I would like to get both the perl runtime and the collection of perl
modules we ship updated to something recent.
I have packages for runtime/perl-530 (5.30.1) and several of our easiest
modules (those with no additional module dependencies) built for that
runtime. Before I move on to the more difficult modules, I want to make
certain I'm on the right track.
I have several questions about the sun-solaris perl module collection, and
I'm hoping someone has some guidance.
- this is the only perl module we ship that is in the
/runtime/perl-NNN/module/sun-solaris
namespace, rather than
/library/perl-5/sun-solaris-NNN
Anyone know why it's in the /runtime namespace, rather than the
/library namespace? I'm trying to understand why it's an
exception that doesn't match any of the other module naming conventions.
- The component we currently ship (runtime/perl-522/module/sun-solaris)
was not generated from the current oi-userland/perl/sun-solaris sources.
The files in that directory are still set to perl-516 and the packaged
component includes PerlGcc and Exacct, both of which appear to have
been dropped from runtime/perl-522/module/sun-solaris.
Was the source code moved somewhere else (I've looked and haven't found
it) or were the changes that built runtime/perl-522/module/sun-solaris
perhaps never committed?
I'm mainly trying to determine whether I should include Exacct when I
update the sun-solaris module, or drop it as the perl-522 has apparently
done. PerlGcc should definitely be dropped.
- once I have sun-solaris and remaining modules packaged for perl-530,
what's the easiest method (from the perspective of the core developers)
to proceed?
- a "meta" pull request, that references each individual pull request?
- make 530 and modules available before obsoleting/removing perl-524?
- how do we go about eventually getting rid of perl-522?
I know that long-term we don't want to be providing 3 versions of perl,
I'm just not certain what the transition process should look like.
