[oi-dev] perl 5.16

Fri Jul 19 22:25:42 UTC 2013

Hi,

I am sorry, but I have to revert this change as it breaks many things. Perl 5.16 cannot be installed because there is conflict with perl-510 over /usr/bin/perl. perl-510 cannot be even uninstalled, because too many things depend on it.
Packaging perl-516 is great, but making it the default version without modifying the packages to remove/update dependency on perl-510 should happen. These types of things happen because it is called development, but it doesn't mean we rush things and do this blindly without thinking. Don't get me wrong, I am happy about your work on perl-5.16, but we are not there yet for considering a switch (unless you make changes on other packages as well).

pkg install: The requested change to the system attempts to install multiple actions
for link 'usr/bin/perl' with conflicting attributes:

    1 package delivers 'link mediator=perl mediator-version=5.16 path=usr/bin/perl target=../perl5/5.16/bin/perl':
        pkg://openindiana.org/runtime/perl-516@5.16.2,5.11-0.151.1.8.1:20130719T143855Z
    1 package delivers 'link path=usr/bin/perl target=../perl5/5.10.0/bin/perl':
        pkg://openindiana.org/runtime/perl-510@5.10.0,5.11-0.151.1.8:20130305T141236Z

These packages may not be installed together.  Any non-conflicting set may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.
