Dear maintainer of a dual-lived CPAN distribution: I'm currently attempting
to get bleadperl to be warnings-clean; i.e. where
(./Configure && make) 2>errs
leaves no lines in 'errs'. Recently bleadperl made the -W options passed
to the C compiler more fascist, and in addition we're trying to get blead
to compile and run cleanly under clang's -fsanitize=undefined option. Due
to that and other reasons, bleadperl's build is currently very noisy.
Attached (hopefully) to this ticket is one or more patches that reduce the
noise of your distribution when built as part of bleadperl.
It would be great if they could make it into a new release of your
distribution in time for incorporation into perl-5.22.0. Our
timetable is:
2015-01-20 5.21.8 Contentious changes freeze
2015-02-20 5.21.9 User-visible changes freeze
2015-03-20 5.21.10 Full code freeze
2015-05-20 5.22.0 Stable release!
so for example if a new release of your distribution included contentious
features, then it would need to be merged into blead *prior* to the 20th
of Jan.
Thanks,
Dave M.
