Packages are built on the earliest supported release of a branch; never from the stable branch. These packages will be built from 11.1 until it goes EOL a couple months after 11.2 release. Breakage of packages from an earlier release of a branch is not ideal, so it would still be most helpful if someone could bissect this so that we can assess the breakage and figure out next steps before it becomes a bigger problem with the impending release. I've heard good things about the aforementioned devel/p5-App-SVN-Bisect for these purposes. Thanks, Kyle Evans
