2 | Bug Fixes |
3 | * Change the "is this really a Perl core library directory" checks to |
4 | look for strict instead of Exporter. Now that Exporter is on CPAN |
5 | it can wind up in site_perl. |
6 | * split_command() will now set aside a little more space for macro |
7 | expansion. This should help on systems with cramped command line |
8 | lengths. Specifically, Pugs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 20145] |
9 | |
10 | Installation |
11 | * MakeMaker would not install if the installed MakeMaker was too old, |
12 | like on 5.6.1. The installation process was still using the |
13 | installed MakeMaker in a few places. This has been fixed. |
14 | [rt.cpan.org 24746] |
15 | |
16 | OS X |
17 | * "make dist" will no longer bundle up resource fork files (._foo). |
18 | [rt.cpan.org 29525] |
19 | |
20 | Docs |
21 | * The documentation of VERSION_FROM was recommending vstrings (1.2.3) |
22 | which have never worked right. |
23 | * The documentation for the accepted values of LICENSE moved to |
24 | Module::Build::API. [rt.cpan.org 32020] |
25 | |
26 | Tests |
27 | * The compilation test was testing the installed modules, not the |
28 | about-to-be-installed. |
29 | * xs.t would fail if ExtUtils::CBuilder was not installed. |
30 | |
31 | Misc |
32 | * Cleanups brought to you by no more 5.5 compatibility! |
33 | * MakeMaker is now perlcritic clean at severity level 5... except |
34 | the really silly ones. |
35 | * DIE use vars DIE! |
36 | * Added some resources to the META.yml |

39 | Bug Fixes |
40 | - 6.33 moved PREREQ_FATAL to happen after CONFIGURE. This meant if |
41 | your CONFIGURE use a prereq it would fail and no PREREQ_FATAL |
42 | message would be displayed. |
43 | - Put the "nicetext" functionality back, VMS needs it to deal with |
44 | other people's custom make. But rename it to the more |
45 | accurate maketext_filter(), test it and fix a bug where it would |
46 | stop processing if it saw a macro declaration. |

48 | 6.40 Thu Dec 6 03:00:47 PST 2007 |
49 | Bug Fixes |
50 | - Remove the dubious nicetext() Makefile formatting hack to account for |
51 | a lack of space between the target and colon needed on VMS. This |
52 | interfered with META.yml creation on VMS and possibly other output. |
53 | - Fix the remaining targets which don't have a space between the target |
54 | and the colon. |

59 | 6.37_03 Mon Nov 26 14:15:34 PST 2007 |
60 | Tests |
61 | - parse_version.t had wrong test count when version.pm isn't installed. |
62 | - Fixed some warnings in the XS module we're using for testing. |
63 | - "our $VERSION" test in parse_version.t was never running |
64 | - Quoting uses of 1.2.3 style versions in parse_version.t to protect |
65 | older perls. |
66 | |
67 | Portability |
68 | - Moved the minimum required version up to 5.6.0. |

