#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 larryv@…): Replying to [ticket:49940 devans@…]:
Unless someone can come up with a good reason not to do so, I propose to remove these ports at years end and add them to the mausoleum section of p5-graveyard declaring them obsolete
Is there some reason we can’t just obsolete the ports [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.practices.html#development .obsolete-portgroup as usual] (i.e., clearing them and adding the `obsolete-1.0` portgroup)? Graveyards are meant for storing replaced subports so that updating the main ports doesn’t trigger spurious build failures. This doesn’t apply to the Perl ports because they’re implemented as standalone ports. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49940#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
