It's as much my fault. I've been waiting on the perldeltas to be coalesced
so that I can add the unified dotless-@INC text, and should have jogged
you before now. Presumably something is amiss in the RMG?
The "usual" procedure is that some time after the last 5.25.x release,
all the 5.25.0..n perldeltas are added together into one jumbo perldelta,
but with redundant info removed. For example if 5.25.2 says we changed
something and 5.25.5 says we changed it back, then both entries get
removed from the final combined perldelta.
Normally there's then a period of a month or whatever for everyone to
proof-read and amend it.
Are you in a position to be able to coalesce soon? If not I could have a
go.
