I've updated our patches for perl 5.30.0 and I'd like to get some other folks to kick the tyres. I doubt it's quite ready to become system perl just yet, but I have been running it on a test machine for a while now.
This summer has been surprisingly good at keeping me from spending much time on OpenBSD, but after being on a beach next week I should have time again. (Which is why I'm sending it now, so yinz can test it while I'm relaxing.) One thing that I know happened is that Locale::Codes and related modules were removed from core and I haven't yet had time to look at fixing the things that showed up when sthen@ grepped for that in the extracted ports tree. The full perldelta is here, and the perl5-porters have been hard at work on deprecating a lot of terrible features so they can turn them into something better: https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.30.0/pod/perldelta.pod It would be nice to get feedback on some of the architectures I don't have, and a bulk ports build to see what sort of fallout happens there. The logs for what I do have are here. https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/tree/master/build_logs/5.30.0 Which are alpha, amd64, arm64, armv7, i386, macppc, and octeon. I did have some failures with capturing output from forked processes on my alpha, so that was a bit odd, but I haven't yet gotten around to figuring out if that's a new failure or a new test. For running the perl test suite, you can follow the instructions on github, repeated here: https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl download the patches and scripts https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/archive/master.tar.gz and extract someplace or git clone https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl.git download perl-5.30.0.tar.gz into the same directory https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/X/XS/XSAWYERX/perl-5.30.0.tar.gz cd to someplace you have room run /path/to/OpenBSD-perl/build_perl wait send me the log file(s) it generates You can download a pre-patched version of perl that can be extracted to replace src/gnu/usr.bin/perl for building a system with the new perl: https://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/OpenBSD-perl-5.30.0.tar.gz I also have what should be a mostly correct sets/lists patch for building a release. https://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/OpenBSD-perl-5.30.0-sets_lists.patch There's also patch file that should apply to a -current tree updating to perl 5.30, copy it into /usr/src (or adjust the paths below) and follow these ugly instructions. You'll still need the sets lists patch if you're planning to build a release. https://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/OpenBSD-perl-5.30.0.patch patch -p0 -E < perl-5.30.0.patch # Remove patch cruft find gnu/usr.bin/perl -name '*.orig' -delete # Add and remove binary and zero sized files that patch doesn't understand grep -B1 -e '^Index:' -e 'Binary files /tmp/.* and /dev/null differ' \ perl-5.30.0.patch | sed -ne 's/^diff -N //p' | while read f; do if [ -e $f ]; then rm $f; else touch $f; fi; done # Remove empty directories, or those with only a CVS directory in them cd gnu/usr.bin/perl && find -d . \ \( -type d -o -path '*/CVS' -prune \) \ ! -name CVS \ -exec test -e {}/CVS \; \ -execdir sh -c 'test $( ls -1 {} | grep -v '^CVS/$' | wc -l ) -eq 0' \; \ -exec rm -r {} \; l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com ($do || !$do) && undef($try) ; # Master of Perl, Yoda is. Hmmmm?
