[OpenIndiana-discuss] [oi-dev] Miscellaneous component fixes and migrations

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

I've ran 

 # pkg unset-mediator perl

and perl is now simply perl 5.34.

With a modified make-rules/common.mk which is doing the include prep.mk as in the past,
Squeak 4.19.15 builds fine with my old Makefile.

Squeak has no dependency on Perl as far as I know, but I'm also maintaining a package called PARI
which uses several Perl scripts.

However I think that PARI does not require an update because the dependency is simply:

  depend fmri=pkg:/runtime/perl type=require

which I believe will work automatically for any Perl version, including the new Perl 5.36.

Regards,
David Stes
