9 | * MIN_PERL_VERSION test had some goofs on VMS. [thanks Craig Berry] |
10 | |
11 | |
12 | 6.47_01 Tue Oct 14 12:38:05 EDT 2008 |
13 | New Features |
14 | * Added optional parameter MIN_PERL_VERSION, to define minimal |
15 | required perl version for dependency checks and to pass on to |
16 | META.yml and ppd files. [rt.cpan.org 28374] |
17 | Thanks to David Golden, Alexandr Ciornii (chorny) and Martin Becker |
18 | |
19 | Bug Fixes |
20 | * Guard against a path to Perl with a space in it. |
21 | From Max Maischein. [bleadperl@32905] |
22 | |
23 | Test Fixes |
24 | - Small fix for VOS from Paul Green [bleadperl@33259] |
25 | |
26 | Other |
27 | * $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision, $ExtUtils::MM_Unix::Revision and |
28 | $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision are all now based on $VERSION. You |
29 | shouldn't be using them for anything anyway. |

33 | Bug Fixes |
34 | - Fix META_MERGE for more than one level of hashes. [rt.cpan.org 39348] |
35 | |
36 | |
37 | 6.45_02 Sun Sep 7 13:59:14 PDT 2008 |
38 | Bug Fixes |
39 | - Updated bundled ExtUtils::Command to 1.14, ExtUtils::Install to |
40 | 1.50 and ExtUtils::Manifest to 1.54 |
41 | |
42 | Test Fixes |
b5b9b385 |
43 | - t/writemakefile_args.t had the wrong skip amount causing failures |
2e65e370 |
44 | when run without version.pm (mostly 5.6 users) |
45 | |
46 | |
47 | 6.45_01 Sat Sep 6 03:19:03 PDT 2008 |
48 | New Features |
49 | * META_ADD and META_MERGE have been added to manipulate the META.yml. |
50 | Thanks to Adriano Ferreira. [rt.cpan.org 21282] |
51 | - META.yml now includes configure_requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker by |
52 | default. [rt.cpan.org 32337] |
53 | - META.yml now excludes t/ and inc/ from indexing by default. |
54 | - META.yml license is now "unknown" instead of undef if a LICENSE is not |
55 | given. |
56 | - META.yml now conforms to version 1.4 of the spec. |
57 | |
58 | Bug Fixes |
59 | - Make @MM_Sections and @Overridable global again. It's an undocumented |
60 | but used way to manipulate MakeMaker behavior. [rt.cpan.org 36047] |
61 | |
62 | Portability |
63 | * Changed the name/dmake test in MM_Win32.pm to use regexs to that |
64 | they are able to handle Perl on a Stick absolute paths. |
65 | |
66 | |
67 | 6.44 Thu Feb 28 16:06:04 PST 2008 |
68 | Bug Fixes |
69 | * Updated bundled ExtUtils::Install to 1.45 which should fix some |
70 | Cygwin issues. [rt.cpan.org 33291] |

73 | 6.43_01 Tue Jan 1 16:06:47 PST 2008 |
74 | Bug Fixes |
75 | * Change the "is this really a Perl core library directory" checks to |
76 | look for strict instead of Exporter. Now that Exporter is on CPAN |
77 | it can wind up in site_perl. |
78 | * split_command() will now set aside a little more space for macro |
79 | expansion. This should help on systems with cramped command line |
80 | lengths. Specifically, Pugs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 20145] |
81 | |
82 | Installation |
83 | * MakeMaker would not install if the installed MakeMaker was too old, |
84 | like on 5.6.1. The installation process was still using the |
85 | installed MakeMaker in a few places. This has been fixed. |
86 | [rt.cpan.org 24746] |
87 | |
88 | OS X |
89 | * "make dist" will no longer bundle up resource fork files (._foo). |
90 | [rt.cpan.org 29525] |
91 | |
92 | Docs |
93 | * The documentation of VERSION_FROM was recommending vstrings (1.2.3) |
94 | which have never worked right. |
95 | * The documentation for the accepted values of LICENSE moved to |
96 | Module::Build::API. [rt.cpan.org 32020] |
97 | |
98 | Tests |
99 | * The compilation test was testing the installed modules, not the |
100 | about-to-be-installed. |
101 | * xs.t would fail if ExtUtils::CBuilder was not installed. |
102 | |
103 | Misc |
104 | * Cleanups brought to you by no more 5.5 compatibility! |
105 | * MakeMaker is now perlcritic clean at severity level 5... except |
106 | the really silly ones. |
107 | * DIE use vars DIE! |
108 | * Added some resources to the META.yml |
109 | |

110 | 6.42 Fri Dec 7 17:00:14 PST 2007 |
111 | Bug Fixes |
112 | - 6.33 moved PREREQ_FATAL to happen after CONFIGURE. This meant if |
113 | your CONFIGURE use a prereq it would fail and no PREREQ_FATAL |
114 | message would be displayed. |
115 | - Put the "nicetext" functionality back, VMS needs it to deal with |
116 | other people's custom make. But rename it to the more |
117 | accurate maketext_filter(), test it and fix a bug where it would |
118 | stop processing if it saw a macro declaration. |
119 | |
3a0105ce |
120 | 6.40 Thu Dec 6 03:00:47 PST 2007 |
121 | Bug Fixes |
122 | - Remove the dubious nicetext() Makefile formatting hack to account for |
123 | a lack of space between the target and colon needed on VMS. This |
124 | interfered with META.yml creation on VMS and possibly other output. |
125 | - Fix the remaining targets which don't have a space between the target |
126 | and the colon. |
127 | |

128 | 6.38 Wed Nov 28 16:01:12 PST 2007 |
129 | Releasing 6.37_03 as 6.38. |
130 | |
e9f47f3b |
131 | 6.37_03 Mon Nov 26 14:15:34 PST 2007 |
132 | Tests |
133 | - parse_version.t had wrong test count when version.pm isn't installed. |
134 | - Fixed some warnings in the XS module we're using for testing. |
135 | - "our $VERSION" test in parse_version.t was never running |
136 | - Quoting uses of 1.2.3 style versions in parse_version.t to protect |
137 | older perls. |
138 | |
139 | Portability |
140 | - Moved the minimum required version up to 5.6.0. |

142 | 6.37_02 Sun Nov 25 23:33:14 PST 2007 |
143 | Test Improvements |
144 | - Added a test for a basic XS build. |
145 | |
146 | Bug Fixes |
147 | - A refactoring in 6.37_01 broke XS compilation. |
148 | |
149 | 6.37_01 Sun Nov 25 17:05:53 PST 2007 |
150 | Improvements |
151 | - Upgraded the META.yml to version 1.3 of the spec (which really |
152 | doesn't change anything). Thanks bdfoy. |
153 | - MakeMaker now always includes the required 'author' field in |
154 | the META.yml even if it's undef to comply with the META.yml spec. |
155 | - Updated ExtUtils-Install to latest version (1.44) |
156 | - Unified the version numbers of all modules. |
157 | |
158 | Test Fixes |
159 | - cd() test on VMS used non-native paths. [bleadperl 31534] |
160 | - Removed uses of "no_plan" in tests to remain compatible with |
161 | old versions of Test::Harness. |
162 | - writemakefile_args.t had the wrong test count if version.pm isn't |
163 | installed. |
164 | |
165 | Bug Fixes |
166 | - $VERSION detection code would be confused by "sub version" |
167 | [rt.cpan.org 30747] |
168 | - LINKTYPE=static will now be propagated to child builds. |
169 | [bleadperl 31761] |
170 | |
171 | Portability Fixes |
172 | - Add "dragonfly" to the list of BSDish operating systems |
173 | - BSD detection code would not pick up bsdos or internix |
174 | - Fix detection of shared libperl on NetBSD [bleadperl 31526] |
175 | |
176 | |
177 | 6.36 Tue Jul 3 01:06:40 PDT 2007 |
178 | Test Fixes |
179 | - version.pm prior to 0.7203 caused Foo->VERSION to reformat |
180 | $Foo::VERSION. This caused prereq.t to fail. |
181 | |
182 | 6.35 Sun Jul 1 20:53:38 PDT 2007 |
183 | New Features |
184 | * MakeMaker will now try to "use version" before parsing $VERSION. |
185 | This allows "$VERSION = qv(1.2.3)" to work. |
186 | |
187 | Test Fixes |
188 | - writemakefile_args.t now works with older versions of version.pm |
