#44654: cpan2port improvements -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: contrib | Version: Keywords: | Port: cpan2port -------------------------+-------------------------------- * try to figure out if there is some desired order of keys (perl5.branches/perl5.setup/licence/maintainer/...) * properly implement `if {${perl5.major} != ""} {` and put dependencies inside the block * description is often missing, but `META.yml` usually contains `abstract:` that could be used * sort dependencies alphabetically * something seems to be wrong with dependencies, see `cpan2port -t Mouse` for example: {{{ build_requires: Test::Exception: 0 Test::Exception::LessClever: 0 Test::Fatal: 0 Test::LeakTrace: 0 Test::More: 0.88 Test::Output: 0 Test::Requires: 0 Try::Tiny: 0 configure_requires: CPAN::Meta: 0 CPAN::Meta::Prereqs: 0 Devel::PPPort: 3.19 ExtUtils::ParseXS: 3.22 Module::Build: 0.4005 Module::Build::XSUtil: 0 requires: Scalar::Util: 1.14 XSLoader: 0.02 perl: 5.008005 }}} But it generates: {{{ depends_build-append \ port:p5${perl5.major}-test-exception \ port:p5${perl5.major}-test-exception-lessclever \ port:p5${perl5.major}-test-fatal \ port:p5${perl5.major}-test-leaktrace \ port:p5${perl5.major}-test-output \ port:p5${perl5.major}-test-requires \ port:p5${perl5.major}-try-tiny }}} In particular `Module::Build::XSUtil` and everything else from `configure_requires` is missing, as well as runtime dependencies. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44654> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
