely ignored.

Note that this issue is rather rare: the script is running
continuously, the this issue occurred twice in several months.

Subject: Bug#1094242: (mini)transition: perl 5.40.1
Message-ID: <Z5YshQ4JUyYb6_iC@birgitta.local.invalid>

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org

X-Debbugs-Cc: perl at packages.debian.org

Perl 5.40.1 is in experimental, and I think it's ready for unstable +
testing. I expect this is the version we will want to release trixie with.

It is ABI compatible with 5.40.0, but will need five packages to be
rebuilt, because they have strict dependencies on the upstream version
for various reasons [1].

  nmu libpar-packer-perl libdevel-cover-perl libclass-xsaccessor-perl libcommon-sense-perl libdevel-mat-dumper-perl . ANY . -m "Rebuild against Perl 5.40.1." --extra-depends 'perl-base (>= 5.40.1)'

I have tested the new version on amd64 by rebuilding and running
autopkgtest checks on ~5K related packages and found no regressions.
I don't quite understand why latexml fails on ci.debian.net, but it passes
for me locally. I suspect --add-apt-source or --pin-packages don't work
quite perfectly with build dependency resolution under 'build-needed'.

After more than fifteen years of doing this I'm still not sure about
your preferred process for these minor Perl releases, so I'm erring on
the safe side. Please let me know if/when it's OK to upload to unstable.

Thanks for your work,
