Ports should require perl5.16 not perl5.12

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

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

• dvdrip (web.de:marioscheel):
• fwknop (blair):
• ghsum (pu-gh.com:rod):

Ports with openmaintainer

• cyrus-imapd (jmpp,openmaintainer): Cannot currently use perl 5.16, see #44797

Ports with nomaintainer

• nfsen (nomaintainer):

Patch for www/wml

[cfaerber@…]

I've uploaded a patch for www/wml. Can someone with commit rights please add it to the repository? Thanks.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

www/wml committed in r122694. Thanks.

Next time please try to change

--- a/dports/www/wml/Portfile
+++ b/dports/www/wml/Portfile

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.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@rod: Your patchfile for ghsum changes the version from 0.1.0 to 0.0.2. If you are really intending to downgrade the version, then the epoch needs to increased so users will see the change. Please confirm if that is your intention.

Patch for ghsum

Doh! Corrected.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@rod: The checksums need to be updated for the new versions in your patches. I have updated thieriot in r123340 and r123341.

I do not like the way perl is handled by these ports too much. But I have no idea if it could be improved in this particular case neither.

Patch for Pearl

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@rod: For some reason with the new patches I cannot download either ghsum or pearl. I see an error like this:

Error: Failed to fetch pearl: The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_mports_trunk_dports_devel_pearl/pearl/main.log for details.

[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)?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Replying to mojca@…:

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)?

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.

[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.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

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