Ports should require perl5.28 instead of 5.26

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

All ports depending on Perl 5.26 should switch to 5.28. (See also an older ticket #55208.)

Below is a list of ports by maintainer as obtained via:

port info --line --index --name --maintainer depends:'perl5\.26' or depends:'p5\.26-' | grep -v 'p5-' | grep -v 'p5.26-' | sort > list.txt

and might contain errors.

perl5-1.0.tcl: set fallback default branch to 5.28

See #58361

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

A number of these port declare perl variants. In these cases, I suggest the following:

• use the perl5 portgroup to declare variants
• add 5.28 to perl5.branches where missing unless the port doesn't support it
• don't override perl5.default_branch, let the portgroup select the default
• if you need to make sure that a port's dependencies use the same variant, use perl5.variant with require_active_variants

If this is done, when port perl5's default is set to +perl5_28 the others will follow suit. I've already set the portgroup fallback to 5.28 for the case where perl5 is not installed.

various xfce ports: add build dependency on perl5.28

These ports configure perl5.28 at build time for compatibility
with intltool, which, in turn, has dependencies on
perl modules that declare perl5.28 as depends_lib.
This change just makes the dependency visible for those who
might wonder. No change in installed content.

Update status table

• gpredict has no direct perl dependency, only uses intltool at build time which depends on perl5.28
• liboping* can build with perl bindings but they are disabled

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

I think that this ticket can now be closed although I'd ask @mojca to double check before doing so.

As far as I can see, the only ports left that depend on perl5.26 are the subports

subversion-perlbindings-5.26    dluke@geeklair.net danielluke
xapian-bindings-perl5.26        ryandesign@macports.org ryandesign,openmaintainer

which should be no problem since they have perl5.28 equivalents.

Just in time as perl 5.32.0 RC0 was released today!

​https://github.com/Perl/perl5/releases/tag/v5.32.0-RC0

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Closing as fixed with no dissenting comments. Please reopen if something's been missed.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Thank you very much for taking care of this.

I would say that the two ports can likely be deleted (replaced_by) then.
