instead on perl>=5.8.0. Bump the PKGREVISIONs of the following packages
due to the possible perl dependency changes after the removal of
libperl:
audio/ices-mp3
databases/postgresql73-plperl
databases/postgresql74-plperl
textproc/eperl
www/ap-perl
PostgreSQL configure/build infrastructure tries very hard to separate
rpath flags from other LDFLAGS, which is completely unnecessary in
pkgsrc since the wrapper scripts are smart enough to deal with it on
their own. In this case, the GNU configure script was stripping out
the rpath to libperl.so when setting perl_embed_ldflags, so modify
the configure script to not do this.
Also re-enable this package since it's possible to load the plperl.so
language module again. I tested this with:
createdb foo
createlang -d foo plperl
If perl is built with thread support, loading the language module would
crash PostgreSQL on NetBSD - loading shared module linked against libpthread
doesn't work if the main binary isn't linked against libpthread.
For this reason, this package is currently marked as BROKEN, and only
here to save packaging work for person who'd want to finish this.
