#27296: perl5 group: new livecheck.regex pattern (recent CPAN changes break existing pattern) -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: larry+macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: haspatch | Port: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- For reasons as yet unknown to me, CPAN has changed their HTML so that many plaintext strings are now encoded using numeric character entities. This breaks the existing livecheck.regex pattern because the module name it looks for is now in encoded form. Here is a patch that uses some new(?) JavaScript code in each page as the target for the regex pattern. Since it's a simpler pattern, this may be preferable even in the case where CPAN reverts back to the unencoded strings. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27296> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
