Hello!
I added the perl5-entry to my DEFAULT_VERSIONS and attempted to build
lang/perl5.26. It kept yelling at me, that my default versions is not
set right, which is demonstrably false:
# make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.26 -V DEFAULT_VERSIONS
gcc=5 ruby=2.4 perl=5.26
Despite the above setting, the PERL5_DEFAULT gets set to 2.4:
# make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.26 -V PERL5_DEFAULT
5.24
The only way to force it is by setting the PERL5_DEFAULT explicitly.
This elicits more reprimand, but the build proceeds:
# make PERL5_DEFAULT=5.26 install
/!\ WARNING /!\
The variable PERL5_DEFAULT is set and it should only be defined through
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=perl5=5.26 in /etc/make.conf
This behaviour has never been supported and will be removed on
2017-01-31
It looks like 2.4 is set as the default version, when the
${LOCALBASE}/bin/perl does not exist. Has anyone tested the logic
without /any/ perl installed on the system?
Please, advise. Thank you!
