grid-packaging-tools @3.6.3_1: mixed perl usage?

Reported by: petrrr Owned by: dennisvd@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: skymoo (Adam Mercer)
Port: grid-packaging-tools

Description

Was looking in some details regarding the Globus TK and found that port grid-packaging-tools uses usually MacPort's perl with one exception. This looks suspect to me. Is there some rational behind or is this a bug?

I CC Adam as well, as he showed always some interest in Globus.

Looks like a bug to me.

Definitely a bug. Not intentional.

Dennis you have not looked after this for quite some while.

Have you still intention to maintain this port? Can we add a second maintainer?

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by petrrr

Sure. BTW: I started looking at Globus 6. It looks like the build system is significantly simplified, GPT is not used any more and some other stuff gets a bit simpler. So maybe we just go straight to Globus 6 packages and this can be removed.

OK, that sounds like a plan. The less maintenance required, the better.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

This port was removed in r144307 (see also #50215) so this ticket becomes irrelevant.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
