While the actual change to the Perl version works fine for me, I find that invoking "pkg updating" fails to display the 20180330 ports/UPDATING entry. I got lucky, because I found out about the change a different way.
I maintain /usr/ports as an SVN working copy, using a local private mirror (updated nightly): g1-215(11.1-S)[1] svn info /usr/ports/ Path: /usr/ports Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports URL: file:///svn/freebsd/ports/head Relative URL: ^/head Repository Root: file:///svn/freebsd/ports Repository UUID: 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5 Revision: 466037 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: mandree Last Changed Rev: 466037 Last Changed Date: 2018-03-31 03:08:17 -0700 (Sat, 31 Mar 2018) g1-215(11.1-S)[2] The 20180330 entry does exist in /usr/ports/UPDATIMG: g1-215(11.1-S)[2] grep -i -B 2 -A 2 perl /usr/ports/UPDATING | head 20180330: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5* AUTHOR: m...@freebsd.org The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.26. If you are using binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, follow the -- g1-215(11.1-S)[3] I have Perl installed: g1-215(11.1-S)[3] pkg info -o perl5\* perl5-5.26.1 lang/perl5.26 g1-215(11.1-S)[4] But "pkg updating -i" fails to display the 20180330 entry for me; it does show entries for some(?) other ports I have installed: g1-215(11.1-S)[4] pkg updating -i | head 20180319: AFFECTS: users of dns/dnsmasq AUTHOR: mand...@freebsd.org Note that with dnsmasq 2.79, some parts of the interface have changed in an incompatible way versus previous versions. This comprises changed recursion behaviour, signature support, a change for SIGINT (vs. SIGHUP) behaviour. Note especially that dnsmasq will no longer answer non-recursive queries unless it is marked authoritative! Be sure to see the manual page for the g1-215(11.1-S)[5] Is the above a demostration of a problem with "pkg updating"? Something else? Thanks! Peace, david -- David H.
