#50215: grid-packaging-tools: not compatible with perl5.22, Can't use 'defined(@array)' -----------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: dennisvd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: grid-packaging-tools globus-core | -----------------------------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by mojca@…): I'm still confused and lack the complete picture. Can you please add/correct my understanding? Basically: * globus/gridftp are actively developed * `grid-packaging-tools` is broken, no longer developed/maintained (and according to your words hopefully no longer needed in recent versions of globus/gridftp) * you don't care at all if `grid-packaging-tools` gets removed, except that it probably cannot be removed unless `globus-core` gets updated (or removed) * `globus-core` in MacPorts is outdated (#50213) * you would like to get the complete `gtidftp` port implemented at some point (`globus-core` is just a tiny part of the complete picture) * you already put a great deal of effort into https://github.com/dvandok /globus-macports, but you lack time and motivation at the moment to finish the job * a while ago you requested inclusion of `globus-core` (#39280) and `grid-packaging-tools` (#38801) which were both added, while other parts that would be needed were not yet finished and/or included If I understand the situation correctly and in case that `globus-core` is "useless" on its own (without all the other sugars from the above mentioned repository) and if we currently have no manpower to bring `globus-core` up to date + add all other packages, it might be better to keep the development on GitHub (and put the latest version of the `Portfile` there as well) and first find a new maintainer willing to complete the enormous amount of work that already went into this. Please advise. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50215#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
