Details

Description: perl 5.36.1-2 added db to depends without removing db5.3 which it was switched to due to licensing issues when db was updated to an AGPL3 licensed release. I believe the changes in the attached diffs will allow building perl with db-5.3 without db. [1] Creates library symlinks in /usr/lib/db5.3/ it also removes static libs which were left in /usr/lib. [2] Adds /usr/lib/db5.3/ to Configure's library search path so it can find -ldb. Also add matching include path /usr/include/db5.3.

Additional info:

  • perl 5.36.1-2
  • db5.3 5.3.28-2
  • db 6.2.32-1 [1] PKGBUILD.db6.3.diff [2] PKGBUILD.perl.diff
