This package fails to build from source with Perl 5.38 (currently in
experimental.)

I assume the diagnostics have changed again and it's just the tests that
need adjusting, but I haven't checked properly.

Hi Niko,

Thanks for the bug report.

Will look into it, but may take a while.

That one looks familiar, but IIRC was a red herring.

Now would be a good time :)

As the perl 5.38 transition is immanent, the bug's severity has been
raised to serious; and bot dam and me failed to understand the test
system so I guess this is now your turn :)

Yep. Got mail about the auto removal a week ago or so. (I'm subscribed

Upstream might have been faster this time than I am these days: 3.0.0
is out: https://metacpan.org/dist/Embperl

http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Embperl+3.0.0 doesn't look too
well for 5.38, though. I will see.

Most if not all our changes seem to have been merged according to the
changelog.

Ah, cool, *looks*, "2 days ago", nice.

From a quick look this seems to be the same error as in our bug
report.
