I installed a test system (via the amd64 memstick image), copied my port
options to /var/db/ports, my poudriere make.conf options to
/etc/make.conf and tried to build a few hundred ports. This stalled out
trying to build textproc/man2html because of a missing dependency:
===> man2html-3.1.20220714 depends on package: perl5>=5.38.r<5.39
- not found
*** Error code 1
Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/textproc/man2html
sea 108 # pkg info | fgrep perl5
perl5.38-5.38.2_1 Practical Extraction and Report Language
But on one of my production 13.2 systems (using the same port build
options) I see this:
zinc 582 # pkg info | fgrep perl
perl5-5.38.2_1 Practical Extraction and Report Language
Later I removed all of the packages/work dirs and tried to build just
textproc/man2html and I noticed this:
##################################################
This is *NOT* the DEFAULT perl version
It will *NOT* install /usr/local/bin/perl
It will *ONLY* install /usr/local/bin/perl5.38.2
The default Perl version currently is 5.36.
If you want to use this version as the default,
stop the build now, add this line to your
/etc/make.conf, and then restart the build.
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=perl5=5.38
##################################################
(Which likely explains the wacky perl5.38-5.38.2_1 version I saw
earlier) however:
sea 54 # pwd
/usr/ports/textproc/man2html
sea 55 # make -V DEFAULT_VERSIONS
lua=5.4 mysql=8.1 perl5=5.38 pgsql=13 php=83 python3=3.11
python=3.11 ssl=openssl31
sea 56 # fgrep perl5 /etc/make.conf
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.38
So I'm already picking a different default perl5 the approved way.
Being new to the insides of release engineering, I don't know how the
/usr/ports that is included is populated but I assume some changes will
be be needed for BETA2 (e.g. appended). Also the problems I find with
the bundled ports tree wouldn't be a problem for someone using a current
main branch of /usr/ports (like I do on my build servers).
