Ebuild Parsing errors - EAPI 5

[scottfurry]

Gentoo tree update (3Q/2022) resulted in changes to ebuild standards. Several ebuilds in raigent tree produced error messages because of Gentoo changes.

Typical error message:

     Reading category  52|176 ( 29): dev-perl...

OMG. I hang my bald head in public shame. I'd entirely forgotten that we'd even packaged Perl cruft. Since Perl no longer intersects with my interests, I've last-rited (i.e., permanently removed) the entire dev-perl/* subtree.

Thanks so much for the lucid details, @scottfurry. You're stunning! I hope you're having an equally great summer wherever you may roam in Canada. You rock. :rock:
