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.
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Hi, I cleaned out all the dead links from the ports page, which is what we went live with, but the content is WAY out of date, it is also not in a easy to review format and a lot of it is just not useful or points to very old versions of Perl and I have no way of knowing if that is the latest/only version for an OS - or just out of date information. 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.
