| Summary | 0000143: Perl PPM is out of date by 2 major versions. | ||||||
| Description |
The Perl ppm application is out of date by two major revision (current version as of 1.7.2 is 2.1.6). The later versions include support for a number of third party repositories that the current version cannot handle (due to missing functions, non-handled code etc.) While not a major issue it does cause a rather large amount of grief for those trying to install Perl reliant software. |

> The Perl ppm application is out of date by two major revision > (current version as of 1.7.2 is 2.1.6). I know "ppm version" is showing 2.1.6, but it's 2.1.9. And that's also the latest version from CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~murray/PPM/ [^] > http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.8/bin/ppm.html [^] That's a non-free (for distribution) PPM version from ActiveState. In addition, ActiveState have enhanced the PPD file format (which many repositories are using now), but have contributed back this chances to the community (CPAN). Sorry, as long there is no new version at CAPN, there is nothing I can do. |

News on this issue: I've found an unauthorized PPM release from Randy Kobes at CPAN [1] and have included this version in XAMPP 1.7.3. This version should fix most (or all?) problems. [1] http://search.cpan.org/~rkobes/PPM-0.01_01/ [^] |
