Perl issues with latest Neon Version

[tuxflo]

I just tried your nice Docker script for setting up an Dolphin build environment and I realized, that the kdesrc-build command isn't working. After some research I found out that the KDE neon developer version uses some new Perl version (5.26) that removed some things that are deprecated but still used by the kdesrc-build tool. My current workaround was:

• install perlbrew
• install a different perversion perbrew install perl-5.22.4 -n and switch to that version perlbrew switch perl-5.22.4
• install some missing modules ( perl -MCPAN -e 'install LWP""Protocol::https', perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Parser', perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'

I'm not sure if one should add those instructions to the Dockerfile or just wait until kdesrc-build moves to a new perl version.

Thanks for your great work!

Hi ! thanks for reporting the issue.

I have nothing against adding these fixes in the Dockerfile if they are a temporary but necessary workaround to get kdesrc-build to work properly.

In the meantime i would advise you to get in touch with the people behind kdesrc-build on the KDE mailing lists, and explain the problem.

I'm not working on KDE anymore, just maintaining this script :)

Thanks !

If it helps, I don't /think/ kdesrc-build actually uses any of libwww-perl or XML::Parser anymore. It's done so previously but it shouldn't be asking for them anymore. YAML::XS (or YAML::PP) and JSON::PP are required though, and Mojolicious likely will be required in the future.

Also I'm the kdesrc-build dev and I've been working on improving the "first run" experience with help from Docker to do testing so I was quite interested to see this repository!

hi @purinchu , it would be my pleasure to see it used and advertised by KDE devs !
