I would like to remove our local patch that puts IO::Compress into an
architecture dependent directory. IO::Compress moves from
/usr/libdata/perl5/amd64-openbsd/5.18.2/IO/Compress to
/usr/local/perl5/5.18.2/IO/Compress.
This will require an additional change to sync the file sets.
OK?
The patch was added in installperl r1.25
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/installperl#rev1.25
Over the weekend I sent the local patch to perl5-porters to see about
getting it imported upstream.
https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=122001
After some discussion on p5p, the committer pointed to his commit that
reverted the perl changes that triggered the OpenBSD patch.
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/88a6f4fc380d30c405f82eb0f2962237fd771fea
They reverted because IO::Compress stopped being architecture dependent.