189 | |
190 | 6.34 Sat Jun 30 11:06:54 CDT 2007 |
191 | Test Fixes |
192 | - Accidentally hard coded the version of strict.pm [rt.cpan.org 27838] |
193 | |
194 | 6.33 Fri Jun 29 17:15:34 CDT 2007 |
195 | New Features |
196 | * VERSION now accepts version objects without warning. |
197 | [rt.cpan.org 26075] |
198 | |
199 | Bug Fixes |
200 | - Properly not installing MANIFEST.SKIP when ExtUtils::Manifest is not |
201 | being installed. [rt.cpan.org 21318] |
202 | - fixin() no longer clobbers $/ [rt.cpan.org 26234] |
203 | - Fixed bug finding cross-compiled perls [bleadperl 31404] |
204 | - Looking up to 8 levels up to find uninstalled perls |
205 | [bleadperl 30932] |
206 | * A test failure in a sub-project would not cause "make test" to |
207 | fail. [rt.cpan.org 27804] |
208 | |
209 | Windows |
210 | - Embed manifest files in EXEs and DLLs when building with VC++ 8.x |
211 | [bleadperl #29266] [rt.cpan.org 26208] |
212 | - Improved the subdir command code so DIR can do more than one level |
213 | down. [rt.cpan.org 25180] |
214 | - Fix static builds on Win32 by using -DPERLDLL [bleadperl 31229] |
215 | |
216 | VMS |
217 | - Use linker flags rather than compiler flags to determine if the |
218 | perl sharable image was linked debug. This keeps OPTIMIZE from |
219 | confusing things. [rt.cpan.org 25268] |
220 | - Accidental use of $\ in a regex. [bleadperl 30521] |
221 | |
222 | BSD |
223 | - If calling perl causes MakeMaker to emit warnings, then it |
224 | cannot find the location of its binary. [rt.cpan.org 23178] |
225 | |
226 | Doc Improvements |
227 | - Typo fixes. $(TOUNIX) -> $(TO_UNIX). [rt.cpan.org 23495] |
228 | - The example for setting $VERSION from $Revision$ in SVN was |
229 | incorrect. (Thanks to ROBERTMAY@cpan.org) [rt.cpan.org 26995] |
230 | - Document what's wrong with PREFIX and what to use instead. |
231 | [rt.cpan.org 12919] |
232 | - Improve the PREREQ_FATAL docs to make it really clear that you |
233 | do NOT want to use this! |
234 | |
235 | Misc |
236 | - Provide information during the install about whether we're using the |
237 | installed or provided dependency (ie. ExtUtils::Command). |
238 | - Updated included versions of ExtUtils::Manifest and Command. |
239 | - Add .bak and .old to veryclean [rt.cpan.org 21284] |
240 | - Improved the PREREQ_FATAL message. |
241 | |
242 | 6.32 Wed Feb 21 07:59:57 PST 2007 |
243 | New Features |
244 | - WriteEmptyMakefile() is now exportable upon request. |
245 | |
246 | Bug Fixes |
247 | - Set binmode() when writing to files in Command.t for operating |
248 | systems which need that sort of thing. [bleadperl #29578] |
249 | - Fixed a minor duplication in manifypod_target(). [rt.cpan.org 22149] |
250 | |
251 | Test Fixes |
252 | - The build_man.t test would fail if your Perl is configured to not |
253 | generate man pages ($Config{installman3dir} is set to none). |
254 | |
255 | Doc Improvements |
256 | - Made the home dir install examples a little more friendly to non-Unix |
257 | folks. |
258 | |
259 | Misc |
260 | - miniperl no longer has the Win32 functions. |
261 | - Turn on "use strict" where it was missing. |
262 | |
562c8117 |
263 | 6.31 Mon Oct 9 16:54:47 PDT 2006 |
264 | - Update our META.yml to version 1.2 of the spec. |
265 | * Update the SEE ALSO to mention Module::Build, Module::Install, |
266 | ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter. |
267 | - Fix ARCHITECTURE tag in PPD generation for 5.8 (patch taken from |
268 | ActiveState 819). [rt.cpan.org 20566] |
269 | * Bring ExtUtils::Manifest up to 1.48 |
270 | |
58d32538 |
271 | 6.30_04 Mon Sep 11 16:14:06 EDT 2006 |
272 | - EXTRA_META has been undocumented as I don't like the way the |
273 | interface works but I don't want to hold up 6.31. It will be |
274 | replaced with something better next version. |
275 | - Added explaination of distclean behavior and instructions on how to |
276 | blow away anything not in the MANIFEST to the FAQ. |
277 | * 6.30_01 broke overrides of PM. MakeMaker would add to a user |
278 | suplied PM rather than simply accepting it. |
279 | * Document INSTALL_BASE. |
280 | * Added "How do I install a module into my home directory?" to the FAQ |
281 | * Added "How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the |
282 | same place?" |
283 | - Moving ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap back into |
284 | lib/ because no independent distribution has taken them over. |
285 | |
286 | 6.30_03 Fri Sep 1 17:03:11 EDT 2006 |
287 | - Minor fix to Command.t for Win32. |
288 | |
289 | 6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006 |
290 | - Updated to ExtUtils::Install 1.41 |
291 | * Won't scan for and build man pages when MAN3PODS is deliberately set |
292 | empty. |
293 | - Minor VMS fixes. [bleadperl@26813] |
294 | - VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [bleadperl@27613] |
295 | * Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and |
296 | INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536] |
297 | - Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [bleadperl@26457] |
298 | - $Revision was broken. |
299 | - Updated our internal version of Test::More to catch a few warnings. |
300 | - ExtUtils::Command::test_f() test was broken. |
301 | - Clarified that test_f() exits. |
302 | |
2977d345 |
303 | 6.30_01 Tue Aug 16 23:53:27 PDT 2005 |
304 | * Fixed compiling modules using an uninstalled Perl on Win32 by using |
305 | the proper perl header location for Windows (which is different from |
306 | Unix). Looks like a very old bug. [bugs.perl.org 36128] |
307 | - $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision accidentally left in a stray "Revision". |
308 | [thanks pdx.pm for noticing this] |
309 | - Fixed the $VERSION = $Revision$ example in the MakeMaker docs and the |
310 | FAQ. [thanks again, pdx.pm] |
311 | - Elaborated on the differences between CVS, SVN and others when using |
312 | $Revision$ based $VERSIONs. |
313 | * ExtUtils::Command, ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Manifest, |
314 | ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap, ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Packlist |
315 | are all now considered to be separate distributions. To avoid a |
316 | circular dependency, MakeMaker distributes its own versions but CPAN |
317 | should not index them and they will not overwrite a newer, installed |
318 | version. |
319 | * Added EXTRA_META option to allow module authors to append extra |
320 | text to the generated META.yml. |
321 | * Added a LICENSE field mirroring Module::Build's license. |
322 | * META.yml support updated to version 1.1. All required fields |
323 | now generated. (NOTE: 1.1 isn't yet complete but we're going with |
324 | it anyway. MakeMaker uses "author" instead of "authored_by" as its |
325 | expected the former will be used in 1.1 final). |
326 | * Non-conforming version_from and installdirs META.yml fields removed. |
327 | * META.yml distribution_type field now intelligent enough to guess at |
328 | the type rather than hard code 'module'. |
329 | * INSTALLBASE changed to INSTALL_BASE to match Module::Build. |
330 | * Added a MAKE parameter for Windows users to say if they're using |
331 | dmake or nmake. |
332 | |
4325052d |
333 | 6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005 |
334 | * PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its |
