[clc-devel] Implications of the perl 5.8.7 update
Hi, The 5.8.7 update for perl I committed last night causes some footprint mismatches for the following ports: cddb_get gaim imagemagick irssi kdebindings mod_perl p5-cgi p5-html-parser p5-html-tagset p5-xml-parser Fixing them is only a matter of replacing '5.8.6' with '5.8.7' in the .footprints, but I think we should also increment the release number in order to force recompilation. There are some ports in httpup repositories which require similar measures, so this will probably need to be announced also on the CRUX mailing list after the switch to the new server is complete. // Jukka

We could consider extending our automated notification for such situations (updates which require recompilation of dependent packages). Some special situations might need additional information, but a general "[incompatible]" warning might save us some work.
