p5-Data-SwapXS module to swap the contents and types of referenced variables
0.08_1develΣ=0 0.08_1Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.
BROKEN: uses hidden Perl functions that are hidden after 5.37.0 DEPRECATED: uses hidden Perl functions that are hidden after 5.37.0 This port expired on: 2026-08-01 IGNORE: is marked as broken: uses hidden Perl functions that are hidden after 5.37.0
Paraphrased from the Data:Swap's documentation ...
Data::Swap (XS) module allows to swap the contents of two referenced
variables, even if they have different types. The main application is
to change the base type of an object after it has been created, for
example for dynamic loading of data structures:
swap $self, bless $replacement, $newclass;
perl: mark broken for Perl 5.37+
Taken from https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/19655:
> hide private functions with __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))
> This allows us to enforce API boundaries and potentially enables
> compiler optimisations.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the

Remove all the bootstrap files (.bs) from the plists.
Starting with perl 5.20, they're not installed any more if empty,
and on FreeBSD, they're (always ?) empty.
