= Proposed System Wide Change: Perl 5.26 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/perl5.26
Change owner(s): * Jitka Plesníková <jplesnik AT redhat DOT com> * Petr Písař <ppisar AT redhat DOT com>
A new perl 5.26 version brings a lot of changes done over a year of development. Perl 5.26 will be released 5/20/2017. See 5.26.0-RC perldelta for more details about preparing release. http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.26.0-RC1/pod/perldelta.pod
== Detailed Description == New perl is released every year and updates containing mainly bug fixes follow during the year. The 5.26.0 version is stable release this year.
== Scope == Every Perl package will be rebuilt in a dedicated f27-perl build-root against perl 5.26.0 and then if no major problem emerges the packages will be merged back to f27 build-root.
* Proposal owners: New perl and all packages requiring perl or a Perl module will be rebuilt into f27-perl build-root.
* Other developers: Owners of packages that fail to rebuild, mainly perl-sig users, will be asked using Bugzilla to fix or remove their packages from the distribution.
* Release engineering: Release engineers will be asked for new f27-perl build-root inheriting from f27 build-root. After successful finishing the rebuild, they will be asked to merge f27-perl packages back to f27 build-root.
* Policies and guidelines: No policies have to be modified to complete this change.
