Some of the ports are newer | than those in perl5.8, others are the same, still others are older. |=20 | However, what this does mean, that the following sequence: |=20 | cd ${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5.8; make install | cd ${PORTSDIR}/{one-of-the-ports-above}; make install deinstall |=20 | will end up removing parts of lang/perl5.8 port, resulting in much | hilarity. |=20 | With our local ports tree, I've simply added code to these ports to tag | them as BROKEN for appropriate PERL_VERSION value, and then start the | slow slog through the rest of the ports/packages we build to adjust | dependencies accordingly, when a port tries to bring in one of these | "troublemakers" as a dependency. |=20 | This is a pretty disgusting hack, so I'm soliciting comments as to the | right way to do this. I'd say just put a : CONFIGURE_ARGS=3D INSTALLDIRS=3Dsite to those which are newer and the same, and update the older ones. --=20 Mathieu Arnold