335 | supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after. |
336 | - Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older |
337 | Test::Harness. |
338 | |
41e5fcb0 |
339 | 6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005 |
340 | * The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several |
341 | CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have |
342 | INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built |
343 | modules. |
344 | - Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable. |
345 | - Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored. |
346 | |
76ca89ed |
347 | 6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005 |
348 | - Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core |
349 | - Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths |
350 | be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core) |
351 | - Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside |
352 | it and any which happen to be in subdirs. |
353 | - MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker. |
354 | (bleadperl@24185) |
355 | - Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning) |
356 | |
7292dc67 |
357 | 6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005 |
358 | * Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative |
359 | directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP. |
360 | |
361 | 6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005 |
362 | * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being |
363 | passed the file they were to generate. |
364 | * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is |
365 | now documented. |
366 | * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented. |
367 | |
368 | 6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005 |
369 | |
370 | 6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005 |
371 | - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest |
372 | version is found. |
373 | - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10. |
374 | |
375 | 6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005 |
376 | - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any. |
377 | - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part |
378 | of RT 6460 in 6.25_02. |
379 | |
380 | 6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005 |
381 | - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I |
382 | couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility. |
383 | This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various |
384 | previous alpha releases. |
385 | |
386 | 6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005 |
387 | - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent |
388 | and better. |
389 | - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are |
390 | now possible. |
391 | |
392 | 6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005 |
393 | - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it. |
394 | - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN |
395 | made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left |
396 | XSUBPP alone. |
397 | - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can |
398 | make commands too long on VMS. |
399 | - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using |
400 | .exists files everywhere. |
401 | - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS. |
402 | - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds. |
403 | - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. |
404 | - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892) |
405 | - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with |
406 | Module::Install |
407 | |
408 | 6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004 |
409 | - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice. |
410 | - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring |
411 | it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy. |
412 | - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to |
413 | a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas. |
414 | |
415 | 6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004 |
416 | - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro. |
417 | - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as |
418 | targets as their mod time changes too frequently. |
419 | * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented |
420 | it yet. I'll do that next release. |
421 | |
422 | 6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004 |
423 | - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command". |
424 | Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro. |
425 | - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed. |
426 | - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for |
427 | Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP. |
428 | |
429 | 6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004 |
430 | - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules. |
431 | |
432 | 6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004 |
433 | - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own |
434 | target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This |
435 | ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes |
436 | things like SVN's perl bindings. |
437 | |
438 | 6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004 |
439 | - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier |
440 | macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations |
441 | like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32. |
442 | [rt.cpan.org 4545] |
443 | - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting |
444 | directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851] |
445 | - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before |
446 | we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460] |
447 | - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and |
448 | several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18. |
449 | |
450 | 6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004 |
451 | * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP. |
452 | * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will |
453 | only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers, |
454 | they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time. |
455 | * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build |
456 | directory. It will only be generated in the distdir. |
457 | - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed. |
458 | - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files. |
459 | This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to |
460 | Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix. |
461 | |
5dca256e |
462 | 6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004 |
463 | - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now |
464 | ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809] |
465 | - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP |
466 | |
467 | 6.24_01 Thu Dec 9 00:44:48 EST 2004 |
468 | - Docs encouraged possibly insecure use of /tmp [CAN-2004-0976 via Debian] |
469 | - Remove empty rpath from .so files [bleadperl@23183] |
470 | - At long last the core man page title has its apostrophe. |
471 | - BeOS tests fixed [Ingo Weinhold] [perlbug #32717] |
