In the latter case, it is that they have 5.12 as default (look at the variants of the "perl5" port; while +perl5_16 is current default, it used to be +perl5_12, and there's no good way to automatically migrate it to a new default variant), and the message about deprecated dependencies is somewhat misleading because they should really be switching the perl5 port variant to a newer one.<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>Part of the reason for this migration of Perl versions is so we can come up with a better way to handle future Perl upgrades, btw.</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates</div><div><a href="mailto:allbery.b@gmail.com" target="_blank">allbery.b@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:ballbery@sinenomine.net" target="_blank">ballbery@sinenomine.net</a></div><div>unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad <a href="http://sinenomine.net" target="_blank">http://sinenomine.net</a></div></div></div>
