Hi. All of the p5-* perl module ports have:
perl5.branches 5.28 5.30 5.32 5.34
Why is that? There's a perl5.36 port,
and there are perl5.16-perl5.26 ports.
I'm curious. I was expecting to see a branch

How does that happen?
Assuming it will happen eventually, how can I tell it to use a local copy of the

If you have a binary file in DER format, it can be converted to PEM format:

a certificate that is a local root certificate (so just
installing ISRG Root X1 locally on the client is
enough). Others keep checking the entire chain no

i hope python27 wont't go away.

not the case.
Thanks. I thought it might be like when -devel is added
to a library's package name on some systems to indicate
that it includes header files for compiling new
programs that use the library rather than just
containing the library itself for dynamic linking
purposes.
thanks,

I think llvm-gcc42 isn't needed for any of this. I don't
understand how it got pulled in but it doesn't really matter.
It's gone now and everything is fine.
