Re: [Fink-devel] perl, python, ruby, etc.
OK. I just did a test build of our perl5100 package and it failed, so needs work. So for now, we'll let things be, but if somebody wanted to work on perl 5.10.0 to bring it forward, they are welcome to do it. I'll follow the received advice and not bring perl 5.8.8 forward. -- Dave On Jul 21, 2011, at 11:16 AM, Daniel Macks wrote: On Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:00:03 -0700, David R.

Re: [Fink-devel] perl, python, ruby, etc.
Going the other way, we may want to add a perl5.12.3 to 10.[56] to help promote keeping the older dist's -pm packages updated as more developers switch to 10.7 as their primary target. dan On Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:27:36 -0700, David R.