472 | - Putting a pm_to_blib target back (alias of pm_to_blib.ts) in case |
473 | anyone was depending on it being there (mod_perl was). |
474 | |
475 | 6.24 Tue Nov 30 15:35:13 EST 2004 |
476 | - dir_target() was accidentally named dir_targets() causing problems |
477 | installing some Tk modules. |
478 | |
479 | 6.23 Fri Nov 26 16:01:50 EST 2004 |
480 | - MM_MacOS lost its $VERSION causing some CPAN indexing problems. Enough |
481 | people noticed this to warrant a quick release. |
482 | |
483 | 6.22 Tue Nov 23 22:22:22 EST 2004 |
484 | - Minor glitch in Command.t test on Win32 [thanks Steve Hay] |
485 | * Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP so it avoids all the new *.ts files. |
486 | - Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments |
487 | |
488 | 6.21_03 Sat Apr 3 2004 |
489 | - pm_to_blib and blibdirs stamp files now pm_to_blib.ts and blibdirs.ts |
490 | everywhere because some filesystems insist you have a dot in the |
491 | filename. This eliminates a bunch of special case code. |
03c94fc2 |
492 | - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic. |
493 | - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential |
494 | errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway. |
495 | - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP. |
5dca256e |
496 | * Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run. |
497 | * Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building |
03c94fc2 |
498 | large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson] |
5dca256e |
499 | * test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}. |
03c94fc2 |
500 | [Greg Matheson] |
501 | - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available. |
502 | [Slaven Rezic] |
503 | - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives. |
504 | [Slaven Rezic] |
505 | - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?" |
506 | and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie] |
5dca256e |
507 | - Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume |
508 | [Ilya Zakharevich] |
509 | - When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed |
510 | xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig] |
511 | - makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries |
512 | not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032] |
513 | * MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use |
514 | Module::Build instead. |
515 | * Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on |
516 | VMS. [rt 4675] |
517 | - For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any |
518 | existing uses. |
519 | - Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN). |
520 | This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616] |
521 | - realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories |
522 | wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208] |
523 | - fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955] |
524 | - ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS |
525 | [rt 4687] |
526 | - hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O |
527 | contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test |
528 | mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365] |
529 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on |
530 | VMS. [rt 4676] |
531 | - parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs. |
532 | [rt 5633] |

af7522e5 |
534 | 6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003 |
03c94fc2 |
535 | - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of |
af7522e5 |
536 | PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed |
537 | (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger] |
538 | - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version |
539 | for backwards compatibility. |
540 | - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of |
541 | modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written. |
542 | |
dd0810f9 |
543 | 6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003 |
544 | - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we |
545 | take a more conservative approach. |
546 | - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows. |
547 | - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290] |
548 | - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase] |
549 | - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing |
550 | nmake [rt 4285 4301] |
551 | |
a7d1454b |
552 | 6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003 |
553 | - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and |
554 | teardown the dummy modules as needed. |
555 | - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set |
556 | - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR) |
557 | instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL |
558 | INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected. |
559 | |
560 | 6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003 |
561 | - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich) |
562 | - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase) |
563 | * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now |
564 | fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for |
565 | $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older |
566 | Perls. |
567 | * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds. |
568 | * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead. |
569 | - Removed now unused dir_target() method. |
570 | - Added a little documentation to instmodsh. |
571 | * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use |
572 | it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of |
573 | PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS. |
574 | * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang) |
575 | - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake |
576 | made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2 |
577 | - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix() |
578 | * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used. |
579 | * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and |
580 | open.pm (Autrijus Tang) |
581 | - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded. |
582 | * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing. |
583 | * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a |
584 | warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml |
585 | - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims) |
586 | * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed |
587 | (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea) |
588 | * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last |
589 | November and nobody noticed. |
590 | - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set |
591 | by the user. |
592 | - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories |
593 | * Documented UNINST=1 |
594 | |
30361541 |
595 | 6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003 |
596 | - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves) |
597 | * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so |
598 | it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found. |
599 | * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB |
600 | (Orton Yves) |
601 | - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others) |