70 | 6.37_02 Sun Nov 25 23:33:14 PST 2007 |
71 | Test Improvements |
72 | - Added a test for a basic XS build. |
73 | |
74 | Bug Fixes |
75 | - A refactoring in 6.37_01 broke XS compilation. |
76 | |
77 | 6.37_01 Sun Nov 25 17:05:53 PST 2007 |
78 | Improvements |
79 | - Upgraded the META.yml to version 1.3 of the spec (which really |
80 | doesn't change anything). Thanks bdfoy. |
81 | - MakeMaker now always includes the required 'author' field in |
82 | the META.yml even if it's undef to comply with the META.yml spec. |
83 | - Updated ExtUtils-Install to latest version (1.44) |
84 | - Unified the version numbers of all modules. |
85 | |
86 | Test Fixes |
87 | - cd() test on VMS used non-native paths. [bleadperl 31534] |
88 | - Removed uses of "no_plan" in tests to remain compatible with |
89 | old versions of Test::Harness. |
90 | - writemakefile_args.t had the wrong test count if version.pm isn't |
91 | installed. |
92 | |
93 | Bug Fixes |
94 | - $VERSION detection code would be confused by "sub version" |
95 | [rt.cpan.org 30747] |
96 | - LINKTYPE=static will now be propagated to child builds. |
97 | [bleadperl 31761] |
98 | |
99 | Portability Fixes |
100 | - Add "dragonfly" to the list of BSDish operating systems |
101 | - BSD detection code would not pick up bsdos or internix |
102 | - Fix detection of shared libperl on NetBSD [bleadperl 31526] |
103 | |
104 | |
105 | 6.36 Tue Jul 3 01:06:40 PDT 2007 |
106 | Test Fixes |
107 | - version.pm prior to 0.7203 caused Foo->VERSION to reformat |
108 | $Foo::VERSION. This caused prereq.t to fail. |
109 | |
110 | 6.35 Sun Jul 1 20:53:38 PDT 2007 |
111 | New Features |
112 | * MakeMaker will now try to "use version" before parsing $VERSION. |
113 | This allows "$VERSION = qv(1.2.3)" to work. |
114 | |
115 | Test Fixes |
116 | - writemakefile_args.t now works with older versions of version.pm |
117 | |
118 | 6.34 Sat Jun 30 11:06:54 CDT 2007 |
119 | Test Fixes |
120 | - Accidentally hard coded the version of strict.pm [rt.cpan.org 27838] |
121 | |
122 | 6.33 Fri Jun 29 17:15:34 CDT 2007 |
123 | New Features |
124 | * VERSION now accepts version objects without warning. |
125 | [rt.cpan.org 26075] |
126 | |
127 | Bug Fixes |
128 | - Properly not installing MANIFEST.SKIP when ExtUtils::Manifest is not |
129 | being installed. [rt.cpan.org 21318] |
130 | - fixin() no longer clobbers $/ [rt.cpan.org 26234] |
131 | - Fixed bug finding cross-compiled perls [bleadperl 31404] |
132 | - Looking up to 8 levels up to find uninstalled perls |
133 | [bleadperl 30932] |
134 | * A test failure in a sub-project would not cause "make test" to |
135 | fail. [rt.cpan.org 27804] |
136 | |
137 | Windows |
138 | - Embed manifest files in EXEs and DLLs when building with VC++ 8.x |
139 | [bleadperl #29266] [rt.cpan.org 26208] |
140 | - Improved the subdir command code so DIR can do more than one level |
141 | down. [rt.cpan.org 25180] |
142 | - Fix static builds on Win32 by using -DPERLDLL [bleadperl 31229] |
143 | |
144 | VMS |
145 | - Use linker flags rather than compiler flags to determine if the |
146 | perl sharable image was linked debug. This keeps OPTIMIZE from |
147 | confusing things. [rt.cpan.org 25268] |
148 | - Accidental use of $\ in a regex. [bleadperl 30521] |
149 | |
150 | BSD |
151 | - If calling perl causes MakeMaker to emit warnings, then it |
152 | cannot find the location of its binary. [rt.cpan.org 23178] |
153 | |
154 | Doc Improvements |
155 | - Typo fixes. $(TOUNIX) -> $(TO_UNIX). [rt.cpan.org 23495] |
156 | - The example for setting $VERSION from $Revision$ in SVN was |
157 | incorrect. (Thanks to ROBERTMAY@cpan.org) [rt.cpan.org 26995] |
158 | - Document what's wrong with PREFIX and what to use instead. |
159 | [rt.cpan.org 12919] |
160 | - Improve the PREREQ_FATAL docs to make it really clear that you |
161 | do NOT want to use this! |
162 | |
163 | Misc |
164 | - Provide information during the install about whether we're using the |
165 | installed or provided dependency (ie. ExtUtils::Command). |
166 | - Updated included versions of ExtUtils::Manifest and Command. |
167 | - Add .bak and .old to veryclean [rt.cpan.org 21284] |
168 | - Improved the PREREQ_FATAL message. |
169 | |
170 | 6.32 Wed Feb 21 07:59:57 PST 2007 |
171 | New Features |
172 | - WriteEmptyMakefile() is now exportable upon request. |
173 | |
174 | Bug Fixes |
175 | - Set binmode() when writing to files in Command.t for operating |
176 | systems which need that sort of thing. [bleadperl #29578] |
177 | - Fixed a minor duplication in manifypod_target(). [rt.cpan.org 22149] |
178 | |
179 | Test Fixes |
180 | - The build_man.t test would fail if your Perl is configured to not |
181 | generate man pages ($Config{installman3dir} is set to none). |
182 | |
183 | Doc Improvements |
184 | - Made the home dir install examples a little more friendly to non-Unix |
185 | folks. |
186 | |
187 | Misc |
188 | - miniperl no longer has the Win32 functions. |
189 | - Turn on "use strict" where it was missing. |
190 | |
562c8117 |
191 | 6.31 Mon Oct 9 16:54:47 PDT 2006 |
192 | - Update our META.yml to version 1.2 of the spec. |
193 | * Update the SEE ALSO to mention Module::Build, Module::Install, |
194 | ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter. |
195 | - Fix ARCHITECTURE tag in PPD generation for 5.8 (patch taken from |
196 | ActiveState 819). [rt.cpan.org 20566] |
197 | * Bring ExtUtils::Manifest up to 1.48 |
198 | |
58d32538 |
199 | 6.30_04 Mon Sep 11 16:14:06 EDT 2006 |
200 | - EXTRA_META has been undocumented as I don't like the way the |
201 | interface works but I don't want to hold up 6.31. It will be |
202 | replaced with something better next version. |
203 | - Added explaination of distclean behavior and instructions on how to |
204 | blow away anything not in the MANIFEST to the FAQ. |
205 | * 6.30_01 broke overrides of PM. MakeMaker would add to a user |
206 | suplied PM rather than simply accepting it. |
207 | * Document INSTALL_BASE. |
208 | * Added "How do I install a module into my home directory?" to the FAQ |
209 | * Added "How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the |
210 | same place?" |
211 | - Moving ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap back into |
212 | lib/ because no independent distribution has taken them over. |
213 | |
214 | 6.30_03 Fri Sep 1 17:03:11 EDT 2006 |
215 | - Minor fix to Command.t for Win32. |
216 | |
217 | 6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006 |
218 | - Updated to ExtUtils::Install 1.41 |
219 | * Won't scan for and build man pages when MAN3PODS is deliberately set |
220 | empty. |
221 | - Minor VMS fixes. [bleadperl@26813] |
222 | - VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [bleadperl@27613] |
223 | * Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and |
224 | INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536] |
225 | - Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [bleadperl@26457] |
226 | - $Revision was broken. |
227 | - Updated our internal version of Test::More to catch a few warnings. |
228 | - ExtUtils::Command::test_f() test was broken. |
229 | - Clarified that test_f() exits. |
230 | |
2977d345 |
231 | 6.30_01 Tue Aug 16 23:53:27 PDT 2005 |
232 | * Fixed compiling modules using an uninstalled Perl on Win32 by using |
233 | the proper perl header location for Windows (which is different from |
234 | Unix). Looks like a very old bug. [bugs.perl.org 36128] |
235 | - $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision accidentally left in a stray "Revision". |
236 | [thanks pdx.pm for noticing this] |
237 | - Fixed the $VERSION = $Revision$ example in the MakeMaker docs and the |
238 | FAQ. [thanks again, pdx.pm] |
239 | - Elaborated on the differences between CVS, SVN and others when using |
240 | $Revision$ based $VERSIONs. |
241 | * ExtUtils::Command, ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Manifest, |
242 | ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap, ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Packlist |
243 | are all now considered to be separate distributions. To avoid a |
244 | circular dependency, MakeMaker distributes its own versions but CPAN |
245 | should not index them and they will not overwrite a newer, installed |
246 | version. |
247 | * Added EXTRA_META option to allow module authors to append extra |
248 | text to the generated META.yml. |
249 | * Added a LICENSE field mirroring Module::Build's license. |
250 | * META.yml support updated to version 1.1. All required fields |
251 | now generated. (NOTE: 1.1 isn't yet complete but we're going with |
252 | it anyway. MakeMaker uses "author" instead of "authored_by" as its |
253 | expected the former will be used in 1.1 final). |
254 | * Non-conforming version_from and installdirs META.yml fields removed. |
255 | * META.yml distribution_type field now intelligent enough to guess at |
256 | the type rather than hard code 'module'. |
257 | * INSTALLBASE changed to INSTALL_BASE to match Module::Build. |
258 | * Added a MAKE parameter for Windows users to say if they're using |
259 | dmake or nmake. |
260 | |
4325052d |
261 | 6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005 |
262 | * PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its |
263 | supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after. |
264 | - Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older |
265 | Test::Harness. |
266 | |
41e5fcb0 |
267 | 6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005 |
268 | * The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several |
269 | CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have |
270 | INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built |
271 | modules. |
272 | - Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable. |
273 | - Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored. |
274 | |
76ca89ed |
275 | 6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005 |
276 | - Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core |
