Bug 81858 – media-video/dvdrip & perl 5.8.x wrapper

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description MAL 2005-02-13 07:20:05 UTC]

The latest dvdrip states in it's einfo output:

* for Perl 5.8.x you have to set PERLIO to read TOC properly
* for bash: export PERLIO=stdio
* for csh:  setenv PERLIO stdio
* into your /.rc

Why not add a wrapper script to the ebuild, that checks perl version and runs dvdrip with PERLIO=stdio if necessary, and without if not.

Reproducible: Always

noise?

Perl 5.8 is stable on all archs (there isn't an older perl in Portage anyway),
we should set this variable by default imo (a /etc/conf.d/blabla file?)

Patch to remove postinst msg

This patch removes the postinst messages completely:

1. there already is a check for perl (and PERLIO is set) in /usr/bin/dvdrip
2. we should disable the nptl workaround completely, not only on amd64. See bug
