The following reply was made to PR ports/160759; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, freebsd@beardz.net Cc: Subject: Re: ports/160759: [PATCH] devel/p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker: update to 6.59 Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:33:14 -0700 Hi, I maintain ExtUtils::MakeMaker. This patch is a correct solution to the conflict between ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::Install. MakeMaker is supposed to depend on ExtUtils::Install, but to do so normally would introduce a dependency loop. A less invasive solution would be to delete the contents of bundled. Make sure the bundled dependencies are marked as package dependencies. PS If there is some sort of environment variable FreeBSD sets while creating a package, I could have MakeMaker watch for that. It would not use the bundled versions and instead declare them as dependencies. Thanks, Schwern