277 | - Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths |
278 | be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core) |
279 | - Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside |
280 | it and any which happen to be in subdirs. |
281 | - MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker. |
282 | (bleadperl@24185) |
283 | - Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning) |
284 | |
7292dc67 |
285 | 6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005 |
286 | * Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative |
287 | directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP. |
288 | |
289 | 6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005 |
290 | * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being |
291 | passed the file they were to generate. |
292 | * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is |
293 | now documented. |
294 | * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented. |
295 | |
296 | 6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005 |
297 | |
298 | 6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005 |
299 | - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest |
300 | version is found. |
301 | - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10. |
302 | |
303 | 6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005 |
304 | - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any. |
305 | - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part |
306 | of RT 6460 in 6.25_02. |
307 | |
308 | 6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005 |
309 | - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I |
310 | couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility. |
311 | This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various |
312 | previous alpha releases. |
313 | |
314 | 6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005 |
315 | - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent |
316 | and better. |
317 | - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are |
318 | now possible. |
319 | |
320 | 6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005 |
321 | - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it. |
322 | - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN |
323 | made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left |
324 | XSUBPP alone. |
325 | - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can |
326 | make commands too long on VMS. |
327 | - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using |
328 | .exists files everywhere. |
329 | - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS. |
330 | - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds. |
331 | - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. |
332 | - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892) |
333 | - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with |
334 | Module::Install |
335 | |
336 | 6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004 |
337 | - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice. |
338 | - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring |
339 | it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy. |
340 | - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to |
341 | a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas. |
342 | |
343 | 6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004 |
344 | - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro. |
345 | - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as |
346 | targets as their mod time changes too frequently. |
347 | * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented |
348 | it yet. I'll do that next release. |
349 | |
350 | 6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004 |
351 | - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command". |
352 | Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro. |
353 | - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed. |
354 | - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for |
355 | Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP. |
356 | |
357 | 6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004 |
358 | - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules. |
359 | |
360 | 6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004 |
361 | - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own |
362 | target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This |
363 | ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes |
364 | things like SVN's perl bindings. |
365 | |
366 | 6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004 |
367 | - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier |
368 | macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations |
369 | like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32. |
370 | [rt.cpan.org 4545] |
371 | - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting |
372 | directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851] |
373 | - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before |
374 | we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460] |
375 | - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and |
376 | several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18. |
377 | |
378 | 6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004 |
379 | * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP. |
380 | * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will |
381 | only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers, |
382 | they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time. |
383 | * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build |
384 | directory. It will only be generated in the distdir. |
385 | - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed. |
386 | - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files. |
387 | This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to |
388 | Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix. |
389 | |
5dca256e |
390 | 6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004 |
391 | - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now |
392 | ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809] |
393 | - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP |
394 | |
395 | 6.24_01 Thu Dec 9 00:44:48 EST 2004 |
396 | - Docs encouraged possibly insecure use of /tmp [CAN-2004-0976 via Debian] |
397 | - Remove empty rpath from .so files [bleadperl@23183] |
398 | - At long last the core man page title has its apostrophe. |
399 | - BeOS tests fixed [Ingo Weinhold] [perlbug #32717] |
400 | - Putting a pm_to_blib target back (alias of pm_to_blib.ts) in case |
401 | anyone was depending on it being there (mod_perl was). |
402 | |
403 | 6.24 Tue Nov 30 15:35:13 EST 2004 |
404 | - dir_target() was accidentally named dir_targets() causing problems |
405 | installing some Tk modules. |
406 | |
407 | 6.23 Fri Nov 26 16:01:50 EST 2004 |
408 | - MM_MacOS lost its $VERSION causing some CPAN indexing problems. Enough |
409 | people noticed this to warrant a quick release. |
410 | |
411 | 6.22 Tue Nov 23 22:22:22 EST 2004 |
412 | - Minor glitch in Command.t test on Win32 [thanks Steve Hay] |
413 | * Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP so it avoids all the new *.ts files. |
414 | - Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments |
415 | |
416 | 6.21_03 Sat Apr 3 2004 |
417 | - pm_to_blib and blibdirs stamp files now pm_to_blib.ts and blibdirs.ts |
418 | everywhere because some filesystems insist you have a dot in the |
419 | filename. This eliminates a bunch of special case code. |
03c94fc2 |
420 | - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic. |
421 | - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential |
422 | errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway. |
423 | - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP. |
5dca256e |
424 | * Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run. |
425 | * Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building |
03c94fc2 |
426 | large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson] |
5dca256e |
427 | * test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}. |
03c94fc2 |
428 | [Greg Matheson] |
429 | - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available. |
430 | [Slaven Rezic] |
431 | - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives. |
432 | [Slaven Rezic] |
433 | - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?" |
434 | and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie] |
5dca256e |
435 | - Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume |
436 | [Ilya Zakharevich] |
437 | - When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed |
438 | xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig] |
439 | - makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries |
440 | not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032] |
441 | * MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use |
442 | Module::Build instead. |
443 | * Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on |
444 | VMS. [rt 4675] |
445 | - For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any |
446 | existing uses. |
447 | - Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN). |
448 | This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616] |
449 | - realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories |
450 | wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208] |
451 | - fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955] |
452 | - ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS |
453 | [rt 4687] |
454 | - hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O |
455 | contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test |
456 | mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365] |
457 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on |
458 | VMS. [rt 4676] |
459 | - parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs. |
460 | [rt 5633] |

