sysinstall meets perl5 packages: the solution is ...?
mark /usr/sbin/sysinstall * - fix - * What should we do about sysinstall and perl5 package? Options for the solution may include: 1) Install perl5 package also if 'base' distribution is selected. pros: Nobody forget to install perl5 package. /usr/bin/perl should work as like as 4-stable. cons: Users who want to have perl-free FreeBSD dislike it. 2) Use additional menu for install perl5 package or not, if 'base' distribution is selected. Install perl5 package if user selects yes to the menu. pros: Choices is available. Maybe nobody forget to install perl5 package. cons: New menu sometimes confuses users. Somebody request that why only perl? please add new menu for installing (your favorite application name here). 3) New entry 'perl5' is added to the distributions list, just like base, compat4x, crypto, XFree86, etc. Install perl5 package if perl5 package is selected. pros: Simple and obvious for users. Also some meta-distribution (for example, 'User') may include perl5 explicitly. cons: Since there are only 32bit for distributions type, if we want to add COMPAT5X distribution in the future, these flags need to be re-organized. Somebody requests that why only perl? please add (your favorite application name here) to the menu. 4) Do nothing. pros: Nothing to be done is a good news :-) cons: Some users may shout: Help! where is my perl? 5) (add your option here) -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

You have both standard, express, and custom install paths. You could automatically install the perl package for express and maybe standard. Anyone chosing custom will be able to handle new menus.

Options for the solution may include: [ ... ] 5) (add your option here) Make perl just another package. Bonus points: In the upgrade case, install it if perl is already installed, unless it's explicitly de-selected; make the same thing work for other packages, as well.
