But, as descibed in #16830, perl5.8 will stop installing ${prefix}/bin/perl some[[BR]] time after all ports have transitioned to the path:bin/perl:perl5 dependency. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17576#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Changing to `__PERL=${prefix}/bin/perl5.8.8` to work when `perl` is deleted from perl5.8

May I suggest that you use __PERL=${prefix}/bin/perl5.8.8 since I would imagine perl5.8 will be upgraded to perl 5.8.9[[BR]] when it comes out. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17576#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Sorry.[[BR]] I meant {{{ __PERL=${prefix}/bin/perl5.8 }}}

Forgot that MacPorts adds a custom symlink, upstream only has the "perl" and "perlX.Y.Z" ones. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17576#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

rpm-devel (5.2) was using a versioned binary already (perl5.8.8, now perl5.8 symlink)

The others (4.4,4.5,5.0,5.1) still use "perl" but will be changed with perl5/perl5.8.

Forgive me, but just to clarify the situation: You want all of the rpm packages to use perl5.8?[[BR]] rpm51 and rpm50 need to change to {{{ __PERL=${prefix}/bin/perl5.8 }}} rpm and rpm45 need to require that ${prefix}/bin/perl5.8 is used.[[BR]] rpm-devel is already fixed. Can we go ahead and make the changes now to facilitate the transition to perl5? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17576#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
