The following reply was made to PR ports/64377; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Lars Thegler <lars@thegler.dk> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: toshiya@saitoh.nu, Anton Berezin <tobez@tobez.org> Subject: Re: ports/64377: correct perl module depencency in net/smokeping Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 10:46:30 +0100 Hrm. On closer investigation (and edification by tobez), this particular patch should *NOT* be committed. These ported Perl modules do _not_ overwrite core Perl modules. Perl modules supplied with the Perl distributions on FreeBSD (system on 4.x, ports/lang/perl5{,.8} on 5.x) are installed in PRIVLIB, and 3rd-party (ports-)modules in SITELIB. For instance, p5-Digest-MD5 has an explicit "CONFIGURE_ARGS= INSTALLDIRS=site" for this purpose. The FreeBSD Perls have SITELIB before PRIVLIB in @INC, so installed ports-modules overshadow any core modules. We still need the dependencies, so that ports-modules will get upgraded when necessary. At least, that's how I understand it. /Lars
