In the latter case, it is that they have 5.12 as default (look at the variants of the "perl5" port; while +perl5_16 is current default, it used to be +perl5_12, and there's no good way to automatically migrate it to a new default variant), and the message about deprecated dependencies is somewhat misleading because they should really be switching the perl5 port variant to a newer one. Part of the reason for this migration of Perl versions is so we can come up with a better way to handle future Perl upgrades, btw. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
