before this, trying to access a wild repo would create an empty hash in
%repos. This is pretty harmless, but at some later point, memberships()
would try to use that in a pattern, attempting to match the real repo
being access-checked.
Which is still fine if your repo doesn't look like "libstdc++" AND
you're using some recent perl.
However, for perl 5.8.8, and if the repo has a ++ in it, perl barfs.
Here's a test program to check your perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$base="foo/u1/libstdc++";
$i="foo/u1/libstdc++";
if ( $base =~ /^$i$/ ) {
print 1;
} else {
print 2;
}
On 5.14.2 I get "2". On 5.8.8 I get:
Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^foo/u1/libstdc++ <-- HERE $/ at ./aa.pl line 6.
