Also known as sneaking changes.

Better use of RC_SUBR infrastructure

Remove unnecessary dependencies (Perl core modules) from {BUILD|RUN|TEST}_DEPENDS

I (sunpoet@) am working on this issue.

You can use corelist (devel/p5-Module-CoreList) to check if the specific dependency/module has been added to Perl core modules. If so, you may either

• Remove it from {BUILD|RUN|TEST}_DEPENDS if it is already in all supported Perl releases (they are 5.8.9, 5.10.1, 5.12.* and 5.14.* currently)

• Add corresponding PERL_LEVEL check (see Example 1 & 2) if it exists only in some supported Perl releases

Note that please align PERL_LEVEL checks to stable Perl releases (lang/perl5.*). If one modules has been added to Perl since 5.9.3, please use .if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 501000 instead of .if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500903. By doing so, it has higher possibility to merge multiple PERL_LEVEL checks to one check.

Example 1:

BUILD_DEPENDS=  p5-parent>=0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/p5-parent

According to corelist (parent was first released with perl v5.10.1), the above line should be changed to

.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

.if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 501001
BUILD_DEPENDS+= p5-parent>=0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/p5-parent
.endif

.include <bsd.port.post.mk>

Example 2:

The port requires Compress::Zlib 2.030 or above.

BUILD_DEPENDS=  p5-IO-Compress>=2.030:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/p5-IO-Compress
RUN_DEPENDS:=   ${BUILD_DEPENDS}

Accoring to corelist, Perl bundled Compress::Zlib 2.030 since 5.13.4. The above lines should be changed to

.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

.if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 501400
BUILD_DEPENDS+= p5-IO-Compress>=2.030:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/p5-IO-Compress
RUN_DEPENDS+=   p5-IO-Compress>=2.030:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/p5-IO-Compress
.endif

.include <bsd.port.post.mk>

DOCS and EXAMPLES: convert to OptionsNG

Fix USE_PERL5 and USE_PERL5_BUILD pulling perl as EXTRACT_DEPENDS and PATCH_DEPENDS

This should be fixed as it reduced over dependencies which also speed up operation on package building cluster (around 5% performance boost has been noticed in that case)

These should be fixed as other important issues are fixed

Undefined LICENSE

find /usr/ports -name Makefile -depth 3 -exec grep -L '^LICENSE=' {} + | wc -l

10230 ports left

This one-liner is not ideal as it does not take into account that the license could be included in an extra Makefile (as for example it is done in mail/claws-mail: there are two makefiles: Makefile and Makefile.claws; the license is specified in Makefile.claws).

Other tasks

List of things need to cleanup the infrastructure.
