I just don't see a need for 'use.perl port' anymore. 1. 'use.perl port' does a poor job of editing /etc/make.conf -- old variable settings aren't removed. 2. When cleaning up the result of 10 invocations of 'use.perl port' over time, I inevitably miss one. And it of course is always not the current version. This causes me to hose my perl5.8 installation the next time I build a port that depends on perl. 3. I know some people using FreeBSD in appliances that have been very puzzled that their perl related changes in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk would not take affect -- because they were unknowingly being overridden by 'use.perl port's /etc/make.conf values. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) ----- End forwarded message ----- From owner-freebsd-perl@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Aug 29 09:21:40 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-perl@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A312F16A4CE; Sun, 29 Aug 2004 09:21:40 +0000 (GMT) Received: from plouf.absolight.net (plouf.absolight.net [212.43.217.12]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 43E7243D2D; Sun, 29 Aug 2004 09:21:40 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from mat@FreeBSD.org) X-Original-To: tobez@freebsd.org X-Original-To: perl@freebsd.org X-Original-To: obrien@freebsd.org Received: from nescarba.in.t-online.fr (nescarba.in.t-online.fr [213.44.126.9]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (Client did not present a certificate) by plouf.absolight.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4237E3F98; Sun, 29 Aug 2004 11:21:34 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 11:21:45 +0200 From: Mathieu Arnold To: obrien@freebsd.org, perl@freebsd.org, tobez@freebsd.org Message-ID: <024EEE63C420A56E7307E7AB@nescarba.in.t-online.fr> In-Reply-To: <20040829090603.GA38690@dragon.nuxi.com> References: <20040829090603.GA38690@dragon.nuxi.com> X-Mailer: Mulberry/3.1.5 (Win32) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="==========5493E04559AA3518E071==========" X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.64-abso_2004012301 (2004-01-11) on plouf.absolight.net by root@absolight.fr X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at plouf.absolight.net X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-4.403 tagged_above=-10 required=5 tests=AWL, BAYES_00 X-Spam-Level: Subject: Re: (FWD) [PATCH] disable perl 5.8's spamming of /etc/make.conf X-BeenThere: freebsd-perl@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: maintainer of a number of perl-related ports List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2004 09:21:40 -0000 --==========5493E04559AA3518E071========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline +-le 29/08/2004 02:06 -0700, David O'Brien =E9crivait : | tobez doesn't seem to be reading FreeBSD mail.

Hi David, Sorry I did not answer your mail before, since I was on vacation. This patch would not do, since replacing -ge with -lt will lead to use.perl port being executed automatically for 4.X, which we definitely not want. Actually, I am not entirely sure that use.perl is obsolete in 5.X and 6-CURRENT, since it also tinkers with /etc/manpath.config. I think the right thing to do would be to make use.perl script slightly more intelligent and _edit_ make.conf instead of appending to it. Alternatively, we can get rid of use.perl for 5.X and 6-CURRENT, take care of manpath.config in some other way (probably by properly maintaining manpath.config in the system sources, which has its own ugly side), and then do something like if [ $osreldate -ge 500032 -a $osreldate -le 502100 ] ; then in pkg-install, so that we still get the `traditional' behavior in older 5.X's.

I like your alternative suggestion, and in fact highly prefer it. We could also make 'use.perl' only handle the manpath.config part. I just don't see the need for PERL_VER, PERL_VERSION, PERL_ARCH, NOPERL, NO_PERL, and NO_PERL_WRAPPER in every /etc/make.conf in the world on 5.3 and later. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
