[rt-users] rt-3.4.4 and mod_perl2

[Steven E. Ames]

The problem is with Mason (www/p5-HTML-Mason). The version in ports is 1.28 and you need at least 1.30 to play (preferably 1.3101). The quick and dirty way would be to do this:

1. edit www/p5-HTML-Mason/Makefile. Change version from 1.28 to 1.3101.
2. Remove www/p5-HTML-Mason/distinfo
3. install it.

  http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-users/2005-July/032445.html

but haven't seen anybody saying that it's working.  Is it possible?

Thanks in advance,