602 | where a read-only file cannot be deleted. |
603 | - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates |
604 | ndbgperl.exe. |
605 | - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument. |
606 | |
2c91f887 |
607 | 6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003 |
608 | * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old |
609 | versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS). |
610 | - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed. |
611 | [Sreeji K Das] |
612 | * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP |
613 | - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel |
614 | bleadperl@20530) |
615 | - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to |
616 | causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180) |
617 | |
64964e6d |
618 | 6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003 |
619 | - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already |
620 | installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon) |
621 | |
622 | 6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003 |
623 | - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml |
624 | itself and the metafile documentation. |
625 | - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the |
626 | way of users adding code to the manifypods target. |
627 | - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using |
628 | it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man |
629 | installation targets in a backwards compatible way. |
630 | * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs. |
631 | |

632 | 6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003 |
633 | - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester) |
634 | - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This |
635 | was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345. |
636 | - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up. |
637 | |
1b0fc073 |
638 | 6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003 |
639 | - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and |
640 | prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than |
641 | "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283) |
642 | - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean" |
643 | (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this |
644 | was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't |
645 | blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied |
646 | to INST_*. |
647 | - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking |
648 | for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a |
649 | really bizarre way. |
650 | |
651 | 6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003 |
652 | - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke |
653 | - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run |
654 | twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again. |
655 | * Noting where to find make in the README |
656 | * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile |
657 | on Windows. |
1b0fc073 |
658 | |
659 | 6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003 |
660 | * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default |
661 | always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949] |
662 | * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which |
663 | tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL |
664 | (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's). |
665 | This appears to be a rather old bug. |
666 | [rt.cpan.org #2951] |
667 | * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get |
668 | stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process |
669 | of prepending a .. onto it. |
670 | - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing |
671 | expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it. |
672 | * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute. |
673 | - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep |
674 | repeating the list all over the code. |
675 | - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing |
676 | with DESTDIR set. |
677 | * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892 |
678 | and part of rt.cpan.org #2954] |
679 | * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables. |
680 | installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents |
681 | the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod. |
682 | DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954] |
683 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing |
684 | some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored. |
685 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing |
686 | internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify |
687 | when it didn't. |
688 | |
689 | 6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003 |
690 | * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB |
691 | instead of one for each perl, site and vendor. |
e3aa3ecb |
692 | - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back |
693 | to using multiple -e's. |
694 | * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS |
695 | in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped. |
696 | - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading |
697 | files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry. |
698 | - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya) |
1b0fc073 |
699 | - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous |
700 | newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to |
701 | $(ECHO). |
702 | - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n' |
e3aa3ecb |
703 | |
c2990482 |
704 | 6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003 |
705 | - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in |
706 | ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug. |
707 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows. |
708 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during |
709 | the basic.t test on Windows. |
710 | |
1df8d179 |
711 | 6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003 |
712 | * Documenting META.yml, NO_META |
713 | * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and |
714 | alter your manifest. |
715 | * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ |
716 | - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better. |
717 | - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry) |
718 | * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere |
719 | around 6.06_01. |
720 | - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install() |
721 | - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install |
722 | loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows. |
723 | - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only |
724 | (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723) |
725 | - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the |
726 | dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747) |
727 | |

728 | 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003 |
729 | - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl] |
730 | - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic) |
731 | - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in |
732 | 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong. |
