#44644: p5.8-compress-snappy: missing parent.pm; clean up dependencies -----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: p5.8-compress-snappy | -----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): Replying to [comment:4 devans@…]:
While the dependency could probably be added, it would make more sense
to simply drop older versions of Perl and figure out which other dependencies could be removed.
This is true but until there is consensus on reducing the number of perl
branches supported, it should probably be fixed. It's a two-fold question: * is it ok to remove a branch only for a certain subset of ports * should we remove branches for all ports I sometimes simply do the first one if an older perl version causes problems. I think it would be easy to reach the consensus to remove 5.8 and 5.10, but it would be nice to implement "`replaced_by`" functionality somehow. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44644#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
