This week we invited Stig to discuss some general policy matters around security announcements and related development work.
We also talked about improvements to the way we handle maintenance releases and backporting bugfixes (in general, not just security-related ones) with the aim to make the process smoother and hope to do it a little more often.
The three of us discussed:
@INC handling should be improved, but there are still outstanding questions and issues that overlap with build modules, installer tools, and so on. Plan is to publish a partial document so far as a draft PR and get others to comment further.caller reported line numbers in expressions involving anonymous subroutines (Pull #24396) has caused more BBC fallout than might have been expected. So far it doesn’t need any immediate response from PSC but we continue to keep an eye on it.
