Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2009-11-14 07:15:26 UTC 
dev-perl/Net-OAuth requires >=Encode-2.35. 
dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r6 bundles Encode-2.12, and that has a bunch of collisions with adding a new package for the Encode externally:
/usr/bin/enc2xs
/usr/bin/piconv
/usr/share/man/man1/piconv.1.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/enc2xs.1.bz2

I think we should probably drop Encode from the dev-lang/perl build, and bring in the external package instead?

*dev-perl/Net-OAuth-0.20 that is. The old 0.19 version works with the older Encode.

With the number of dual-life modules with colliding scripts this gets ugly.
We solved it by using the alternatives.eclass in perl-5.10.1.

I can add a 5.8.8 with the alternatives eclass.

BTW: This is a dup of 235904

=dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r8 and a fixed perl-module.eclass are in tree.

perl-5.8.8-r8 is currently masked. Please test it.
Comment 4 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-15 14:54:30 UTC 
Unmasked.
