2 | - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl isntead of |
3 | PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed |
4 | (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger] |
5 | - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version |
6 | for backwards compatibility. |
7 | - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of |
8 | modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written. |

10 | 6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003 |
11 | - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we |
12 | take a more conservative approach. |
13 | - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows. |
14 | - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290] |
15 | - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase] |
16 | - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing |
17 | nmake [rt 4285 4301] |

20 | - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and |
21 | teardown the dummy modules as needed. |
22 | - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set |
23 | - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR) |
24 | instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL |
25 | INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected. |
26 | |
27 | 6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003 |
28 | - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich) |
29 | - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase) |
30 | * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now |
31 | fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for |
32 | $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older |
33 | Perls. |
34 | * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds. |
35 | * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead. |
36 | - Removed now unused dir_target() method. |
37 | - Added a little documentation to instmodsh. |
38 | * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use |
39 | it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of |
40 | PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS. |
41 | * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang) |
42 | - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake |
43 | made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2 |
44 | - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix() |
45 | * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used. |
46 | * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and |
47 | open.pm (Autrijus Tang) |
48 | - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded. |
49 | * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing. |
50 | * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a |
51 | warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml |
52 | - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims) |
53 | * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed |
54 | (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea) |
55 | * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last |
56 | November and nobody noticed. |
57 | - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set |
58 | by the user. |
59 | - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories |
60 | * Documented UNINST=1 |
61 | |

62 | 6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003 |
63 | - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves) |
64 | * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so |
65 | it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found. |
66 | * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB |
67 | (Orton Yves) |
68 | - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others) |
69 | where a read-only file cannot be deleted. |
70 | - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates |
71 | ndbgperl.exe. |
72 | - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument. |
73 | |
2c91f887 |
74 | 6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003 |
75 | * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old |
76 | versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS). |
77 | - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed. |
78 | [Sreeji K Das] |
79 | * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP |
80 | - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel |
81 | bleadperl@20530) |
82 | - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to |
83 | causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180) |
84 | |

85 | 6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003 |
86 | - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already |
87 | installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon) |
88 | |
89 | 6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003 |
90 | - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml |
91 | itself and the metafile documentation. |
92 | - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the |
93 | way of users adding code to the manifypods target. |
94 | - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using |
95 | it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man |
96 | installation targets in a backwards compatible way. |
97 | * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs. |

100 | - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester) |
101 | - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This |
102 | was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345. |
103 | - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up. |
104 | |

105 | 6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003 |
106 | - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and |
107 | prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than |
108 | "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283) |
109 | - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean" |
110 | (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this |
111 | was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't |
112 | blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied |
113 | to INST_*. |
114 | - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking |
115 | for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a |
116 | really bizarre way. |
117 | |
118 | 6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003 |
119 | - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke |
120 | - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run |
121 | twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again. |
122 | * Noting where to find make in the README |
123 | * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile |
124 | on Windows. |
1b0fc073 |
125 | |
126 | 6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003 |
127 | * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default |
128 | always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949] |
129 | * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which |
130 | tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL |
131 | (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's). |
132 | This appears to be a rather old bug. |
133 | [rt.cpan.org #2951] |
134 | * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get |
135 | stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process |
136 | of prepending a .. onto it. |
137 | - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing |
138 | expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it. |
139 | * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute. |
140 | - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep |
141 | repeating the list all over the code. |
142 | - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing |
143 | with DESTDIR set. |
144 | * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892 |
145 | and part of rt.cpan.org #2954] |
146 | * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables. |
147 | installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents |
148 | the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod. |
149 | DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954] |
150 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing |
151 | some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored. |
152 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing |
153 | internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify |
154 | when it didn't. |
155 | |
156 | 6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003 |
157 | * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB |
158 | instead of one for each perl, site and vendor. |
e3aa3ecb |
159 | - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back |
160 | to using multiple -e's. |
161 | * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS |
162 | in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped. |
163 | - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading |
164 | files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry. |
165 | - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya) |
1b0fc073 |
166 | - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous |
167 | newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to |
168 | $(ECHO). |
169 | - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n' |
e3aa3ecb |

171 | 6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003 |
172 | - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in |
173 | ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug. |
174 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows. |
175 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during |
176 | the basic.t test on Windows. |
177 | |

178 | 6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003 |
179 | * Documenting META.yml, NO_META |
180 | * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and |
181 | alter your manifest. |
182 | * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ |
183 | - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better. |
184 | - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry) |
185 | * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere |
186 | around 6.06_01. |
187 | - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install() |
188 | - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install |
189 | loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows. |
190 | - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only |
191 | (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723) |
192 | - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the |
193 | dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747) |
194 | |

