>Description:
With the latest IO::Async the MergePoint package was removed and is now located in Async::MergePoint instead of IO::Async::MergePoint.
The port did not take this into account, so any code using IO::Async::ChildManager broke (since Async::MergePoint wasn't found).

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to run code using IO::Async::ChildManager

>Fix:

Add this port, and update p5-IO-Async to require p5-Async-MergePoint

XOften in program logic, multiple different steps need to be taken that
Xare independent of each other, but their total result is needed before
Xthe next step can be taken. In synchonous code, the usual approach is
Xto do them sequentially.
X
XAn asynchronous or event-based program could do this, but if each step
Xinvolves some IO idle time, better overall performance can often be
Xgained by running the steps in parallel. A Async::MergePoint object
Xcan then be used to wait for all of the steps to complete, before
Xpassing the combined result of each step on to the next stage.
X
XA merge point maintains a set of outstanding operations it is waiting
Xon; these are arbitrary string values provided at the object's
Xconstruction. Each time the done() method is called, the named item is
Xmarked as being complete. When all of the required items are so
Xmarked, the on_finished continuation is invoked.
X
XFor use cases where code may be split across several different lexical
Xscopes, it may not be convenient or possible to share a lexical
Xvariable, to pass on the result of some asynchronous operation. In
Xthese cases, when an item is marked as complete a value can also be
Xprovided which contains the results of that step. The on_finished
Xcallback is passed a hash (in list form, rather than by reference) of
Xthe collected item values.
X
XThis module was originally part of the IO::Async distribution, but was
Xremoved under the inspiration of Pedro Melo's Async::Hooks
Xdistribution, because it doesn't itself contain anything IO-specific.
