Description

There are still over 300 ports lacking support for perl5.18 and perl5.20, so I'm not listing them all, but I would like to encourage port maintainers to add support to their ports and do some testing for compatibility with the latest perl, and maybe do other kinds of updates to their perl ports.

Of course one can also close the ticket by automatically adding support for 5.18 and 5.20 to all remaining ports. It would be nice to update ports to the latest version before adding support for 5.18 and 5.20 to save some resources.

The list of ports still lacking support for Perl 5.20: 

port echo subport:p5.16 and not subport:p5.20

Other counting commands: 

port echo subport:p5.16 and not subport:p5.20 and maintainer:nomaintainer   | wc -l
port echo subport:p5.16 and not subport:p5.20 and maintainer:openmaintainer | wc -l
port echo subport:p5.16 and not subport:p5.20 and not maintainer:maintainer | wc -l

Progress: current count of ports left without 5.18 5.20 support is 190 due largely to the efforts of mojca in the past few weeks. Good work and thanks!

Here's an intermediate report about nomaintainer ports.

These ports are 32-bit only (so a bit more difficult to test, see #46411, #46461):

  • p5-javascript-spidermonkey (r132540, #46758)
  • p5-mac-appleevents-simple (r131409)
    p5-mac-apps-launch
    p5-mac-glue
    p5-mac-osa-simple

There were some issues with these ports:

Others:

Feel free to work on any of these.

Once we are done, we should create another ticket similar to #44405.

As far as openmaintainer and maintained ports are concerned: we would like to do three things (in more or less that order):

  • do some clean-up:
    • add modeline
    • replace tabs with spaces, possibly align to 20 spaces
    • replace md5 with rmd160 and sha256
    • check dependencies
    • run port -v -t test [portname]
  • update to the latest version
  • add support for 5.18 and 5.20

I would like to ask all maintainers to look into their ports and fix them.

If any ports should not be updated, if support for 5.18/5.20 is not desired for some reason, or if you don't want to see any whitespace changes to be applied, please reply in this thread, else other maintainers should be free to proceed working with the remaining perl modules, calling maintainer timeout.

(If anyone has time to create a list of ports that are either outdated or lacking support for 5.18/5.20, sorted by maintainer, that would be nice. Or rather a command/script to create such a list ...)

I think I only added those p5 ports of mine for svk - you can nomaintainer them (and then do whatever you want) or I'll nomaintainer them when I get some spare time.

I've nomaintainered them all. I updated the perl branches for most of them (I just tested to see if they built).

I'm guessing I'm CC'd on this because of p5-app-ack, which I haven't even used in years. Someone can go ahead an nomaintainer this, or I'll submit a patch to nomaintainer it when I get time.

No need. I have done this in r132170.

A lot of work has been done by devans and others to make this mission almost complete.

But just to make it clear: what are we still planning to do before closing this ticket? (If we just keep track of outdated Perl modules, the ticket will remain open forever.)

We should probably create a bunch of "port abandoned" tickets for (some of?) the maintainers listed above. Volunteers welcome.

The only ports still missing support for 5.20 are the following ones:

Should we wait for them or may we close the ticket before all those ports get fixed? (Then again, if ports are broken with 5.16 already, we could just as well add 5.20 next to 5.16 and the port won't be any more broken than it used to be.)

This tickets contains a lot of maintainers in CC and most of them aren't affected by this ticket any longer. (I wouldn't like to generate too much e-mail traffic with this ticket with further discussions. And ... I would like to close the ticket at some point. The sooner the better.)

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

I'm closing this ticket. It has been superseded by #48313 at least (except for the list of inactive maintainers which we might still want to look into one day).

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
