Description (last modified by mojca (Mojca Miklavec))

Support for Perl < 5.16 has been removed (#46322). I would like to request removing variants perl5_10, perl5_12, perl5_14 and introduce variants for 5.18 and 5.20, ideally using something like this (if I understand the functionality properly): 

perl5.require_variant yes 
perl5.conflict_variants yes 
perl5.branches 5.16 5.18 5.20 
perl5.create_variants ${perl5.branches}

I added biblatex-biber and intltool to the list just because it would be nice to use the functionality from the PortGroup rather than "reinventing the wheel" in every port separately.

(See also #43193, r125264, r129992. And maybe we need some documentation about that functionality.)
