Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
- patch-ar and patch-as to avoid dependending on python are no longer
necessary since the introduction of --disable-modular-tests
- patch-co has been committed to glib in 2360d04e
- other patches cargo culted across
- statfs test was fixed in glib with commit afa82ae8
- no longer provide man pages as that requires docbook & xsltproc
Many changes in glib since 2.32.4, especially GDBus improvements.
See NEWS file http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/plain/NEWS?id=2.34.0 for details.
* GApplication: can now have a NULL application ID
* g_clear_object: fix warnings when using it on C++ (due to lack of
ability to implicitly cast void*)
* GDBus:

- fix up a few bugs that use of this bus uncovered in GDBus
- escape nonce files in dbus addressess (think 'c:\')
- support initial underscores in dbus codegen namespace (for private)
* Fix misdetection of GNUstep as Cocoa (for the MacOS GSettings backend)
* make sure configure fails if AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF cannot detect the alignment
* GAppInfo: overwrite the DISPLAY only if it is set in the launch context
* glib/tests/date: force US locale running the GDateTime tests
* GSocketControlMessage: Don't warn about unknown messages
* Resources:
- fix broken use of GVDB on big endian machines

Not bumping PKGREVISION because the package did not build before.
