[crux-devel] perl and python footprint mismatch errors

[Jose V Beneyto]

Hi

I experienced something weird and seems nobody reported it (or I didn't 
hear of it).

Well, there are some ports dependent on 'python' and 'perl', which have 
errors after merging into opt/2.5.
For the 2.5 release, perl has changed from 5.8.8 to 5.10.0, and python 
from 2.5 to 2.6, and (for what I know ) this version number is hardcoded 
in footprints[1] (also in some dependent ports). So, some maintainers 
should pay attention before merge their commits into the 2.5 branch.

Some affected ports and their maintainers: (opt)

(perl ports)
$ for port in $(grep 'site_perl/5.8' -r * | cut -d'/' -f1 | uniq); do 
echo -ne "$port "; grep Maintainer $port/Pkgfile; done
git # Maintainer: Tilman Sauerbeck, tilman at crux dot nu

(python ports)
$ for port in $(grep 'python2.5' -r * | cut -d'/' -f1 | uniq); do echo 
-ne "$port "; grep Maintainer $port/Pkgfile; done

[1]  I would to propose you a pkgmk hack similar to that we have for 
kernel modules ports, all we need is the current installed version for 
perl and python.
See kernel footprint hack for take an idea:
http://crux.nu/gitweb/?p=tools/pkgutils.git;a=blob;f=pkgmk.in
...
make_footprint() {
    pkginfo --footprint $TARGET | \
<http://crux.nu/gitweb/?p=tools/pkgutils.git;a=blob;f=pkgmk.in;h=1cc40d60d274cb3a31e7896f3ad3ce4e2864673c;hb=HEAD#l198>    
    sed "s|\tlib/modules/`uname -r`/|\tlib/modules/<kernel-version>/|g" | \
        sort -k 3
}
...

Thanks,
