Gentle Perl5 Porters\,

The attached text files contain patches to correct build problems on the Stratus VOS (recently renamed "OpenVOS") operating system. I have tested these changes on OpenVOS Release 17.0\, which is the most-current customer release. None of these changes should affect any other OS.

Makefile.SH​: This patch removes the "miniperl" dependency of the "all" target. On an operating system that does not require an executable suffix\, the miniperl$(EXE_EXT) dependency evaluates to "miniperl"\, too. But on an operating system like VOS that does have an executable suffix\, miniperl$(EXE_EXT) evaluates to (in our case) "miniperl.pm" and the "miniperl" target is unresolved. [ perl-5.10.x\, perl-5.12.x\, perl-current ]

ext/Socket/Socket.xs​: Sadly\, OpenVOS does not yet support IPv6. I edited the code to allow for this case\, while retaining IPv6 support for operating systems that do support it. [ perl-5.12.x\, perl-current ]

The attached patches apply cleanly as of today.

These patches were prepared using "diff -u"; I have not completed the port of git to OpenVOS\, so I am unable to submit them in git format. I apologize for this; hopefully by the time I have the next patches ready\, I'll have git working.

These patches by themselves do not get perl5 to run all of the test cases\, but they at least get it to build again.

I don't know what happened to mess up this letter. There were 3 enclosures. One of the enclosures seems to have become the body of the letter. The body of the letter got turned into an enclosure.

Thank you. Iā€™ve just applied perl-current.patch.txt as a5addb1.

Iā€™m unsure as to the current policy with regard to maintenance patches. Usually they are cherry-picked from blead. (I donā€™t know how to do that\, anyway. :-)

It looked like two fairly small changes to me\, both in the category of fixing portability/build breakage and thus nominally within the policy. Of course the pumpking's ruling is also part of the policy and 5.14 now glimmers on the horizon\, but since there was no actual feedback on Paul's changes\, I thought I'd belatedly provide some.

The one change to Socket.xs restores buildability anywhere AF_INET6 is not defined and looks like it will leave things unchanged anywhere that AF_INET6 is defined.

The change to Makefile.SH\, while smaller\, seems a bit more dangerous. If I were to champion this change\, I'd want to know why $(MINIPERL_EXE) and miniperl both were listed as dependencies in the all target in the first place\, which should be discernible from git's blame feature.

Feel free to ignore the files that gave the exact patch for the back-releases\, but you may have to fiddle the edits a little if you back-port from blead. I submitted patches that need no fiddling.

I would hope they can be back-ported. They are pretty simple changes (but see below).

Correct.

The change to Makefile.SH\, while smaller\, seems a bit more dangerous. If I were to champion this change\, I'd want to know why $(MINIPERL_EXE) and miniperl both were listed as dependencies in the all target in the first place\, which should be discernible from git's blame feature.

Agreed.

Comment​: According to Configure\, the only platforms that require an executable suffix are Stratus VOS\, DJGPP\, OS/2\, and Cygwin. On every other platform (clearly the majority of them)\, this change is a no-op. I was not paying attention when this change went in\, or I would have noticed that it broke our build way back when. On the 4 platforms that require an executable suffix\, the effect of my patch is to retain "miniperl.pm" (VOS) or "miniperl.exe" (DJGPP\, OS/2\, Cygwin) as a target\, while removing "miniperl" as a target. I only see one reference to a bare "miniperl" that remains in Makefile.SH\, in the os/2 section (~line 694). It doesn't use an executable suffix\, despite the setting of the _exe variable for OS/2 in configure. This seems inconsistent to me\, and I suspect that it is either evidence that the OS/2 port has not been built in a while\, or that OS/2 doesn't really care whether the suffix is used or not. I would have expected line 694 to also reference $(MINIPERL_EXE) not miniperl.

I'd be grateful if the maintainer(s) of the DJGPP\, OS/2 and Cygwin ports would build perl with this patch in place and report on its effect. I do not think it will have any effect on them\, but life is complicated and a simple Configure/Build/Test cycle would prove or disprove my proposed change. At the very least\, it would indicate whether perl still builds on those platforms\, with or without these changes.

If these ports are no longer maintained\, then the question is moot.

Thanks PG

That's a good\, sensible\, and safe first pass assessment.

That's a good\, sensible\, and safe first pass assessment.

But\, as Craig sensibly points out\, upon more careful examination\, this is the sort of thing that perhaps should be applied. It's on my To-Do list to take a look.

I think this one should go into maint-5.12. I have "Requested" it with cherrymaint and would appreciate any "seconds". The blead version of the patch doesn't apply cleanly to maint-5.12\, but Paul has supplied a version that does apply cleanly\, so I'd propose just applying that.

a5addb1 has been marked as cherry-picked in cherrymaint. But I do not see it in the maint-5.12.x branch. Did you choose the wrong menu item?

Yes\, that's my fault. I picked "Requested"\, but later hit the down arrow trying to scroll through the list of commits and it got switched to "Cherr-picked" without me noticing. I have since gone back in and tried to change it back\, but I can't. I've been meaning to do something about that.

In any case\, don't worry about it too much since the cherry-picked patch won't apply cleanly; Paul sent in a separate 5.12.x version which I plan to apply.

Should we still be considering any of the patches submitted in this ticket\, or are they too stale?

Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

blead​:

According to previous entries in this report\, these patches were applied by sprout on 2010-10-03 (a5addb1). Updated perldelta in 810f3b7.

perl-5.12​:

These changes are present in today's copy of perl-5.12. I don't know exactly when this happened.

perl-5.10​:

I only proposed to change one file\, which is Makefile.SH. These changes were not applied\, and they are still valid. I don't know if perl-5.10 is still maintained\, but whether or not it is still maintained\, I don't think you need to apply this patch. Let sleeping dogs lie\, I say.

You can close this bug report.
