Hi All,
I'm trying to rebuild the version of perl that is in CentOS 4.3 to update the version of threads::shared(3pm) that has a serious memory leak in it. When I try to build it some of the tests its running fail (failure went off my screen but I'll have that in a moment) and it failed to build. BTW, I'm building on a CentOS 4.2 system.
So my questions are two fold:
- Does anyone know of any known issues with building the perl SRPM in general?
- Once I have the latest threads::shared in buildable SRPM is there
an interest in picking that up, or is there anyone that would like to put it in a repository?
Correction I'm building on CentOS 4.3 and I pulled the SRPM from CentOS 4.4.
The test that is failing is the t/op/pwent test. I'll be looking at why its failing, but the same questions still apply.
Thanks...james
