Subject: [gentoo-perl] Intend to remove dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker
Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 18:07:09
Message-Id: 4378D235.8050407@gentoo.org
1 This package was originally added to handle differences between how perl
2 5.6 EU::MM's and 5.8 EU::MM's handled arguments. Now, over 3 years
3 later, it is serving only to complicate lives and make things difficult.
4 I'd like to remove this package from portage unless there are any
5 complaints. There's really no reason for anyone on a gentoo system
6 (ported or original) to use this ebuild any more, and there is at least
7 one security bug in bugzie that is convoluted because of this package.
8 Let me know if you have objections,
9
