Hi everyone,

Attached is a series of patches (my first!) to package biber (a
BibTeX replacement written in Perl). It's kind of a work in
progress, I still have some problems :

1. The build process spits out permission errors for several
packages during the strip phase. It doesn't result in a failure,
so I am not sure what to do.

2. The perl-text-bibtex package cannot validate its runpath
because it doesn't look for a shared library in the right
directory. I disabled the validate-runpath phase, but surely there
is a better way.

3. I didn't use the git-fetch method for the biber package
because it always pulls an old (1.8) version from github.

4. Finally, I am not sure the executable works, I still need to
test it.

Let me now if something else doesn't look alright.


Thanks,

Clément
