Bug 331673 – app-backup/flexbackup-1.2.1-r8 throws deprecation warnings under perl-5.12*

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John R. Graham 2010-08-08 17:41:16 UTC]

The following (currently harmless) warnings are thrown by flexbackup-1.2.1-r8 when used with perl-5.12*:
defined(%hash) is deprecated at /usr/bin/flexbackup line 1053.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
defined(%hash) is deprecated at /usr/bin/flexbackup line 4885.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)

Patches the flexbackup source and the ebuild to follow.  The patch is backwards compatible all the way to the current stable perl (5.8.8*).
