forcing ports to use Perl 5.8.8
in [Ports]
|
From: rihad on 5 Nov 2009 01:01 Hello, I need to install security/p5-Digest-HMAC from the ports, but _only_ with the currently installed Perl 5.8.8, without it being upgraded to 5.8.9 as a dependency (because some other software dumps core with Perl 5.8.9). How can I as a user cleanly tell the system to stay with 5.8.8 and still be able to upgrade any other port, even all of them? I have in /etc/make.conf: PERL_VER=5.8.8 PERL_VERSION=5.8.8 but this isn't enough. /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.perl.mk has several knobs, which ones can I set in /etc/make.conf to achieve what I need (stay with perl 5.8.8)?

Basically, just don't upgrade perl. The various perl modules will adapt to whatever version is installed. If you use portupgrade(1) et al, add 'perl-*' to the HOLD_PKGS array in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. If you use portmaster(1), create a file +IGNOREME in /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.8/ Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW

The port will be ignored for all purposes, including dependency updates, if there is no directory for it in /usr/ports, and there is no entry for it in /usr/ports/MOVED. I don't understand the if part. There _is_ a directory for lang/perl5.8 in ports, so the port _won't_ be ignored? _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

Perhaps that should read "... dependency updates, *as* if there is no directory for it in..."? Otherwise that bit of text effectively says that +IGNOREME has no effect for ports that either exist currently in the ports tree, or that used to and that have an entry in MOVED. Which would make +IGNOREME pretty useless most of the time.
