#44588: libpurple: add perl dependency
--------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: ionic@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: haspatch tracemode | Port: libpurple
--------------------------------+--------------------------------
Both `libpurple` and `pidgin` can be built with `perl` support, providing
a means of scripting of the protocol/networking or UI portion (c.f.
[https://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev2.x.y/html/perl-howto.html the
pidgin developer documentation]).
Perl support is currently enabled for `pidgin`, but not `libpurple`.
The `configure` script bails out if `perl` was not explicitly disabled but
unavailable, leading to a build error in `trace mode`.
`devans` is in favor of unconditionally enabling Perl support. I am
backing this decision.
This patch moves `perl5.16` to a common dependency of both `pidgin` and
`libpurple`.
Revbump on libpurple to account for that change, even for users not using
`trace mode`, as the possibility of users only installing `libpurple` but
not `pidgin` exists and those might be missing `perl5.16`.
