#49940: obsolete perls: remove perl5.8 perl5.10 perl5.12 perl5.14 from repository, update p5-graveyard -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: devans@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: perl5.8 perl5.10 perl5.12 perl5.14 | p5-graveyard | -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): My opinion: * Any tiny change in that file leads to enormous compilation times on the buildbots; if anything, I would try to remove all the `p5-foo` ports ASAP, ideally before any such change. Officially it's not been a full year since these subports have been added though, but it will soon be. (And then we'll soon need to add replacements for 5.16, 5.18 (and potentially 5.20)) * Is it too soon to auto-upgrade any `perl5.x` to `perl5.22`? * `emer` is the maintainer of 5.18, but if we get his approval, we could make a single port with a number of subports for `perl5.16` ... `perl5.22` and add all the other obsolete perl ports could live in that file (which would be a more natural place for them) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49940#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
