Hi,

AFAICT, these packages remain to be looked after

* BackupPC-3.1.0-14
wants perl-suidperl (Abandoned by perl-5.12.)

* gnumeric-plugins-extras-1.10.0-1
Fails to build for reasons outside of Perl.

* perl-DBI-Dumper
Fails to build - Dead upstream.

* perl-Data-Alias
Fails to build - Dead upstream.

* perl-Pugs-Compiler-Rule
Fails to build - Dead upstream.

* perl-Test-AutoBuild
Fails to build - Dead upstream
(Upstream maintainer: Daniel P. Berrangé,
  Fedora maintainer: berrange at fp.org ?!?)

* virt-v2v:
Fails to build for reasons outside of Perl.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608389

* krazy2:
Fails to rebuild for reasons outside of Perl.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608649



How do we want to proceed with them?

Proposal:
* check if we can abandon these 4 perl-* packages.
AFAICT, none of these packages is required by Fedora.

* leave fixing BackupPC, gnumeric, krazy2 and virt-v2v to these
packages' maintainers and file BZ's against these packages.


Ralf
