Description (last modified by dbevans (David B. Evans))

All ports that require perl5.12 or p5.12-* ports should be switched to use perl 5.16 versions since that is the Macports default currently.

The list of ports is culled from the following command:

$ port echo depends:perl5.12 or depends:p5.12-*

Ports which require maintainer approval

DONE!

Ports with openmaintainer

DONE!

Ports with nomaintainer

DONE!

Next time please try to change

into something like:

--- Portfile.orig
+++ Portfile

if possible. (I don't know if there's an automated way to do this, I usually do it manually.) I know that there's a -p flag for patching that can strip off the path, but it has been a convention in MacPorts to use -p0.

comment:51 Changed 10 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I believe that ports which weren't fixed count as "maintainer timeout" already? Is it OK to fix a port straight to 5.20 (assuming that all the dependencies are present and that it works of course)?

Replying to mojca@…:

I think the current recommended policy is to depend on the current default version for port perl5 (currently perl5.16). This minimizes the number of different perl versions that need to be simultaneously installed for the casual MacPorts user.

comment:53 Changed 10 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

I totally agree with Dave. We need to stick to using perl 5.16 until such time that Macports switches to perl 5.20.

comment:54 Changed 10 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

And yes, I believe we are long past maintainer timeout and can switch all the ports over.

comment:79 Changed 10 years ago by petrrr

The remaining ports could probably be considered abandoned by now. Should we start compiling "Port Abandoned" tickets?

comment:80 Changed 10 years ago by dbevans (David B. Evans)

As mentioned some time ago in comment:54, any remaining maintained ports that haven't been fixed by their maintainer can be considered fair game to fix by anyone desiring to do so under the maintainer timeout policy. Folks without commit access can attach a patch for review and those with access can just go ahead, commit a fix and add a comment to that effect to this ticket.

Of course, if the maintainers of these ports would like to do the work or if there is a reason why there is a problem with one of their ports, this is a good time to speak up!

At this point, there are only about a dozen left so it won't take much time to clear these if everyone chips in. Once this is done, the way will be paved to go ahead and remove support for perl5.14 and below as jmr has begun to do with p5.8-* in r128785.

Is there any volunteer to open the same kind of ticket as this one for a switch to Perl 5.20? The ticket #46005 is tracking the progress, but I believe that at this point the number of ports that don't support 5.20 yet is small enough that it shouldn't cause any issues any longer.

(Also, last time it took 5 months to close this ticket. If it takes so long again, the missing ports will be either all supporting 5.22 by then or still broken.)

Mojca, since this ticket is closed and your query is not a ticket issue, it would be best to take this discussion to the devel list.

comment:88 Changed 10 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I'm aware of both facts, but I was hoping that one of the people subscribed to this ticket would be willing to step up and collect the ports that need a change. If nobody volunteers, I'll ask on the mailing list.

(And I believe that everyone else subscribed to the ticket should be free to start the transition to 5.20 even if the new ticket isn't opened yet.)

If by 'the transition to 5.20' you mean changing the default perl version to 5.20, then it would be better IMO to develop some concensus on the devel list first. It involves more that just changing the dependencies of these ports.

Please open a discussion there and CC whoever you think might be interested.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
