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.
Is this something that is already fixed in the centosplus 5.8.8 version? Maybe you can just enable the repository and use yum to update perl (and httpd if you want a working mod_perl).
Hmmm...ignorant me did not know of CentOS plus. I'll check and let you find out. I'm glad I sent the email, no matter how embarasing. I'll let you know if the fixed threads::shared library is in it.
Thanks...james
