$HOME's parent directory isn't readable by an unprivileged user.
Tested on Linux with unprivileged pkgsrc (DreamHost, where the
problem was encountered) and on Mac OS X with a more typical setup.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
explaining that this should prevent a repeat of the current problem where
binary perl packages built for 5.8.8 can be installed together with
perl 5.10.0 without any warning/error. By the perl numbering scheme,
perl 5.12.0 will be the next maintenance version which installs modules
in a different path than what's used for 5.10.0.
The contents of perl itself doesn't change as a result of this change,
so no revision bump, but a revision bump for all packages which depend
directly on perl is forthcoming, as a workaround for the 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0
transition.
at using p5-* packages built with the new perl from being installed
together with an older version of perl. The p5-* packages will not
work because the new and old perls install modules in different
directories. As a consequence, bump package revision.
A large number of packages have had their internal regression tests
run successfully with this update, including mod_perl for Apache.
Pkgsrc changes: a number of our local patches are no longer needed.

for explanation of each of these points.
outsmart us and call the tool by name in some parts of the build.
eg just "nbsed" instead of "/usr/pkg/bin/nbsed". This can only have
worked before as long as ${PREFIX}/bin was in the user's path.
Fix this by TOOLS_ALIASES.sed+=${TOOLS_SED:T} so that an "nbsed"
is available in the PATH.
=> 9.0 as it breaks the build. This should just be considered a temporary
work around until the actual problem can be fixed as this worked for
Darwin < 9.0.
There are no changes to perl on any other platforms.
This should address PR# 37225
A flaw was found in Perl's regular expression engine. Specially crafted
input to a regular expression can cause Perl to improperly allocate memory,
possibly resulting in arbitrary code running with the permissions of the
user running Perl.