462 | 6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003 |
03c94fc2 |
463 | - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of |
af7522e5 |
464 | PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed |
465 | (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger] |
466 | - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version |
467 | for backwards compatibility. |
468 | - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of |
469 | modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written. |
470 | |
dd0810f9 |
471 | 6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003 |
472 | - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we |
473 | take a more conservative approach. |
474 | - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows. |
475 | - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290] |
476 | - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase] |
477 | - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing |
478 | nmake [rt 4285 4301] |
479 | |
a7d1454b |
480 | 6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003 |
481 | - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and |
482 | teardown the dummy modules as needed. |
483 | - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set |
484 | - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR) |
485 | instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL |
486 | INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected. |
487 | |
488 | 6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003 |
489 | - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich) |
490 | - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase) |
491 | * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now |
492 | fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for |
493 | $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older |
494 | Perls. |
495 | * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds. |
496 | * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead. |
497 | - Removed now unused dir_target() method. |
498 | - Added a little documentation to instmodsh. |
499 | * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use |
500 | it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of |
501 | PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS. |
502 | * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang) |
503 | - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake |
504 | made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2 |
505 | - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix() |
506 | * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used. |
507 | * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and |
508 | open.pm (Autrijus Tang) |
509 | - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded. |
510 | * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing. |
511 | * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a |
512 | warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml |
513 | - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims) |
514 | * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed |
515 | (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea) |
516 | * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last |
517 | November and nobody noticed. |
518 | - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set |
519 | by the user. |
520 | - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories |
521 | * Documented UNINST=1 |
522 | |
30361541 |
523 | 6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003 |
524 | - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves) |
525 | * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so |
526 | it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found. |
527 | * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB |
528 | (Orton Yves) |
529 | - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others) |
530 | where a read-only file cannot be deleted. |
531 | - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates |
532 | ndbgperl.exe. |
533 | - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument. |
534 | |
2c91f887 |
535 | 6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003 |
536 | * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old |
537 | versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS). |
538 | - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed. |
539 | [Sreeji K Das] |
540 | * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP |
541 | - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel |
542 | bleadperl@20530) |
543 | - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to |
544 | causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180) |
545 | |
64964e6d |
546 | 6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003 |
547 | - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already |
548 | installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon) |
549 | |
550 | 6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003 |
551 | - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml |
552 | itself and the metafile documentation. |
553 | - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the |
554 | way of users adding code to the manifypods target. |
555 | - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using |
556 | it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man |
557 | installation targets in a backwards compatible way. |
558 | * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs. |
559 | |
0fdc96ff |
560 | 6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003 |
561 | - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester) |
562 | - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This |
563 | was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345. |
564 | - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up. |
565 | |
1b0fc073 |
566 | 6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003 |
567 | - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and |
568 | prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than |
569 | "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283) |
570 | - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean" |
571 | (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this |
572 | was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't |
573 | blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied |
574 | to INST_*. |
575 | - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking |
576 | for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a |
577 | really bizarre way. |
578 | |
579 | 6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003 |
580 | - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke |
581 | - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run |
582 | twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again. |
583 | * Noting where to find make in the README |
584 | * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile |
585 | on Windows. |
1b0fc073 |
586 | |
587 | 6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003 |
588 | * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default |
589 | always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949] |
590 | * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which |
591 | tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL |
592 | (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's). |
593 | This appears to be a rather old bug. |
594 | [rt.cpan.org #2951] |
595 | * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get |
596 | stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process |
597 | of prepending a .. onto it. |
598 | - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing |
599 | expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it. |
600 | * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute. |
601 | - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep |
602 | repeating the list all over the code. |
603 | - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing |
604 | with DESTDIR set. |
605 | * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892 |
606 | and part of rt.cpan.org #2954] |
607 | * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables. |
608 | installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents |
609 | the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod. |
610 | DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954] |
611 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing |
612 | some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored. |
613 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing |
614 | internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify |
615 | when it didn't. |
616 | |
617 | 6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003 |
618 | * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB |
619 | instead of one for each perl, site and vendor. |
e3aa3ecb |
620 | - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back |
621 | to using multiple -e's. |
622 | * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS |
623 | in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped. |
624 | - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading |
625 | files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry. |
626 | - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya) |
1b0fc073 |
627 | - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous |
628 | newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to |
629 | $(ECHO). |
630 | - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n' |
e3aa3ecb |
631 | |
c2990482 |
632 | 6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003 |
633 | - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in |
634 | ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug. |
635 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows. |
636 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during |
637 | the basic.t test on Windows. |
638 | |
1df8d179 |
