about the Perl version. Instead of baking the version number into the
PLIST, control it from the Makefile. Also, depend on the current
major/minor version of Perl. Ideally this version should come from
something in lang/perl5, but there isn't any obvious way to do that.
But at least now this only has to be updated in one place when Perl
changes.
Bump PKGREVISION because of the depends changes.
Lots of upstream changes since 1.10.28 (three years ago).
pkgsrc changes:
- the database location has changed to ${VARBASE}/db/dpkg
- man pages are installed
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
