The residual changes would be a removal of Crypt-SSLeay and IPC-Cmd,
while IPC-Run, Test-NoWarnings and Test-Tester would still be supplied
by the build dependencies. Unless someone has a strong opinion that
these two should be dropped, I'd continue to have them available.
Going forward I think this should provide a smooth transition:
1) ITA perl_vendor and provide an umbrella plus all dependencies for
perl-5.14.2. I'd use current versions for these, not the original ones
from perl_vendor.
2) The re-builds and additional distributions for perl-5.18 will be
provided as test versions.
3) Coinciding with the perl-5.18.2 release, move everything from test to
current.
4) Optional: obsolete the perl_vendor umbrella package.
Regards,
Achim.