639 | 6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003 |
640 | * Documenting META.yml, NO_META |
641 | * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and |
642 | alter your manifest. |
643 | * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ |
644 | - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better. |
645 | - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry) |
646 | * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere |
647 | around 6.06_01. |
648 | - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install() |
649 | - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install |
650 | loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows. |
651 | - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only |
652 | (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723) |
653 | - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the |
654 | dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747) |
655 | |
2530b651 |
656 | 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003 |
657 | - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl] |
658 | - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic) |
659 | - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in |
660 | 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong. |
661 | * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end |
662 | of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444] |
663 | * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from. |
664 | - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions. |
665 | - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal) |
666 | - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic) |
667 | - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman) |
668 | - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper) |
669 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper) |
670 | * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has. |
671 | 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again. |
672 | * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they |
673 | sometimes don't get installed. |
674 | - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the |
675 | "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic) |
676 | * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in |
677 | 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark) |
678 | |
679 | 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003 |
680 | * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of |
681 | META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359) |
682 | - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry) |
683 | * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar |
684 | if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators. |
685 | Fixed. |
686 | * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files. |
687 | * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas) |
688 | - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03. |
689 | (Stas Bekman) |
690 | - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems. |
691 | (Craig Berry) |
692 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko) |
693 | - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails |
694 | miserably. |
695 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry) |
696 | |
697 | 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003 |
698 | * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen |
699 | except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't. |
700 | Just on OS/2. |
701 | |
702 | 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003 |
703 | - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently |
704 | - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding |
705 | to skip installing a file. |
706 | - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya) |
707 | - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya) |
708 | - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya) |
709 | - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in |
710 | at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) |
711 | - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core |
712 | removed. No longer relevent. |
713 | - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon) |
714 | * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc. |
715 | - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid |
716 | - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too |
717 | annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed. |
718 | Mentioned it in the FAQ instead. |
719 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared |
720 | properly before. (Craig Berry) |
721 | - Fixing ECHO on dmake. |
722 | - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is() |
723 | - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier |
724 | reading. |
725 | * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively. |
726 | - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t |
727 | - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library. |
728 | * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names |
729 | from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur) |
730 | |
731 | # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been |
732 | # so much change between 6.05 and now. |
733 | |
734 | 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003 |
479d2113 |
735 | - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed... |
736 | - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a |
737 | warning because of this. |
738 | - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC. |
739 | A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from |
740 | the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC. |
741 | Worked around. |
742 | - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef |
743 | - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/ |
744 | |
745 | 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003 |
746 | - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just |
747 | the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS. |
748 | - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix} |
749 | (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared |
750 | in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}. |
751 | - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions |
752 | - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1 |
753 | thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there. |
754 | - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no |
755 | args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler. |
756 | * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility. |
757 | Missing since 5.6.1. |
758 | - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten |
759 | command line lengths. |
760 | - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest |
761 | - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to |
762 | eof() not honor tied handles. |
763 | - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was |
764 | causing warnings when generating the Makefile. |
765 | |
766 | 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003 |
767 | - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info for ppd generation. |
768 | - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file. |
769 | - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker |
770 | to think modules weren't installed. |
771 | - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets |
772 | - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO). |
773 | - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS |
774 | - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy. |
775 | - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before. |
776 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(), |
777 | warn_if_old_packlist(). |
778 | * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS |
779 | as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S |
780 | in the first place. |
781 | * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized! |
782 | Holdover from exclusive .exists usage. |
783 | - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO) |
784 | - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS |
785 | - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others() |
786 | - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass. |
787 | - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line |
788 | lengths causing it to run over on VMS |
789 | - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro |
790 | expansion |
791 | - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS |
792 | - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec. |
793 | - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS |
794 | can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing. |
795 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with |
796 | MakeMaker. |
797 | - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma. |
798 | - Added compile & POD test |
799 | * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file. |
800 | Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build. |
801 | * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST |
802 | * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as |
803 | octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman). |
804 | - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable |
805 | [perl #21526] |
806 | |
807 | 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002 |
808 | * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. |
809 | * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with |
810 | shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult. |
811 | * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to |
812 | object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and |
813 | fixpath() work again. |
814 | |
815 | 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002 |
