Are you sure about that? Last time I installed RT (2.0.8, I believe), it was surely possible to make it work with 5.005_03 - at least it does so on our server. Though I am the first to recommend people to upgrade to 5.6.1, it would be extremely nice if your port were made to work with the system perl. In the vast majority of cases, it is possible; in fact, quite a number of existing p5 ports in the tree `convince' their respective perl modules that running on 5.005_03 is not such a bad idea, after all. When doing that, keep in mind that RELENG_4 after 17th of June 2002 have @INC order reversed, in order to pick the (newer) modules from ports before the (older) modules from the system perl. RELENG_4_6, including 4.6-release, are not good enough for that. > It needs CGI.pm-2.80 or greater, which doesn't exist in ports. You > can search ports/36887, which proposed a CGI-2.80. I have a wild > guess: the reason why ports/36887 remains open is CGi-2.80 needs perl > 5.6. Your wild guess is wrong. :-) There is no good reason why CGI.pm was not updated. It is now at 2.86. Also, this is not good: MD5 (rt.tar.gz) = 59179c054c0e05336f9b92fe3b031270 It virtually guarantees you to have the checksum changed from under you. The tarballs with the actual version numbers can be found at http://www.fsck.com/pub/rt/release/ I think that this port should be reworked with these comments in mind. That said, I found it is extremely nice that we *will* have a port for RT2. I was planning to make one myself, and I am very glad I do not have to, now. :-) Thanks!
