-=| Mark A. Stratman, Sat, Mar 26, 2011 at 12:13:09PM -0500 |=- Can somebody briefly explain the criteria for appending a '+patches' to the Perl version? e.g. as far as I can tell, every Debian perl package has patches (from looking at the debian package Changelog files), but only one is flagged as such. Huh? Where do you see that? According to http://packages.qa.debian.org/perl the available versions of the 'perl' package are: 5.10.0-19lenny3 lenny (currently oldstable) 5.10.1-17squeeze (currently stable) 5.10.1-18wheezy (currently testing) and sid (alias unstable) 5.12.3-2 (experimental) Looking at the output of 'perl -V' (on all versions above) brings no matches of '+patches'. By the way, the list of patches applied to the 'perl' package is available at http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/perl signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Ports page - about to be reset - patches weclome!
Hi, I cleaned out all the dead links from the ports page, which is what we went live with, but the content is WAY out of date, it is also not in a easy to review format and a lot of it is just not useful or points to very old versions of Perl and I have no way of knowing if that is the latest/only version for an OS - or just out of date information. I'm keeping a copy of the page as an archive so the information is not lost, but have now basically started again: http://leo.cuckoo.org/cpan/ports/ is a preview I've broken out each OS into a separate TT file https://github.com/perlorg/cpanorg/tree/master/src/ports/oses/ - this was the best I could come up with, I want standard layout for some stuff (versions / links) but with the ability to add free format HTML for specific requirements. The template for an OS is: https://github.com/perlorg/cpanorg/blob/master/src/ports/oses/_template.tt_data If there is an OS that is missing (remember I said I'd started again, this means most of them are!) and you know the details please submit a patch / email it to me. I will be looking to go live with this sooner rather than later - and going forward as people submit patches I'll keep updating it. http://www.cpan.org/src/ is then next on my list to clean up, but there are some technical limitations at the moment. Cheers Leo

I submitted a pull request with Ubuntu added to the page, but because of my lack of understanding I omitted '+patches' on any version. - Mark On 3/26/11 10:09 AM, Leo Lapworth wrote: Hi, I cleaned out all the dead links from the ports page, which is what we went live with, but the content is WAY out of date, it is also not in a easy to review format and a lot of it is just not useful or points to very old versions of Perl and I have no way of knowing if that is the latest/only version for an OS - or just out of date information.

Good question! e.g. as far as I can tell, every Debian perl package has patches (from looking at the debian package Changelog files), but only one is flagged as such. Squeeze wasn't on the list at all - when I looked up the perl version it had the '+patches' - I didn't think to check the others. I submitted a pull request with Ubuntu added to the page, but because of my lack of understanding I omitted '+patches' on any version. I may just put 'OS versions of Perl may have minor patches applied to them' or something generic on the page - either way I'll update the template once I've had a chance to discuss with a couple of people. Pull request merged - thanks! Leo
