The default Perl has been switched to perl5-5.18 making upgrading tasks necessary. I’m working with Poudriere and Pkg which works just fine.
Question is how to upgrading Perl should be done properly on clients. I did run into these problems:
the dependent packages seem to be gone for good. How do you upgrade your clients without pain?
PS: There is something wrong with the forum software: formatting cannot be done, as it is undone permanently when edited.
Question is how to upgrading Perl should be done properly on clients. I did run into these problems:
- the repository still has Perl5-16 and Perl5-18
- Pkg does not offer substitution, at least I’m not aware of this
pkg delete perl5
deletes also dependent packages, which are a lot.
Code:
pkg install perl5-5.18
pkg upgrade –y
pkg check -Ba
