#73997: hivex @1.3.24_1: hivexregedit missing because perl can't be enabled
---------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  jpz4085  |      Owner:  mohd-akram
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  Normal   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.12.5
 Keywords:           |       Port:  hivex
---------------------+------------------------
 There is an apparent regression when building the current version of this
 port. The lines in the Portfile to create perl5 variants were removed in
 [changeset:0196bc1089c8a6aa557e2fb9da6ca93a358e4776/macports-ports commit
 0196bc1] "fix dependencies" and replaced with a depends_run statement. As
 a result perl support is disabled and hivexregedit is not available when
 the port is installed. Obviously this will cause issues for anyone using
 this tool. If this was not intentional the issue can be easily remedied by
 adding the create_variants line back as shown below.