733 | * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end |
734 | of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444] |
735 | * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from. |
736 | - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions. |
737 | - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal) |
738 | - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic) |
739 | - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman) |
740 | - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper) |
741 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper) |
742 | * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has. |
743 | 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again. |
744 | * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they |
745 | sometimes don't get installed. |
746 | - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the |
747 | "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic) |
748 | * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in |
749 | 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark) |
750 | |
751 | 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003 |
752 | * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of |
753 | META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359) |
754 | - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry) |
755 | * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar |
756 | if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators. |
757 | Fixed. |
758 | * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files. |
759 | * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas) |
760 | - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03. |
761 | (Stas Bekman) |
762 | - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems. |
763 | (Craig Berry) |
764 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko) |
765 | - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails |
766 | miserably. |
767 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry) |
768 | |
769 | 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003 |
770 | * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen |
771 | except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't. |
772 | Just on OS/2. |
773 | |
774 | 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003 |
775 | - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently |
776 | - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding |
777 | to skip installing a file. |
778 | - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya) |
779 | - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya) |
780 | - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya) |
781 | - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in |
782 | at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) |
783 | - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core |
784 | removed. No longer relevent. |
785 | - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon) |
786 | * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc. |
787 | - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid |
788 | - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too |
789 | annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed. |
790 | Mentioned it in the FAQ instead. |
791 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared |
792 | properly before. (Craig Berry) |
793 | - Fixing ECHO on dmake. |
794 | - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is() |
795 | - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier |
796 | reading. |
797 | * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively. |
798 | - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t |
799 | - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library. |
800 | * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names |
801 | from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur) |
802 | |
803 | # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been |
804 | # so much change between 6.05 and now. |
805 | |
806 | 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003 |
479d2113 |
807 | - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed... |
808 | - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a |
809 | warning because of this. |
810 | - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC. |
811 | A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from |
812 | the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC. |
813 | Worked around. |
814 | - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef |
815 | - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/ |
816 | |
817 | 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003 |
818 | - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just |
819 | the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS. |
820 | - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix} |
821 | (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared |
822 | in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}. |
823 | - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions |
824 | - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1 |
825 | thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there. |
826 | - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no |
827 | args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler. |
828 | * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility. |
829 | Missing since 5.6.1. |
830 | - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten |
831 | command line lengths. |
832 | - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest |
833 | - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to |
834 | eof() not honor tied handles. |
835 | - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was |
836 | causing warnings when generating the Makefile. |
837 | |
838 | 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003 |
839 | - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info for ppd generation. |
840 | - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file. |
841 | - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker |
842 | to think modules weren't installed. |
843 | - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets |
844 | - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO). |
845 | - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS |
846 | - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy. |
847 | - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before. |
848 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(), |
849 | warn_if_old_packlist(). |
850 | * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS |
851 | as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S |
852 | in the first place. |
853 | * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized! |
854 | Holdover from exclusive .exists usage. |
855 | - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO) |
856 | - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS |
857 | - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others() |
858 | - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass. |
859 | - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line |
860 | lengths causing it to run over on VMS |
861 | - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro |
862 | expansion |
863 | - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS |
