Description Jase Thew 2011-07-12 16:10:10 UTC 
Perl 5.14 changes format of compiled regexps. This patch amends the pattern awstats uses to parse
compiled regexps to cater for the new 5.14 format.

The patch was taken from the upstream bug tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3311848&group_id=13764&atid=113764

I've smoke tested this and it resolves the issue.

Port maintainer (samm@os2.kiev.ua) is cc'd.

Patch is still in the "open" state. Do you know if developers are going 
to commit it? I am not very happy with non-official patches.

I think unofficial patches are perfectly acceptable especially when a) 
they unbreak a port, b) are extremely trivial and c) can be removed when 
the bug is actually fixed upstream and a new release is cut.

But it's your port, so it's your call. I'm quite happy to run it as a 
local patch, but thought other users of the port running with Perl 5.14 
would like to benefit from it.

Regards,

Jase.

Agree with your arguments.
Ok, i checked CVS and it seems that devs are not very active last 
months. I`m accepting this patch, thank you for commit. I hope it will 
not break anything else.

Hi

I just wanted to say thanks for adding the patch to the port (I'm the =
original author of the fix). I was actually considering sending a PR =
about it myself after I posted my solution to the awstats bug tracker, =
but decided against it for maintainer's reasons. Unfortunately, it seems =
awstats development has practically ended, making it necessary to =
maintain local patches like this.

Thanks,
Alex
