[gentoo-dev] perl-5.6.1-r6 masked, needs testing on non i686's

[Michael Cummings]

Hey all,

	While working on the ebuild for 5.8.0, I noticed a few hardcoded references to the i686 architecture. Further looking found it in all of the 5.6.1 releases as well. I have commited (MASKED) perl-5.6.1-r6 and would appreciate anyone willing to test. I changed the lines that referred specifically to the i686 dir structure to instead use the variable $PARCH, which should contain your platform specific arch name. No one has complained about this that I know of yet, but it could have led to problems if you used anything that looked for /usr/lib/perl5/perlversion/[perlarch], which is where the CORE (emphasis not mine, that's how it is created) directory exists.
	If I don't hear anything by week's end, I'll unmask for good.

Mike

> perl-5.6.1-r6:

 emerge was successfull on ppc
 added ppc keyword
 did not unmask it, but added a small comment to packages.mask

> perl-5.8.0:

 emerge failed on ppc, compilation succeeded but make test failed: This
problem seems to be similar to the ghostscript problem I had earlier. One
of the perl tests tries to perform some tests on the cache, and my machine
seems to loop forever performing this test. (Could this be kernel related?
can anyone with a Titanium 2 machine (550) test this?)

I also corrected the headers of some of the files (5.6.1-r6 had a 5.6.1-r3
header... I noticed that lintool *.ebuild did not complain about this
but lintool <individual ebuild> did.)

Best regards,

Pieter
