I don't know where this discussion really belongs go, excuse the cross-post. Please be aware I'm not on either of these lists (I know it's against the doc :-), so be so kind as to cc any reply to my address. TIA. On a freshly installed 4.1 machine (bin-only installation), I CVSUPed /usr/src from RELENG_4, then removed the subtrees src/gnu/usr.bin/perl src/contrib/perl5 and last I CVSUPed the same subtrees with the tag HEAD. That should have brutally implanted perl5.6.0 in my 4.1-STABLE build tree. In that condition, buildworld fails with: ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions) Extracting cflags (with variable substitutions) Extracting writemain (with variable substitutions) Extracting myconfig (with variable substitutions) /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl/../miniperl/miniperl:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl. Whereas (cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl; make) gave no errors, and allowed me to continue where I left with buildworld -DNOCLEAN. installworld failed too with: ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/library install: /usr/libdata/perl/5.6.0/./CGI/Apache.pm: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library. which I worked around by creating /usr/libdata/perl/5.6.0 and all subdirs by hand. My question is: is there any plan to merge perl5.6.0 into RELENG_4 (it shouldn't be that difficult, as the only problem is at build/install time)? Do you have any hint for me to avoid the errors in my present case? I suppose the makefile should be changed slightly to avoid the build error, and that some entry should be added to the mtree control file to avoid the install failure: but where should I start?
