Do you have a quick command you were using to rebuild in stage 1? Not really, I just go `nom build .#perl" | 22:47:58 |

| stigo | For the next staging cycle we've (@marcusramberg and I) been thinking thinking to: 1) Update perlPackages 2) Remove `perl538` and only keep one `perl5` package going forward | 08:36:32 |

| stigo | * For the next staging cycle we've been thinking (Marcus and I) to:
- Complete a bulk update of
perlPackages
- Remove
perl538 and only keep one perl5 package going forward
| 08:39:20 |
| stigo | Keeping two perls seems to have limited value imho, as the versions are usually quite backwards compatible, and there are very few references in nixpkgs to perl538.
I think keeping a perl5 and perl5Packages makes more sense and instead add a perl7 when/if it is released, if it breaks some backwards compat.

 ajs124 | Sounds like a plan.
I trust you to have the insight to make this decision. | 08:46:58 |
| stigo | (I do really hope perl7 will break backwards compat by enabling modern features by default and disabling some old cruft, but... dreams) | 08:50:03 |

| stigo | Started working on a new set of perl updates in the perl-updates branch, currently it removes perl538 and keeps one perl as perl5. This PR will contain a mass updated as well: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/349743 | 11:27:25 |
