Concerning perl, a 5.10.2 may happen. But no news in january.

We may still follow ubuntu-10.04 perl-5.10.1 package or RH6
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/perl

I agree we could consider perl-5.12. This is not so deep in my todo list.

I would hope soon to:
- conclude my env build cleanup this week-end,
- fix floppy build
* vmlinuz compiled with -fno-stack-protector in CFLAGS produce random
characters on screen when initramfs start and hang
* vmlinuz compile without STACKPROTECTOR set in config work. But that fail
to insmod modules compiled with STACKPROTECTOR
* so the simple solution is revert using standard vmlinuz and remove again
cd support from floppy

- try to fix gcc for other arch since it is hardened.
I need to check what debian patch match the patches we include.
