Description Jonathan 2015-12-24 11:00:39 UTC

Just like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341518, perl-all.py needs updating to reflect currently available versions of Perl.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install perl with 'emerge perl'

Actual Results:  
Scripts attempt to download Perl version 5.20.1, which is no longer available

Expected Results:  
Should install correct version 5.22.0

Simple fix:

A better solution could automatically detect and install the most recent version.

Which branch are you working on? Please keep in mind that all non-master branches are basically not maintained...

Comment 2 Jonathan 2015-12-27 07:11:41 UTC

My mistake I was building the kde-4.14 branch. Perhaps the techbase page https://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows could be updated to reflect the fact that only the master branch is maintained?

Comment 3 Patrick Spendrin 2015-12-28 22:38:20 UTC

I updated the wiki a bit, I am not sure if I should remove the parts about stable branches as well (as there currently is no stable branch)
