Replying to [comment:7 mojca@…]:
> Could be. The module was removed by `raimue` in r103157 with a long
explanation. I bet we need Rainer's help on this.
I am glad I wrote that explanation, as I did not remember the reasons for
the removal. But what I wrote makes sense, the port conflicted with the
perl core installation.
> Alternatively we could use different versions of `p5-extutils-xspp` for
different versions of Perl.
The problem is the conflict on the `/opt/local/bin/xsubpp-5.*` tool. If
you want to split it out into its own module, you have to remove this file
from the `perl5.*` port and only a potential `p5.*-extutils-parsexs` port
may provide it. That means we need updated dependencies for all ports that
use this module.
Also, this would be different from what a normal Perl distribution looks
like; other software might expect this to be part of the Perl core
modules. I am not sure if that is something we want to do.
Providing different versions of `p5.*-extutils-xspp` for each version of
`perl5.*` sounds like an easier way to go forward on this issue.