864 | - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec. |
865 | - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS |
866 | can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing. |
867 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with |
868 | MakeMaker. |
869 | - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma. |
870 | - Added compile & POD test |
871 | * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file. |
872 | Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build. |
873 | * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST |
874 | * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as |
875 | octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman). |
876 | - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable |
877 | [perl #21526] |
878 | |
879 | 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002 |
880 | * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. |
881 | * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with |
882 | shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult. |
883 | * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to |
884 | object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and |
885 | fixpath() work again. |
886 | |
887 | 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002 |
888 | - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for |
889 | MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl. |
890 | - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be |
891 | canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths. |
892 | MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile(). |
893 | - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags. |
894 | * Added a PATCHING guideline document. |
895 | - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES. |
896 | - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better. |
897 | - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man |
898 | rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from |
899 | MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went |
900 | away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be |
901 | using that. |
902 | - "make manifypods" now works on Win32 |
903 | - "make manifypods" is now be faster |
904 | - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl |
905 | override. MM_VMS->find_perl remains. |
906 | * find_perl() can now handle filenames with spaces in them (RT448) |
907 | * find_perl() on Win32 no longer produces spurious "File Creation error" |
908 | messages (perlbug ID 20020709.001) |
909 | - Removed unfinished and unused maybe_command_in_dirs() |
910 | - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix. |
911 | - Fixed PPD generation when the ppd contains quotes (RT1473) |
912 | - Fixed PPD generation on VMS |
913 | - Moved Win9x specific subdir_x() code from MM_Unix to MM_Win95 |
914 | * Craig Berry fixed hint files on VMS |
915 | - Added the perl_onliner() method to generate portable, safe one-liners |
916 | - Changing hardcoded $self->{MAKEFILE} to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE). |
917 | * Rafael Garcia-Suarez made MakeMaker ignore Subversion control files |
918 | by default. |
919 | - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro. |
920 | * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS. |
921 | - Improved DISTNAME docs |
922 | * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM |
923 | * Documented dist() |
924 | - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile, |
925 | zipdist, zipfile and shdist_target methods. Allows elimination |
926 | of redundant code in MM_VMS. |
927 | - Replaced WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST, DOC_INSTALL and UNINSTALL |
928 | one-liners with ExtUtils::Command::MM functions |
929 | - Replaced VMS hand-rolled perl code for TOUCH, CHMOD, RM_F and RM_RF |
930 | with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F. |
931 | - Adding clean_subdirs target and clean_subdirs_target() method to |
932 | generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part |
933 | of the clean target. |
934 | - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS |
935 | - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused |
936 | - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid |
937 | hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules. |
938 | - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific |
939 | macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there. |
940 | - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros. |
941 | - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier. |
942 | - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default |
943 | target. |
944 | - Added special_targets() to handle things like .PHONY and make sure |
945 | they come first. |
946 | - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros. |
947 | - MM_MacOS constants() disolves |
948 | Moved MACPERL_SRC, MACPERL_LIB, MACPERL_INC from init_main() to |
949 | init_platform(). |
950 | Moved DEFINE and INC tweaking from constants() to init_main() |
951 | Moved DEFINE_VERSION & XS_DEFINE_VERSION from constants() to |
952 | init_VERSION(). |
953 | Eliminated MODULES. Unused and its the same as TO_INST_PM |
954 | Moved .INCLUDE from constants() to special_targets() |
955 | |
956 | - MM_NW5 constants() & init_others() disolves |
957 | Moved LIBPTH, BASE_IMPORT, NLM_VERSION, MPKTOOL, TOOLPATH from |
958 | init_others() to init_platform() |
959 | Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to |
960 | init_platform() |
961 | Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from |
962 | constants() to init_platform() |
963 | |
964 | - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet |
965 | Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods. |
966 | Added MM_REVISION for completeness |
967 | Using wraplist() instead of manual joining |
968 | Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets() |
969 | Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target() |
970 | Moved INST_{STATIC,DYNAMIC,BOOT} to init_INST() |
971 | Moved EXPORT_LIST, PERL_ARCHIVE & PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER to init_linker(). |
972 | Moved PERL_MALLOC_DEF to init_platform() |
973 | |
974 | - MM_VMS constants() goes on a diet |
975 | Moved DEFINE from constants() to init_main() |
976 | Moved OBJECT & LDFROM from constants() to init_others() |
977 | Moved MM_VMS_REVISION and PERL_VMS to init_platform |
978 | Added MM_VMS_VERSION |
979 | Moved DEFINE_VERSION, XS_DEFINE_VERSION and MAKEMAKER changes to |
980 | init_VERSION |
981 | Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override. |
982 | Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}. |
983 | constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls. |
984 | |
985 | - MM_Win32 constants() goes away |
986 | Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override. |
987 | Everything else was redundant. |
988 | |
989 | - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for |
990 | XS builds where the version number is very sensitive. |
991 | - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated |
992 | into init_linker(). |
993 | - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION, |
994 | MM_VMS_VERSION. |
995 | - Eliminated duplicate code in constants() overrides |
