to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
- Updating package for p5 module Getopt::Long to 2.38
- Set license to artistic-2.0
Upstream changes:
* Bugfix for Ticket 35759: First arg to callback function evaluates
to false when used in bool context.
* Fix problem with prototypes of GetOptionsFrom* functions.
* Fix restoring default die handler.
* Bugfix for Ticket 24941: Autoabbrev with + incorrect.

While here mark this package as not requiring any compiler (empty
USE_LANGUAGES variable).
Changes since last packaged version (2.35):
Changes in version 2.37
-----------------------
* Bugfix: With gnu_compat, --foo= will no longer trigger "Option
requires an argument" but return the empty string.
Changes in version 2.36
-----------------------
**************** WARNING -- EXPERIMENTAL CODE AHEAD ****************
* Parsing options from an arbitrary array
The entry point GetOptionsFromArray (exported on demand) can be used
to parse command line options that are not passed in via @ARGV, but
using an arbitrary array.
use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptionsFromArray);
$ret = GetOptionsFromArray(\@myopts, ...);
* Parsing options from an arbitrary string
The entry point GetOptionsFromString (exported on demand) can be
used to parse command line options that are not passed in via @ARGV,
but using an arbitrary string.
use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptionsFromString);
$ret = GetOptionsFromString($optstring, ...);
Note that upon completion, no arguments may remain in the string.
If arguments may remain, call it in list context:
($ret, $args) = GetOptionsFromString($optstring, ...);
@$args will have the remaining arguments.
**************** END EXPERIMENTAL CODE ****************
* Number values for options may include underscores for readability
(just like Perls numbers).
* Bugfix for Ticket #19432 (found and fixed by khali).
* Bugfix to make it cooperate with the bignum pragma. Thanks to Merijn
and Yves.
* Various small fixes to make the test suite run under 5.004_05.
* More examples (skeletons).
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.
The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function
called GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for
command line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means
that options have long names instead of single letters, and are
introduced with a double dash "--". Support for bundling of command
line options, as was the case with the more traditional single-letter
approach, is provided but not enabled by default.
