Ports needing revbump after perl5 update to 5.12.3

[ak.ml@…]

A few ports have installed perl modules and were not revbumped since r76604. They need either a revbump or to be recompiled in order to work with perl 5.12.3.

dpkg
libproxy
rpm52

The other rpm* ports might need a revbump as well: rpm, rpm45, rpm50, rpm51.

For those who want to check their system, here's a basic command to list the packages which have files installed in 5.8.9 directories:

$ find \
    '/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9' \
    '/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9' \
    '/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9' \
    -type f \
-print0 \
| xargs -0 port provides \
| sed -e 's,^.* is provided by: ,,;' \
| sort \
| uniq

I have a MacIntel with Snow Leopard 10.6.6

None of the rpm ports are using perl5.

Replying to afb@…:

None of the rpm ports are using perl5.

#28636 seems to suggest otherwise, though it's still not clear that a rev bump is needed.

After recompilation:

$ port contents rpm52 |grep -i perl
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level/RPM.pm
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level/RPM/Constant.pm

  /opt/local/lib/rpm/find-requires.perl
  /opt/local/lib/rpm/perl.prov
  /opt/local/lib/rpm/perl.req
  /opt/local/lib/rpm/perldeps.pl

It's likely that the other rpm* ports also install a perl module.

[afb@…]

They do install a perl module, just that it was supposed to use perl5.8 or optionally +perl5.10.

[afb@…]

Fixed the perl versions of rpm and rpm52, deleted port rpm45, obsoleted ports rpm50 and rpm51.

• r76681 (rpm)
• r76682 (rpm52)

Backporting support for python 2.7 and perl 5.12, from rpm 5.3 to rpm 5.2, is doable (if needed)...

rpm52 has the variants:
   docs: API documentation
   perl5_10: use perl 5.10 instead of perl 5.8
   python26: use python 2.6 instead of python 2.5
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

Apparently the perl update breaks rrdtool too, at least here. Right after the update scripts using rrdtool won't work anymore.

Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC

[bdebes@…]

I have an irssi script (nicklist.pl) that can no longer locate the Term::ReadKey module ("port installed" shows I have p5-term-readkey) after upgrading perl to 5.12. Not certain this is related, but it seems to be. Hope this helps.
