Commit 378eeda70c (removing Borland compiler support on Win32) has removed a file (win32/config_H.bc) from the list of 'writables' -- the files which are made writable in perl release tarballs by Porting/makerel. It has occurred to me that this might cause a problem when next uploading a perl release if there is special handling in the PAUSE indexer to allow certain files to be writable and the list is no longer as expected. I also notice that the list doesn't include the fairly recently added win32/config_H.gc64 and win32/config_H.gc64nox files either, but also doesn't include the older win32/config_H.vc64 file. Should they all be added to the list? What is the purpose of it anyway? Presumably things are working for people using those 64-bit compilers, so should we actually remove the remaining win32/config_H.* (gc and vc) files from the list instead if their presence there serves no purpose?Thread Next
