#50512: perl5: obsolete subports perl5.16 perl5.18 perl5.20 --------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: mojca@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: perl5 | --------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by dluke@…): Not many comments because no one cares about the old perls (for some sets of 'no one'). The reality is that it's really easy to keep cruft like that around because it keeps working and no one complains. However, we do our users a dis-service distributing software that's not maintained upstream. For the very few use-cases where people actually need the old version, they can resurrect the port (and/or someone could run an alternate ports tree with just "old unmaintained crap" for those who really want to have it). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50512#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