816 | - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for |
817 | MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl. |
818 | - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be |
819 | canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths. |
820 | MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile(). |
821 | - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags. |
822 | * Added a PATCHING guideline document. |
823 | - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES. |
824 | - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better. |
825 | - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man |
826 | rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from |
827 | MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went |
828 | away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be |
829 | using that. |
830 | - "make manifypods" now works on Win32 |
831 | - "make manifypods" is now be faster |
832 | - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl |
833 | override. MM_VMS->find_perl remains. |
834 | * find_perl() can now handle filenames with spaces in them (RT448) |
835 | * find_perl() on Win32 no longer produces spurious "File Creation error" |
836 | messages (perlbug ID 20020709.001) |
837 | - Removed unfinished and unused maybe_command_in_dirs() |
838 | - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix. |
839 | - Fixed PPD generation when the ppd contains quotes (RT1473) |
840 | - Fixed PPD generation on VMS |
841 | - Moved Win9x specific subdir_x() code from MM_Unix to MM_Win95 |
842 | * Craig Berry fixed hint files on VMS |
843 | - Added the perl_onliner() method to generate portable, safe one-liners |
844 | - Changing hardcoded $self->{MAKEFILE} to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE). |
845 | * Rafael Garcia-Suarez made MakeMaker ignore Subversion control files |
846 | by default. |
847 | - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro. |
848 | * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS. |
849 | - Improved DISTNAME docs |
850 | * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM |
851 | * Documented dist() |
852 | - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile, |
853 | zipdist, zipfile and shdist_target methods. Allows elimination |
854 | of redundant code in MM_VMS. |
855 | - Replaced WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST, DOC_INSTALL and UNINSTALL |
856 | one-liners with ExtUtils::Command::MM functions |
857 | - Replaced VMS hand-rolled perl code for TOUCH, CHMOD, RM_F and RM_RF |
858 | with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F. |
859 | - Adding clean_subdirs target and clean_subdirs_target() method to |
860 | generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part |
861 | of the clean target. |
862 | - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS |
863 | - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused |
864 | - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid |
865 | hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules. |
866 | - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific |
867 | macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there. |
868 | - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros. |
869 | - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier. |
870 | - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default |
871 | target. |
872 | - Added special_targets() to handle things like .PHONY and make sure |
873 | they come first. |
874 | - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros. |
875 | - MM_MacOS constants() disolves |
876 | Moved MACPERL_SRC, MACPERL_LIB, MACPERL_INC from init_main() to |
877 | init_platform(). |
878 | Moved DEFINE and INC tweaking from constants() to init_main() |
879 | Moved DEFINE_VERSION & XS_DEFINE_VERSION from constants() to |
880 | init_VERSION(). |
881 | Eliminated MODULES. Unused and its the same as TO_INST_PM |
882 | Moved .INCLUDE from constants() to special_targets() |
883 | |
884 | - MM_NW5 constants() & init_others() disolves |
885 | Moved LIBPTH, BASE_IMPORT, NLM_VERSION, MPKTOOL, TOOLPATH from |
886 | init_others() to init_platform() |
887 | Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to |
888 | init_platform() |
889 | Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from |
890 | constants() to init_platform() |
891 | |
892 | - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet |
893 | Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods. |
894 | Added MM_REVISION for completeness |
895 | Using wraplist() instead of manual joining |
896 | Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets() |
897 | Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target() |
898 | Moved INST_{STATIC,DYNAMIC,BOOT} to init_INST() |
899 | Moved EXPORT_LIST, PERL_ARCHIVE & PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER to init_linker(). |
900 | Moved PERL_MALLOC_DEF to init_platform() |
901 | |
902 | - MM_VMS constants() goes on a diet |
903 | Moved DEFINE from constants() to init_main() |
904 | Moved OBJECT & LDFROM from constants() to init_others() |
905 | Moved MM_VMS_REVISION and PERL_VMS to init_platform |
906 | Added MM_VMS_VERSION |
907 | Moved DEFINE_VERSION, XS_DEFINE_VERSION and MAKEMAKER changes to |
908 | init_VERSION |
909 | Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override. |
910 | Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}. |
911 | constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls. |
912 | |
913 | - MM_Win32 constants() goes away |
914 | Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override. |
915 | Everything else was redundant. |
916 | |
917 | - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for |
918 | XS builds where the version number is very sensitive. |
919 | - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated |
920 | into init_linker(). |
921 | - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION, |
922 | MM_VMS_VERSION. |
923 | - Eliminated duplicate code in constants() overrides |
924 | - Added all_target() for easier customization of what's run by default |
925 | - Eliminated duplicate top_targets() overrides |
926 | - Made tool_autosplit() method portable. Moved to MM_Any. Eliminated |
927 | overrides. |
928 | - Adding realclean_subdirs target and realclean_subdirs_target() |
929 | method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an |
930 | unportable part of the realclean target. |
931 | - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners. |
932 | - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part |
933 | * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.' |
934 | * prompt() will now read from STDIN. |
935 | - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS |
936 | is explicitly set to empty. |
937 | * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier. |
938 | * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables. |
939 | * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former |
940 | holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the |
941 | optional override prefix supplied by the user. |
942 | * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL. |
943 | This restores "make install PREFIX=foo". |
944 | - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting. |
945 | - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms. |
946 | - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle} |
947 | - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed. |
948 | Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later. |
949 | - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya. |
950 | - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker. |
951 | - realclean was duplicating work already done by clean |
952 | - Adding an explicit LICENSE |
953 | - Cleaning up ExtUtils::Install docs. |
954 | - ExtUtils::Install::uninstall() now has default verbose and |
955 | dont_execute arguments. |
956 | - Added some basic ExtUtils::Install tests |
957 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Install::install() for relative dirs |
958 | - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long |
959 | commands. |
960 | - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may |
961 | be pointless. |
962 | - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup. |
963 | - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants |
964 | - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle |
965 | bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking. |
966 | |
967 | 6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002 |
968 | - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in |
969 | a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen. |
970 | |
971 | 6.04 Mon Aug 26 18:31:11 PDT 2002 |
972 | - Little fix for pre-5.8 Cygwin test to get the shared library names |
973 | right. |
974 | * disttest on Win9X broken because of forgotten tabs |
975 | * WriteMakefile argument verification should now be accurate |
976 | - Documented the LD flag. |
977 | * Documented prompt() |
978 | * vendor install was not adding to packlist or updating perllocal. |
979 | - Supporting $Config{vendorarchexp} and $Config{vendorlibexp}. |
980 | - Fixed conflict on VMS between logical names and directories |
981 | (bleadperl 17488) |
982 | - Fixed space-vs-tab bug on Netware (bleadperl 17579) |
983 | - Mysterious NetWare fix from Ananth (bleadperl 17376) |
984 | - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347) |
985 | - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347) |
986 | * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to |
987 | generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more |
988 | often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded. |
989 | - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending |
990 | diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod |
991 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ |
992 | - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669) |
993 | |

