nginx-devel causing upgrade problems
Currently both www/nginx and www/nginx-devel have exactly the same
version. This means that binary package repositories only have the
version from www/nginx available, and anyone who performs an upgrade
which had nginx-devel installed will not get it upgraded, which will
cause runtime errors if they upgrade through the recent perl bump:
ld.so.1: nginx: fatal: libperl.so: open failed: No such file or directory
as libperl.so lives in a versioned directory which changed location
between 5.34 and 5.36.
Is there still a strong requirement that we have the -devel package at
all? It does cause confusion for folks who are simply presented with a
list of packages and don't know why we ship multiple nginx's, and I'd
certainly want to avoid this situation again where they both ship
identical versions so that the package isn't shipped at all.
And yes, there's definitely a case here for pkgin to do better to warn
the user that the upgrade will not be complete. I'll be addressing this
at some point.
Thanks,
