Dear all, How are you? I hope all is well with you. I need help please. I’m on a mission to update the perl5 port to provide the latest version of Perl (5.40.1).
I have modified the original Portfile to have version: 5.40.1 I provided a new row in the perl5.versions_info set: 5.40 1 0 c0688de859abdd8c8d1cedf83bb2a2607f1c572a 02f8c45bb379ed0c3de7514fad48c714fd46be8f0b536bfd5320050165a1ee26 19783191 I took the RDM160 and SHA256 checksum values from the output of the command: openssl dgst -rmd160 perl-5.40.1.tar.gz openssl dust -sha256 perl-5.40.1.tar.gz The size of the tar file I copied from the output of stat: stat perl-5.40.1.tar.gz I added a new value to perl5.branches variable: perl5.branches: 5.34 5.36 5.38 5.40 I didn’t modify the perl5.default_branch variable. Finally, I try to make a test installation of the new port variant with sudo port -d install perl5 +perl5_40 This fails with ‘Dependency perl5.40 not found’. Obviously, I missed something in the Portfile. Could you please direct me, to what I missed? I will attached the modified Portfile to this email. Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!