994 | 6.03 Wed Jun 19 17:06:14 EDT 2002 |
995 | - Documented that we're clamping down on cargo-cult MakeMaker |
996 | programming. |
997 | - Eased up the parameter verification to leave errant values alone. |
998 | - Doug MacEachern documented LDDLFLAGS and added to known parameters. |
999 | - Possible fix for XS compiles on Cygwin for pre 5.8 perls. |

1018 | - Netware whitespace nits (bleadperl@16811) |
1019 | - Netware Perl version number tag when building dynamic libraries |

1145 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1146 | - Craig Berry fixed install on VMS (again, I munged the last patch) |
1147 | - MakeMaker might not be recognizing it's in PERL_SRC on Win32. |
1148 | Made safer. |
1149 | - For some reason MM_VMS was using $Config{arch} instead of |
1150 | $Config{archname} |
1151 | - Fix (well, hack) for creating ABSPERL on VMS. |
5c161494 |
1152 | - Quieting some warnings revealed by ExtUtils::Constant |
1153 | - test_via_script had a typo and forgot INST_ARCHLIB |

1155 | [[ Test Fixes ]] |
1156 | - INST.t has to tell MakeMaker it's in the PERL_CORE |

1159 | 5.55_01 Thu Apr 4 23:58:06 EST 2002 |
1160 | [[ API Changes ]] |
1161 | * Long deprecated INST_EXE completely removed. |
1162 | - Removing TEST_LIBS constant (never seen in a stable MM anyway) |
1163 | - Added $default argument to prefixify() for safer prefixification. |
1164 | |
1165 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1166 | - $mm->{PERM_*} were not being set |
1167 | - fixin() redundantly chmod'ing scripts. Let the Makefile do that. |
1168 | - The above means MM_Unix will now compile cleanly under strict |
1169 | * init_dirscan's search for Makefile.PL's will no longer look |
1170 | inside a distdir. |
1171 | * Fixed running tests when there are t/'s in subdirs. |
1172 | - MM_DOS inheriting from MM_Unix instead of MM_Win32. DJGPP |
1173 | appears to be unix-like (bleadperl@15650) |
1174 | - Escaping constants with # in them so they're not confused as |
1175 | make comments (bleadperl) |
1176 | * ExtUtils::MM_Win95 didn't return a true value |
1177 | - Fixing disttest when perl is a relative path. |
1178 | * Fixed disttest & tests in subdirs on Win95 |
1179 | - Fixed recursive Makefile.PL scan on VMS so it skips the distdir |
1180 | - Fixed a bug when an alternative MAKEFILE is specified and you're |
1181 | using something other than a Makefile.PL (RT 444) |
1182 | - Quieting uninit warning when there are no tests. |
1183 | |
1184 | [[ Doc Fixes ]] |
1185 | - Documented INSTALLMAN*DIR == 'none' feature. |
1186 | |
1187 | [[ Test Fixes ]] |
1188 | - Paul Green's which_perl patch to build a proper Perl on systems |
1189 | that use command extensions. |
1190 | - basic.t's Makefile.PL PREFIX call wasn't properly quoted for VMS |
1191 | (Craig Berry) |
1192 | - little initialization glitch in MM_Win32.t |
1193 | |
1194 | [[ Internals ]] |
1195 | - INST_* constants moved to init_INST |
1196 | - INSTALL* constants moved to inst_INSTALL |
1197 | * Internal warning supression removed. |
1198 | - Temporarily turning off SelfLoader in MM_Unix so warnings |
1199 | have the right line numbers. |

1204 | |
1205 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1206 | - hint files were made a little too noisy in 5.53_01 |

