for many "core" modules, UTF-8 and Unicode bugfixes, and ithreads
bugfixes.
The major changes are in the pkgsrc infrastructure to handle Perl and
Perl modules. All pkgsrc-installed Perl modules are now installed in
"vendor" directories, and the perl interpreter has been modifed to
search for libraries in the following order: site, vendor, perl. The
Perl library is stored in a directory that is named for the Perl ABI
version associated with the Perl release, so any updates of Perl to
newer versions can be done "in-place" as long as Perl ABI version
remains the same. All Perl scripts and man pages are stored in
locations that won't conflict between site, vendor, and perl modules,
and a new utility perllink(1) now manages symlinks to those scripts
and man pages under the usual ${LOCALBASE}/bin and ${LOCALBASE}/man/man1.
PERL5_SITEPREFIX may be set to the prefix where local, site-specific
modules will be installed, e.g. PERL5_SITEPREFIX=/usr/local. Note
that modules installed here are completely unmanaged by pkgsrc.
Update the buildlink and tool dependencies on perl to require perl>=5.8.7
to reflect the new locations for Perl modules and the Perl shared
library.
does. This allows us to use dynamic PLISTs for Perl modules that are
built using Module::Build. Bump the PKGREVISION of p5-Module-Build
to 1.
* Drop the use of PERL5_USES_MODULE_BUILD and introduce a new variable
PERL5_MODULE_TYPE that is either "MakeMaker" or "Module::Build" that
names the framework used to build/install the module.
* Split out the variables set in perl5/buildlink3.mk that are also used
by perl5/module.mk into a new file perl5/vars.mk. Move some PERL5_*
variable definitions from pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.use.mk into perl5/vars.mk.
This just centralizes the common PERL5_* definitions into a single
file location.
* Convert the known packages that use Module::Build to set
PERL5_MODULE_TYPE and PERL5_PACKLIST:
