#52081 closed enhancement
Ports should require perl5.24 instead of 5.22 — at Version 19
Description (last modified by Ionic (Mihai Moldovan))
It's time to move to perl5.24. (See an older ticket #48365.)
The list of ports has been generated with
port info --line --index --name --maintainer depends:'perl5\.22' or depends:'p5\.22-' | grep -v 'p5-' | grep -v 'p5.22-' | sort > list.txt
and might contain errors.
No maintainer

Isn't there a stub "perl5" family of dependencies which ports can declare if they don't care about the exact perl version?

nope.
With all due respect: that sucks. What is/was wrong with port:perl5 and/or port:p5-foo?

René, the ticket to discuss perl packaging is still at #50000. Let's not spam this ticket (with already too much traffic to too many people) discussing ideas that would even prolong transition to 5.24 and cannot be implemented overnight anyway.
Mihai, I "asked for help" at https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2073#comment:30. One way to avoid excessive traffic on tickets like this one (without any further features) might be to:
- open the second ticket with basically no subscribers (I'm fine being subscribed) and tracking the progress (changing the list of ports, crossing out the ticket numbers and adding revisions that fixed them, ...)
- a ticket like this one with many subscribers would only contain a pointer to the other ticket and responsible developers would only be notified once, when the ticket gets closed
Feel free to do whatever you find most suitable (additional discussion can happen "off-list/off-ticket" or on IRC).

Not that I can commit it anyway, but I had a look at my port:cpuid. Turns out it depends on port:p${perl5.major}-foo ; am I right that this means it'll transition as soon as the perl5.major variable changes?
If not, I'll just make it depend on the p5-foo variants of its 2 dependencies.

that's a bad idea - think about the binary archives or the fact that a person's installed files will be different with the same version/revision of a Portfile.
If not, I'll just make it depend on the p5-foo variants of its 2 dependencies.
That's a bad idea for similar reasons as well.
Please follow the standard recommendations for depending on perl/perl modules and discuss improvements in the ticket mentioned earlier in thread (#50000).

mythweb.28 - r151849
mythtv-core.28, mythtv-plugins.28 - r151852
The 0.28 versions are in testing right now. Assuming no regressions with 5.24, I'll amend my other ports in a few days.