195 | 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003 |
196 | - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl] |
197 | - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic) |
198 | - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in |
199 | 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong. |
200 | * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end |
201 | of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444] |
202 | * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from. |
203 | - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions. |
204 | - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal) |
205 | - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic) |
206 | - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman) |
207 | - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper) |
208 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper) |
209 | * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has. |
210 | 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again. |
211 | * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they |
212 | sometimes don't get installed. |
213 | - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the |
214 | "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic) |
215 | * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in |
216 | 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark) |
217 | |
218 | 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003 |
219 | * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of |
220 | META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359) |
221 | - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry) |
222 | * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar |
223 | if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators. |
224 | Fixed. |
225 | * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files. |
226 | * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas) |
227 | - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03. |
228 | (Stas Bekman) |
229 | - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems. |
230 | (Craig Berry) |
231 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko) |
232 | - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails |
233 | miserably. |
234 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry) |
235 | |
236 | 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003 |
237 | * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen |
238 | except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't. |
239 | Just on OS/2. |
240 | |
241 | 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003 |
242 | - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently |
243 | - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding |
244 | to skip installing a file. |
245 | - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya) |
246 | - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya) |
247 | - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya) |
248 | - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in |
249 | at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) |
250 | - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core |
251 | removed. No longer relevent. |
252 | - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon) |
253 | * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc. |
254 | - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid |
255 | - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too |
256 | annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed. |
257 | Mentioned it in the FAQ instead. |
258 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared |
259 | properly before. (Craig Berry) |
260 | - Fixing ECHO on dmake. |
261 | - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is() |
262 | - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier |
263 | reading. |
264 | * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively. |
265 | - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t |
266 | - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library. |
267 | * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names |
268 | from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur) |
269 | |
270 | # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been |
271 | # so much change between 6.05 and now. |
272 | |
273 | 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003 |
479d2113 |
274 | - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed... |
275 | - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a |
276 | warning because of this. |
277 | - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC. |
278 | A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from |
279 | the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC. |
280 | Worked around. |
281 | - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef |
282 | - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/ |
283 | |
284 | 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003 |
285 | - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just |
286 | the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS. |
287 | - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix} |
288 | (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared |
289 | in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}. |
290 | - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions |
291 | - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1 |
292 | thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there. |
293 | - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no |
294 | args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler. |
295 | * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility. |
296 | Missing since 5.6.1. |
297 | - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten |
298 | command line lengths. |
299 | - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest |
300 | - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to |
301 | eof() not honor tied handles. |
302 | - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was |
303 | causing warnings when generating the Makefile. |
304 | |
305 | 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003 |
306 | - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info for ppd generation. |
307 | - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file. |
308 | - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker |
309 | to think modules weren't installed. |
310 | - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets |
311 | - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO). |
312 | - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS |
313 | - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy. |
314 | - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before. |
315 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(), |
316 | warn_if_old_packlist(). |
317 | * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS |
318 | as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S |
319 | in the first place. |
320 | * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized! |
321 | Holdover from exclusive .exists usage. |
322 | - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO) |
323 | - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS |
324 | - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others() |
325 | - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass. |
326 | - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line |
327 | lengths causing it to run over on VMS |
328 | - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro |
329 | expansion |
330 | - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS |
331 | - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec. |
332 | - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS |
333 | can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing. |
334 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with |
335 | MakeMaker. |
336 | - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma. |
337 | - Added compile & POD test |
338 | * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file. |
339 | Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build. |
340 | * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST |
341 | * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as |
342 | octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman). |
343 | - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable |
344 | [perl #21526] |
345 | |
346 | 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002 |
347 | * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. |
348 | * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with |
349 | shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult. |
350 | * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to |
351 | object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and |
352 | fixpath() work again. |
353 | |
354 | 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002 |
355 | - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for |
356 | MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl. |
357 | - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be |
358 | canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths. |
359 | MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile(). |
360 | - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags. |
361 | * Added a PATCHING guideline document. |
362 | - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES. |
363 | - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better. |
364 | - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man |
365 | rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from |
366 | MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went |

453 | Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override. |
454 | Everything else was redundant. |

459 | into init_linker(). |
460 | - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION, |

469 | unportable part of the realclean target. |
470 | - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners. |
471 | - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part |
472 | * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.' |

474 | - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS |
475 | is explicitly set to empty. |
476 | * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier. |
477 | * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables. |
478 | * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former |
479 | holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the |
480 | optional override prefix supplied by the user. |
481 | * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL. |
482 | This restores "make install PREFIX=foo". |
483 | - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting. |
484 | - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms. |
485 | - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle} |