996 | - Added all_target() for easier customization of what's run by default |
997 | - Eliminated duplicate top_targets() overrides |
998 | - Made tool_autosplit() method portable. Moved to MM_Any. Eliminated |
999 | overrides. |
1000 | - Adding realclean_subdirs target and realclean_subdirs_target() |
1001 | method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an |
1002 | unportable part of the realclean target. |
1003 | - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners. |
1004 | - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part |
1005 | * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.' |
1006 | * prompt() will now read from STDIN. |
1007 | - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS |
1008 | is explicitly set to empty. |
1009 | * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier. |
1010 | * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables. |
1011 | * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former |
1012 | holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the |
1013 | optional override prefix supplied by the user. |
1014 | * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL. |
1015 | This restores "make install PREFIX=foo". |
1016 | - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting. |
1017 | - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms. |
1018 | - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle} |
1019 | - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed. |
1020 | Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later. |
1021 | - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya. |
1022 | - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker. |
1023 | - realclean was duplicating work already done by clean |
1024 | - Adding an explicit LICENSE |
1025 | - Cleaning up ExtUtils::Install docs. |
1026 | - ExtUtils::Install::uninstall() now has default verbose and |
1027 | dont_execute arguments. |
1028 | - Added some basic ExtUtils::Install tests |
1029 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Install::install() for relative dirs |
1030 | - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long |
1031 | commands. |
1032 | - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may |
1033 | be pointless. |
1034 | - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup. |
1035 | - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants |
1036 | - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle |
1037 | bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking. |
1038 | |
1039 | 6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002 |
1040 | - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in |
1041 | a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen. |
1042 | |
1043 | 6.04 Mon Aug 26 18:31:11 PDT 2002 |
1044 | - Little fix for pre-5.8 Cygwin test to get the shared library names |
1045 | right. |
1046 | * disttest on Win9X broken because of forgotten tabs |
1047 | * WriteMakefile argument verification should now be accurate |
1048 | - Documented the LD flag. |
1049 | * Documented prompt() |
1050 | * vendor install was not adding to packlist or updating perllocal. |
1051 | - Supporting $Config{vendorarchexp} and $Config{vendorlibexp}. |
1052 | - Fixed conflict on VMS between logical names and directories |
1053 | (bleadperl 17488) |
1054 | - Fixed space-vs-tab bug on Netware (bleadperl 17579) |
1055 | - Mysterious NetWare fix from Ananth (bleadperl 17376) |
1056 | - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347) |
1057 | - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347) |
1058 | * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to |
1059 | generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more |
1060 | often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded. |
1061 | - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending |
1062 | diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod |
1063 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ |
1064 | - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669) |
1065 | |
a884ca7c |
1066 | 6.03 Wed Jun 19 17:06:14 EDT 2002 |
1067 | - Documented that we're clamping down on cargo-cult MakeMaker |
1068 | programming. |
1069 | - Eased up the parameter verification to leave errant values alone. |
1070 | - Doug MacEachern documented LDDLFLAGS and added to known parameters. |
1071 | - Possible fix for XS compiles on Cygwin for pre 5.8 perls. |
1072 | |

1086 | post_initialize() now used, DEFINE & INC work with relative paths, |
1087 | removed dead hybrid method/function call code. |
1088 | * WriteMakefile now a bit more tolerant of wrong arguments, it will |
1089 | warn and try to soldier on rather than just vomiting. |
1090 | - Netware whitespace nits (bleadperl@16811) |
1091 | - Netware Perl version number tag when building dynamic libraries |
1092 | needs to match the current perl version instead of being hard coded |
1093 | (a mutation of bleadperl@16851) |
1094 | - OS/2 bug in TEST_F target found by John Poltorak (bleadperl@16839) |
1095 | - README in 6.00 still declared this as alpha. |
1096 | |
1097 | 6.00 Sat May 25 17:14:09 EDT 2002 |
1098 | - VMS 8-level limit test tweak (bleadperl@16764) |
1099 | * Here goes nothing. |
1100 | |
a67d7a01 |
1101 | 5.96_01 Wed May 22 19:11:09 EDT 2002 |
1102 | - Fixed ExtUtils::testlib so it doesn't taint @INC. |
1103 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command so it groks % shell wildcard on VMS. |
1104 | [RT 625] |
1105 | - MM now depends on Test::Harness 2.00 on VMS else tests with -T |
1106 | won't work, command line too long. |
1107 | - Added Craig's patch to fix limited level VMSs in the core. |

1119 | $Config{sitebin}. |
1120 | - Small cross compilation changes (bleadperl 16582, 16548) |
1121 | |
1122 | [[ Test Fixes ]] |
1123 | - Fixing ExtUtils::Command tests for VMS shell wildcard differences. |
1124 | - Fixing ExtUtils::Installed tests so they don't go looking at already |

1347 | instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but |
1348 | it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic. |

1411 | - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary. |
1412 | - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 |
1413 | is now an MM_Win32 subclass. |
1414 | - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were |
1415 | defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec |
1416 | - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 |
1417 | backporting |
1418 | - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* |
1419 | modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)" |
1420 | - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. |
1421 | They did this before, but in a round-about way. |
1422 | - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead |
1423 | @MM::ISA does that itself. |
1424 | - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules. |
1425 | - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have |
1426 | explicitly required MM_Unix. |
1427 | - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now |
1428 | a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted. |
1429 | - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir |
1430 | with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster. |
1431 | - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs. |

1433 | to EU::MM. |
