#49982: perl5: change default perl from 5.16 to 5.22 -----------------------+---------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: perl5 | -----------------------+---------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): Replying to [comment:6 devans@…]:
In addition, in r143602, I've incremented the revision on all the ports that use the perl5 port group to create variants since they will all now use +perl5_22 as the default variant instead of +perl5_16.
What I don't understand is the following: * if users have `foo +perl5_16` installed, they won't get `foo +perl5_22` with an upgrade until we actually remove the `perl5_16` variant (but they will have to rebuild the port for no benefit) * buildbots will build the binaries (which is nice) Wouldn't it be better to just touch those ports or force-build them on the buildbots? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49982#comment:11> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
