Hi all, due to having somewhat too many Gentoo projects and not enough time at the moment, I'd like to ask for help with perl-cleaner here.
It is in most cases not necessary anymore, and I personally have not used it for ages, since the automated rebuilds via subslots make it obsolete. Still... * The change in path structure with Perl 5.32 (from, e.g., /usr/lib64 perl5/5.30.3 to /usr/lib64/perl5/5.32) broke the rebuild functionality [1] * There are issues with the 17.1 profiles [2] * There are several unrelated bugs and github issues. * Testing is nontrivial since you basically need a snapshotted install, where you can roll back a Perl upgrade. * The code is, well, horrible. [3] In any case, please have a look and file bugs and even better patches and/or pull-requests... https://github.com/gentoo-perl/perl-cleaner/ If no help materializes, my plan is to lobotomize perl-cleaner so it only cleans out "known leftover files" and otherwise recommends a portage command to rebuild all reverse dependencies of dev-lang/perl. Unfortunately this kind of blocks Perl 5.32 stable. Cheers, Andreas [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/763021 [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/589874 [3] broken_libs="$(${scanelf} -qBn < <(awk '/^(obj|sym) [^ ]*\/(s?bin| lib(32|64|x32)?)\// && ! /^obj [^ ]*\/usr\/lib\/debug\//{ print $2 }' ${content} ) | grep -o 'libperl\.\(so\|dylib\)\.[0-9.]*' | sort -u )" -- Andreas K.
