Hmmm, I think that openjade is best then. It's output in multibyte systems like Big5 or EUC-JP seems to not be mangled (as far as I can tell from visual inspection :), so I assume that the problems have been fixed now. > > The remaining diffs correct a missing perl build dependency, > > I recommend USE_PERL5 instead of adding to BUILD_DEPENDS. Oops, sorry, looks like edwin@ already added USE_PERL5 2 days ago while I wasn't paying attention. I used BUILD_DEPENDS in my patch because USE_PERL5 sets RUN_DEPENDS too, which is not necessary. > > and the bletcherous perl wrapper > > which breaks port dependencies (fatal in a release build setting). > > I presume you meant for the openjade port.

USE_PERL5 just consists of: BUILD_DEPENDS+= perl${PERL_VERSION}:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5 RUN_DEPENDS+= perl${PERL_VERSION}:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5 PERL_VERSION is 5.6.1 in current, and the perl wrapper does install a perl5.6.1 link.
