This would be easier (for me at least) if the list of ports included the maintainer.

As it is, I think I've fixed p5-html-tree and hacked (PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1) p5-class-autouse and p5-xml-autowriter (no upstream updates in a while, so these may be abandoned).

Adding subversion-perlbindings-5.26 fixes p5-svn-simple and I added the hack to p5-svn-mirror (both of which also may be abandoned).

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I'm sorry, this ticket is not exactly ready yet. I just took a glimpse at 10.8 build logs and did a quick grep/sed expression to list ports that failed to build.

Someone needs to have a look at other builders as well, attach a list of all failed ports, provide a list of failed ports in the port field, provide the full list of maintainers etc. If you fixed some of these ports, feel free to cross them on the list (potentially with a link to commit / commit's shasum).

There's of course a lot more that has to be done, I just wanted to open the ticket before we are no longer able to find the links to logs :)

p5-zeromq: patch to fix build with perl 5.26

• patch to fix build with perl 5.26
• additional test dependency (but tests still fail)

See: #54290

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

The following ports claim to be fixed in their latest versions

p5.26-alien-wxwidgets seems to have been updated (port version: 0.67, new version: 0.69)
p5.26-wx seems to have been updated (port version: 0.9928, new version: 0.9932)

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I wanted to ask you for some help. I have a pending wxWidgets update, but the perl modules didn't work properly for me. Please wait until I come back home and I'll send you some further question.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Also: are you willing to create a new ticket to update other packages that depend on Perl and its modules?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Replying to mojca:

Also: are you willing to create a new ticket to update other packages that depend on Perl and its modules?

I'm assuming you mean with respect to perl 5.26? I can do this but it probably should wait until the various modules are fixed. I'm continuing to find more that are not listed in this ticket. (I'm adding them when I find them).

Let me know what questions you have about the wxWidgets.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Yes, to upgrade to perl5.26. There's no point in waiting as it will take a long time before all modules are updated and most of them don't depend on broken modules anyway. (In the past we needed 6 months up to several years.)

[ptman (Paul Tötterman)]

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to remove paul.totterman@… from this ticket. Please could someone with more permissions take care of it. Thank you!

perl5.26: patch to enable syscall() support

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

perl5.26 fixes committed for p5-alien-wxwidgets, p5-wx. See links in description above.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Wonderful, thank you very much. I'm still travelling. If you are willing to create a ticket for switching to 5.26, please go ahead, else I'll look into it when I come back home.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

p5.26-libapreq2 actually builds without problems if mod_perl2 +perl5_26 is installed by hand first. These two would probably work better together if libapreq2 were structured to specify perl version using variants rather than subports the way mod_perl2 is. But that's not strictly a perl5.26 issue so I have removed p5-libapreq2 from the description above and, having done so, declare that, to my knowlege, all module build issues with perl5.26 have been addressed.

Closing as fixed.
