Fairly sure perl 5.30.1 is as ready for import as I can get it without other folks trying it out, so I'd like some additional testing on some of the architectures I don't have and a bulk ports build to see what sort of fallout happens there. I have been running 5.30 on my main testing machine for several months now and things have been working well.
One thing that I know happened is that Locale::Codes and related modules were removed from core and I haven't yet had time to look at fixing the things that showed up when sthen@ grepped for that in the extracted ports tree. Anyone running a speedy bulk ports cluster who could do a full build for me would be appreciated. The full perldelta is here, both between version 5.30.0 and 5.28.2 that we have in-tree now and the smaller bugfixes in 5.30.1. The perl5-porters have been hard at work on deprecating a lot of terrible features so they can turn them into something better: https://metacpan.org/pod/release/SHAY/perl-5.30.1/pod/perl5300delta.pod https://metacpan.org/pod/release/SHAY/perl-5.30.1/pod/perldelta.pod The logs for the testing I have done is here. https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/tree/master/build_logs/5.30.1 Which includes alpha, amd64, arm64, armv7, i386, macppc, and octeon. Sadly my sparc64 is giving me trouble and I haven't had time to spend on the replacement. Apparently my 166MHz single processor alpha is slow as it failed speed.t. For running the perl test suite, you can follow the instructions on GitHub, repeated here: https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl download the patches and scripts https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/archive/master.tar.gz and extract someplace or git clone https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl.git download perl-5.30.1.tar.gz into the same directory https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/perl-5.30.1.tar.gz cd to someplace you have room run /path/to/OpenBSD-perl/build_perl wait send me the log file(s) it generates You can download a pre-patched version of perl that can be extracted to replace src/gnu/usr.bin/perl for building a system with the new perl: https://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/OpenBSD-perl-5.30.1.tar.gz I also have what should be a mostly correct sets/lists patch for building a release. https://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/OpenBSD-perl-5.30.1-sets_lists.patch There's also patch file that should apply to a -current tree updating to perl 5.30.1, copy it into /usr/src (or adjust the paths below) and follow these ugly instructions. You'll still need the sets lists patch if you're planning to build a release. https://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/OpenBSD-perl-5.30.1.patch patch -p0 -E < OpenBSD-perl-5.30.1.patch # Remove patch cruft find gnu/usr.bin/perl -name '*.orig' -delete # Add and remove binary and zero sized files that patch doesn't understand grep -B1 -e '^Index:' -e 'Binary files .* and /dev/null differ' \ OpenBSD-perl-5.30.1.patch | sed -ne 's/^diff -N //p' | while read f; do if [ -e $f ]; then rm $f; else touch $f; fi; done # Remove empty directories, or those with only a CVS directory in them cd gnu/usr.bin/perl && find -d . \ \( -type d -o -path '*/CVS' -prune \) \ ! -name CVS \ -exec test -e {}/CVS \; \ -execdir sh -c 'test $( ls -1 {} | grep -v '^CVS/$' | wc -l ) -eq 0' \; \ -exec rm -r {} \; -- andrew - http://afresh1.com The 3 great virtues of a programmer: Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. --Larry Wall
