* OK - i think this is the way I'll do it (bearing in mind your tale
* of the emacs FUBAR).
:)
* I'll put all the base stuff into
* /usr/libdata/perl5/5.005/[{i386|alpha}-freebsd/]
^^^^^
* and plain old /usr/share/man/man.[13].
Hmm. Is that really necessary? The stuff in /usr/src is "the"
system, you don't really have to worry about coexisting with other
versions. (It's not like someone's going to install both perl5.004
and perl5.005 in /usr/src on the same machine....)
The reason why I say this is because the stuff in /usr/src is usually
expected to overwrite itself as people upgrade with "make world". I
don't know what people will think if there's a few megabytes of old
stuff left behind when we go to perl5.006....
* For the time being, the ports should stay where they are:
* /usr/local/lib/perl5/...
* but I'd like to give advance warning that I'd like to move
* them to
* /usr/local/libexec/perl5/... (or something) later.
Ok. (But remember, man pages aren't executables! ;)
* So the current perl ports can go ahead as you have been doing with
* the others. :-)
So I assume you're going to leave versions in there, right? May I
commit the bsd.port.mk fix? :)
By the way, I noticed that the new perl really scatters stuff around
under site_perl. There's some stuff directly under site_perl although
most of the stuff goes under site_perl/5.005, then some stuff directly
under there, some under the "auto" directory, then there's
site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd, then there's stuff there as well as
another "auto" subdirectory.
Is it really supposed to be this way? ;)
