I have updated the perl patches for perl 5.20.1-RC1 in preparation for
the release of 5.20.1. I'd like to some testing so when it is released
I can be ready to import it.
I am especially looking for tests on vax and sparc.
It's easy!
* download the patches and scripts
https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/archive/5_20.tar.gz
* extract someplace
* download perl-5.20.1-RC1.tar.gz into the same directory
https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/perl-5.20.1-RC1.tar.gz
* cd to someplace you have room
* run /path/to/OpenBSD-perl/build_perl
* wait
* send me the log file(s) it generates
If you want, you can then follow the directions and install it as system
perl. Do note that you will need to rebuild most perl packages that you
may have installed if you do.
The list so far:
- [x] alpha
- [x] amd64
- [ ] armish
- [ ] armv7
- [ ] aviion
- [ ] hp300
- [ ] hppa
- [x] i386
- [ ] landisk
- [ ] loongson
- [ ] luna88k
- [x] macppc
- [ ] mvme68k
- [ ] mvme88k
- [ ] octeon
- [ ] sgi
- [ ] socppc
- [ ] sparc
- [x] sparc64
- [ ] vax
- [ ] zaurus
If you have an extra of any of these architectures that I haven't marked
as tested, I could use test machines in Portland, OR, USA.
