The perl herd is probably one of the least often outdated packages of all of Gentoo, because of the ease of trivial bumps.
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/outdated-cpan-packages.xml Updated every 6 hours if there are changes in upstream CPAN. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/outdated-cpan-packages-perl-experimental.xml Updated irregularly, but often. http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/scripts/perl-bump-0.5.sh Tool for bumping Perl packages, not perfect, but works 99% of the time. > hope this will change to the better, i am still at gentoo, but if devs run > away from it to deb/rpm systems then i have to also :/ > g-cpan -g Mail::SPF This is one of those cases where upstream's version numbering never made g-cpan work in the first place. The generated ebuilds needed the following added: MY_P="${PN}-v${PV}" S="${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}" I generated the ebuilds with my copy of g-cpan, available here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/scripts/g-cpan-robbat2-20090609 And they are committed now too. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : [email protected] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
