Convert perl to package v2 #1808
Conversation
Remove perl from /usr/local/...
Remove bee packages which either installed perl modules only or which provided commands which are availabe from the packaged perl. We keep some bee modules for now, which also installed into /usr/local/lib/perl5, but which provided more functionality, e.g. libraries, include files or command not available from the packaged perl: - rrdtool-1.6.0-1.x86_64 - subversion-1.6.16-1.x86_64 - wakeonlan-0.41-0.x86_64
Install wrapper for commands provided by packaged perl. Note: This commit was cherry-picked from 95d5bdb ("perl-wrapper: Install version 1.0") which was applied and later reverted. In contradiction to the commit message title, the initial version was "1.1" not "1.0". We don't correct that so that versions continue to increase.
We want to take small steps. When we replace the perl installed into /usr/local/ this time, we don't want to make an implicit upgrade but use the package with the same perl version number instead. Let the package wrpper use the package "perl-5.12.1-0" instead of "perl" which is the recommended version. Rebuild list of commands to supply in /usr/bin.
/usr/bin/perl might not be included in the list generated by the command quoted in the script if perl-5.12.1-2.x86_64 is still installed, because this packages includes a symlink /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl.

perl-5.12.1-0 is configured as LOCAL in mxpkg. Should be on local disk tomorrow, so I'll merge this tomorrow. |

Hmm, what is the reason to package the Berkeley DB executables?
[BEE] /src/mariux/beeroot/bee-files/db-5.3.28-0.bee
'/home/pmenzel/bee-files/./db.be0' -> '/src/mariux/beeroot/bee-files/db-5.3.28-0.bee'

Rebuild the wrapper without these executables?

Yes, you're welcome. There was no conflict when the wrapper was installed, because #1621 removed Berkeley DB from the system. It had to be included in the perl package, because the replaced /usr/local perl had the module BerkeleyDB which requires it.
As can be seen from the comment in the wrapper script, the list was generated automatically. It wouldn't be easy to individually decide what is required and what not. And a command , which doesn't replace an existing command, doesn't hurt (much), so everything was included.
However, yes, when there is a package to be installed into Mariux with a command same to one provided from a package wrapper, the package wrapper should step back. If you want the command from the package (e.g. to have a db_dump which matches the version of the perl script using BerkeleyDB) you can (and would need to) run db_dump in the package context (prun perl-5.12.1-0 which db_dump)
So go ahead.
Next attempt to replace the perl installed in /usr/local/bin.
First attempt was #1406, reverted in #1420. Issues in #1419 should be addressed.
We replace perl-5.12.1 from /usr/local with wrappers to /pkg/perl-5.12.1-0 now, so there is no implied upgrade of the perl version.
