p5-Devel-NYTProf: version 6.09 now available
I have released version 6.09 of this Perl library to CPAN. The FreeBSD port is currently at version 6.06, which will not pass all its tests with the upcoming perl-5.34.0 release. Please consider upgrading the port and let me know any problems you encounter. Thank you very much.

Message-ID: <8a12d0aeb775499c95ba5652b8cf7...@dawnsign.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" How do I go about requesting a new Perl port for the Locale::Language module that was taken out of Perl 5.30? www/foswiki depends on that module and some of its functions have not worked since I upgraded the wiki system to 5.30. Since I use ports exclusively, I do not wish to revert to cpan to install such modules. ~Doug A quick check on CPAN shows Locale::Language to be part of the Locale-Codes distribution (https://metacpan.org/release/Locale-Codes). A search on FreeBSD Ports (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=locale-codes=all=all) shows that there already exists a port for Locale-Codes. However, it appears to be several versions behind CPAN. So perhaps you could contact the maintainer to do an update of the port. Thank you very much.

At that time they will transparently redirect all URL requests to comparable MetaCPAN pages. FreeBSD porting style usually requires that the URL for Perl modules (in pkg-descr) be set to something like... # WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN-Testers-Common-Client/ # While these links will (theoretically) continue working, we should think about a mass find-replace in all "*/p5-*/pkg-descr" URL fields to point to new MetaCPAN URLs. Also, the Porter's Handbook / portlint / etc would need to be updated to recommend using MetaCPAN URLs instead of the existing search.cpan.org links. I didn't see any other discussions on this in the past couple months of the mailinglist archive so I thought I'd raise the issue here :) -Greg Gret, thank you for calling attention to this. My hunch is that once search.cpan.org has been retired, we should take a sample of the URL fields in the pkg-descr field and verify the links they actually resolve to (as distinct from what they are currently *expected* to resolve to). At that point, a mass find-replace becomes feasible and testable. Thank you very much.

update: devel/p5-CPAN-Testers-Common-Client
With this year's Perl Toolchain Summit recently concluded in Oslo, quite a few important CPAN libraries are or will soon be getting new releases.

The default pkg repository is the "quarterly" one (see
/usr/local/etc/pkg) which only gets new ports every 3 months.
You can switch to the "latest" repo, which gets rebuilt every Tuesday, I
believe.
Thanks. Upon reading 'man 5 pkg.conf', which identified the system-wide
configuration file as being located as /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. That file
does contain this entry:
#
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly;,
#
That file also states that to modify that file, create a new file as:
#
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#
I have done so, and in that file I have placed this entry:
FreeBSD: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest;,
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
#
Should that suffice?
Thank you very much.

First time porter seeks guidance on 'make package' (as user)
I am making my first attempt at constructing a FreeBSD port. The port
in question is for Perl extension Devel-Platform_Info
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Devel-Platform-Info/).
Devel-Platform-Info, AFAICT, has not yet been ported and has no
prerequisites outside the Perl 5 core distribution. Hence, it should
not be difficult to port. I have constructed and submitted a port for
this CPAN distribution to OpenBSD; now I would like to do so as well for
FreeBSD.
I have tried to follow the guidance in the Porters Handbook starting here:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
... particularly the discussion in Chapter 3, "Quick Porting":
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/quick-porting.html
I have successfully tested the port with both 'portlint'
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/testing-portlint.html)
and 'port test'
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/testing-porttools.html).
The one place where I have not gotten the desired results is found at
"Procedure 3.1: Recommended Test Ordering"
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-testing.html).
Step 6 of that process is to invoke 'make package' as a regular,
non-root user. When I attempted to do so, I was told that I lacked
permission to create a directory. That didn't surprise me, since the
'/usr/ports/' tree has permissions 'drwxr-xr-x' and I, as a member of
group 'wheel', lack 'write' permission for that tree. Hence, I'm
puzzled by this advice:
"Make sure that make package can be run as a normal user (that is, not
as root). If that fails, the software may need to be patched. See also
Section 17.18, “fakeroot” and Section 17.84, “uidfix”." I installed the
'fakeroot' package but had no better luck when I ran 'fakeroot make
package' as a non-root user.
1. Can someone offer guidance as to how to proceed?
2. I found that to create/edit the Makefile and pkg-descr I had to
become root. That's a style of work that is contrary to my regular
software development practices. With some guidance from an experienced
OpenBSD committer I was able to learn how to prepare ports on that
platform without becoming root. Is there any way to do that in FreeBSD?
Makefile for this port attached for reference.
Thank you very much.
