It's great to follow author's recommendations on deprecating stuff, so I'm very much in favor of that. The problem here is that there are still ports that depend on it. For example, I have the following: Information for p5-Version-Requirements-0.101020_1: Required by: p5-CPAN-Meta-2.112621 p5-Module-Build-0.3800_1 There is an update in the queue for the former (which I assume is for this issue), but not the latter. Also, there is no UPDATING entry. If I just do 'portmaster -o devel/p5-CPAN-Meta p5-Version-Requirements-0.101020_1' will that allow p5-Module-Build-0.3800_1 to continue working? It seems doubtful, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. Finally, the DEPRECATED message says: Use CPAN::Meta::Requirements, which is a drop-in replacement It took me some time to figure out that this is not a separate port, it's part of p5-CPAN-Meta-2.112621 already.
