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.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

- [#17940] Includes :unique and :shared in the builtin types
- From perl 5.8 { __CALLER__::foo => __PACKAGE } is missparsed,
the proper approach is to use { '__CALLER__::foo' => __PACKAGE }.
The documentation is updated to reflect this.

- Updated master_sites
Changes :
- Attribute::Handlers now is core.
- Brought up to date with perl 5.8RC1 version
will be 5.8 if no more changes come in
- [#13686] This changes the behaviour of lexical attributes.
Prior to this lexical attributes were done at a compile time,
and they would loose their attribute on the next run over them.
Now perl 5.8 calls the attribute handler runtime whenever it
hits my.
- [#14448] Fixes cases with too high refcounts on lexical attributes
- [#15945] Do not warn about too late CHECK and INIT block if
A::H is pulled in using a require.
