Comment (by mojca@…):
Perfect. I wasn't aware of existence of `py-graveyard`. Yes, I totally
agree to keep the code of `p5-graveyard` and `py-graveyard` as close to
each other as possible. The code I attached was basically the same idea,
only a different implementation.
The only change I would suggest to make is to leave out the individual
numbers of perl versions that need a replacement. First of all it will be
very difficult to figure out which versions need a replacement (we would
need to go through history of every Portfile and figure out which subports
have been replaced). And also: almost every port included support for all
perl versions, so we don't gain almost anything by trying not to include
some previously non-existing ports.
So my suggestion would be to iterate through 5.8-5.14 for every single
subport. There's no need to make any extra effort to try to exclude some
versions. After a year we can remove 5.8-5.14 and maybe introduce the
replacement 5.16, 5.18 ->5.22 by then.
What's the best way to list all Perl (sub)ports together with their
current version?