497 | - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long |
498 | commands. |
499 | - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may |
500 | be pointless. |
501 | - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup. |
502 | - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants |
503 | - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle |
504 | bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking. |

523 | - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347) |
524 | - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347) |
525 | * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to |
526 | generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more |
527 | often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded. |
528 | - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending |
529 | diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod |
530 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ |

770 | * Fixing installing on VMS. |
771 | |
772 | 5.52_01 Tue Mar 26 00:24:26 EST 2002 |
773 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
774 | * ActivePerl 5.6.1/build 631 now 100% |
775 | - Fixed some SelfLoader warnings |
776 | * ExtUtils::MM_Win32 not subclassed off of ExtUtils::MM_Any properly |
777 | - Bug in local $ENV{FOO} was causing failures in MM_Win32 tests. |
778 | Compensating for the bug. |
779 | - $Config{prefixexp} is sometimes bad on ActivePerl, compensating |
780 | - Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests |
781 | |
782 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
783 | - Expanding Known Good list |
784 | - Adding Known Programs to README |
785 | |
786 | 5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002 |
787 | [[ API Changes ]] |
788 | - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not |
789 | Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded. |
790 | - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should |
791 | not be updated. |
792 | - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker. |
793 | Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark. |
794 | |
795 | [[ New Features ]] |
796 | * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory. |
797 | |
798 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
799 | * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS |
800 | * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler |
801 | version installed |
802 | * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS |
803 | * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most |
804 | of the tests from running. |
805 | - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218) |
806 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir |
807 | - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch. |
808 | - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch |
809 | (bleadperl@14978) |
810 | - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622, |
811 | 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367) |
812 | - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected. |
813 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib |
814 | instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but |
815 | it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic. |
816 | - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids |
817 | accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core. |
818 | - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN. |
819 | - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS. |
820 | - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex. |
821 | |

479d2113 |
824 | - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't |
f6d6199c |
825 | work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be |
826 | added sometime in the future (read: send a patch). |
827 | - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for |
828 | more than five years). |
829 | - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't |
830 | see how its useful outside the core. |
831 | |
832 | [[ New Features ]] |
833 | * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib |
834 | (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore). |
835 | - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not. |
836 | - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs |
837 | (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810) |
838 | |
839 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
840 | * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded |
841 | with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed. |
842 | * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class |
843 | methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker. |
844 | * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong. |
845 | - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780) |
846 | |
847 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
848 | * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague |
849 | reflecting its odd behavior. |
850 | - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely |
851 | to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs. |
852 | - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs. |
853 | |
854 | [[ Internal Refactorings ]] |
855 | - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any |
856 | - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any |
857 | * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners" |
858 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix. |
859 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix |
860 | - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2. |
861 | - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist() |
862 | - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible |
863 | to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix. |
864 | |
865 | 5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002 |
866 | - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can |
867 | chdir without breaking @INC. |
868 | - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5. |
869 | - LLIBPERL was not being set. |
870 | - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D |
871 | or pipes STDIN to /dev/null. |
872 | - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check. |
873 | - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441) |
874 | |
875 | * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal |
876 | change. |
877 | - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary. |
878 | - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary. |
879 | - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 |
880 | is now an MM_Win32 subclass. |
881 | - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were |
882 | defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec |
883 | - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 |
884 | backporting |
885 | - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* |
886 | modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)" |
887 | - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. |
888 | They did this before, but in a round-about way. |
889 | - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead |
890 | @MM::ISA does that itself. |
891 | - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules. |
892 | - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have |
893 | explicitly required MM_Unix. |
894 | - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now |
895 | a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted. |
896 | - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir |
897 | with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster. |
898 | - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs. |
899 | - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker |
900 | to EU::MM. |
901 | - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted. |
902 | |
903 | 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002 |
904 | - No longer requiring Test::More |
905 | - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1 |
5c161494 |
906 | - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs. |
f6d6199c |
907 | - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364) |
908 | * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available. |
909 | - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC. |
910 | No longer obsolete |
911 | - Little test fixes |
912 | |

913 | 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002 |
914 | * moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh |
915 | * Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to |
916 | work on Win32/5.6.1. |
917 | * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly. |
918 | * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed. |
919 | - Minor prereq error formatting glitch |
920 | - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a |
921 | thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1. |
922 | - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests |
923 | |
924 | 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002 |
925 | - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work. |

927 | 5.48_01 Wed Jan 16 15:10:28 EST 2002 |
39234879 |
928 | * Adapted from bleadperl@14303 |
929 | * Backported to 5.6.1 |
930 | - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/ |
931 | - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm |
932 | ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report |
933 | back. Tests probably only need minor fixes. |
