Re: git 0.99.9: Subversion importer breaks RPM generation (rpmbuild bug)

... which RPM thinks means that you need a Perl module called v5.8.0 
which doesn't, of course, exist.  This is arguably an rpmbuild bug, but 
it nevertheless breaks at the moment.

I'm afraid I cannot update any of the kernel.org machines to 0.99.9 
until these problems have been cleaned up.

Fair enough.  We'd work it around just like we handle
send-email.
