Created attachment 354740 [details, diff] patch for perl subslots With proper support for EAPI5 sub-slots and slot-operators, as well as packages that inherit them being bumped to EAPI5 (and revbumped, as is necessary for sub-slots and slot-operator deps to take effect), gentoo could effectively make perl-cleaner obsolete. Attached is the patch to perl-app.eclass and perl-module.eclass I tested last year, during the EAPI5 adoption process. This, along with bumping packages to EAPI5 that inherit perl-module or perl-app, suffices. I have patches for all ebuilds inheriting perl-module and perl-app , as of nearly a year ago; however I expect that most of these patches will no longer apply cleanly. Since there's a big push to bump ebuilds for bug 478714 anyhow, it might be a good time to adopt this feature as well.
Could this be pushed a bit? We are still getting a some reports with the usual "xml-parser" not found errors due people forgetting to run perl-cleaner :( Thanks
Has been committed (very similar to Ian's patch).
Thanks!