1218 | 5.53_01 Fri Mar 29 00:13:02 EST 2002 |
1219 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1220 | - Removed duplicate NAME macro definition |
1221 | - Fixed makemakerdflt target for VMS |
1222 | * bleadperl@11460 introduced a bug with recursive Makefile.PL's not |
1223 | having '.' in @INC. PDL should build now. |
1224 | * MANIFEST.SKIP only working on file names, not full relative paths. |
1225 | Only since 5.51_01 (RT 413) |
1226 | * make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 was busted by 5.50_01 (RT 423) |
1227 | * Error messages from dying Makefile.PL's and hint files were |
1228 | accidentally supressed in 5.48_04. Fixed. |
1229 | * Makefile.PL's are supposed to be run in package main. 5.48_04 |
1230 | broke this. Fixed. |
1231 | * Fixing installing on VMS. |

1233 | 5.52_01 Tue Mar 26 00:24:26 EST 2002 |
1234 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1235 | * ActivePerl 5.6.1/build 631 now 100% |
1236 | - Fixed some SelfLoader warnings |
1237 | * ExtUtils::MM_Win32 not subclassed off of ExtUtils::MM_Any properly |
1238 | - Bug in local $ENV{FOO} was causing failures in MM_Win32 tests. |
1239 | Compensating for the bug. |
1240 | - $Config{prefixexp} is sometimes bad on ActivePerl, compensating |
1241 | - Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests |
1242 | |
1243 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
1244 | - Expanding Known Good list |
1245 | - Adding Known Programs to README |
1246 | |
1247 | 5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002 |
1248 | [[ API Changes ]] |
1249 | - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not |
1250 | Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded. |
1251 | - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should |
1252 | not be updated. |
1253 | - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker. |
1254 | Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark. |
1255 | |
1256 | [[ New Features ]] |
1257 | * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory. |
1258 | |
1259 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1260 | * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS |
1261 | * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler |
1262 | version installed |
1263 | * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS |
1264 | * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most |
1265 | of the tests from running. |
1266 | - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218) |
1267 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir |
1268 | - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch. |
1269 | - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch |
1270 | (bleadperl@14978) |
1271 | - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622, |
1272 | 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367) |
1273 | - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected. |
1274 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib |
1275 | instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but |
1276 | it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic. |
1277 | - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids |
1278 | accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core. |
1279 | - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN. |
1280 | - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS. |
1281 | - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex. |

1285 | - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't |
f6d6199c |
1286 | work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be |
1287 | added sometime in the future (read: send a patch). |
1288 | - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for |
1289 | more than five years). |
1290 | - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't |
1291 | see how its useful outside the core. |
1292 | |
1293 | [[ New Features ]] |
1294 | * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib |
1295 | (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore). |
1296 | - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not. |
1297 | - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs |
1298 | (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810) |
1299 | |
1300 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
1301 | * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded |
1302 | with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed. |
1303 | * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class |
1304 | methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker. |
1305 | * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong. |
1306 | - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780) |
1307 | |
1308 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
1309 | * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague |
1310 | reflecting its odd behavior. |
1311 | - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely |
1312 | to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs. |
1313 | - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs. |
1314 | |
1315 | [[ Internal Refactorings ]] |
1316 | - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any |
1317 | - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any |
1318 | * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners" |
1319 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix. |
1320 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix |
1321 | - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2. |
1322 | - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist() |
1323 | - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible |
1324 | to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix. |
1325 | |
1326 | 5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002 |
1327 | - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can |
1328 | chdir without breaking @INC. |
1329 | - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5. |
1330 | - LLIBPERL was not being set. |
1331 | - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D |
1332 | or pipes STDIN to /dev/null. |
1333 | - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check. |
1334 | - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441) |
1335 | |
1336 | * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal |
1337 | change. |
1338 | - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary. |
1339 | - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary. |
1340 | - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 |
1341 | is now an MM_Win32 subclass. |
1342 | - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were |
1343 | defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec |
1344 | - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 |
1345 | backporting |
1346 | - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* |
1347 | modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)" |
1348 | - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. |
1349 | They did this before, but in a round-about way. |
1350 | - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead |
1351 | @MM::ISA does that itself. |
1352 | - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules. |
1353 | - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have |
1354 | explicitly required MM_Unix. |
1355 | - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now |
1356 | a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted. |
1357 | - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir |
1358 | with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster. |
1359 | - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs. |
1360 | - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker |
1361 | to EU::MM. |
1362 | - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted. |
1363 | |
1364 | 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002 |
1365 | - No longer requiring Test::More |
1366 | - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1 |
5c161494 |
1367 | - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs. |
f6d6199c |
1368 | - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364) |
1369 | * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available. |
1370 | - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC. |
1371 | No longer obsolete |
1372 | - Little test fixes |

1374 | 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002 |
1375 | * moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh |
1376 | * Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to |
1377 | work on Win32/5.6.1. |
1378 | * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly. |
1379 | * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed. |
1380 | - Minor prereq error formatting glitch |
1381 | - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a |
1382 | thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1. |
1383 | - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests |
1384 | |
1385 | 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002 |
1386 | - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work. |

39234879 |
1389 | * Adapted from bleadperl@14303 |
1390 | * Backported to 5.6.1 |
1391 | - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/ |
1392 | - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm |
1393 | ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report |
1394 | back. Tests probably only need minor fixes. |
