+
+Portability fixes encountered while maintaining the pkgsrc package:
+
+* In `IkiWiki::Setup::Standard::gendump()`, generate a shebang
+  matching the current `perl`.
+* In `Makefile.PL`, provide overridable defaults for `SYSCONFDIR`
+  and `MANDIR`.
+* In `Makefile.PL`, use `perl` to bump `ikiwiki.spec` instead of
+  `sed -i`.
+* In `Makefile.PL`, specify more portable options to `cp`.
+
+I've attempted to mergeably patch these in my git, commit
+5c177c96ac98b24aaa0613ca241fb113f1b32c55.
