#17074: Correct autoconf perl dependency (again) -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: mlk@alum.mit.edu | Owner: mcalhoun@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: autoconf, perl Port: autoconf | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by mlk@alum.mit.edu): Ah. So is "perl5" the new "perl5.8" and soon-to-be version 5.10 as well? In other words, should I be updating my MacPorts install of perl from "perl5.8" to "perl5", even though they conflict right now? I would have hoped that the slight change in the autoconf Portfile would not have made such a big deal ... that "perl5" and "perl5.8" would first have been revised so that they didn't conflict. Oddly enough, this latest autoconf installed even without "perl5" being fully installed, probably because ${prefix}/bin/perl is already there (provided by "perl5.8"). Thanks for helping to straighten out the perl issue; I hope it comes smoothly and soon, so-as to avoid the issue this ticket is regarding - in other ports at least. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17074#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
