1 Revision history for local::lib
4 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
7 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
8 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
9 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
10 environment_vars_string_for()
11 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
12 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
15 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
16 miyagawa for pointing this out.
20 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
21 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
25 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
29 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
30 - Documented one method in all languages
34 - Added portuguese translation
35 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
36 - Changed methods look in documentation
40 - Added support informations (also for german)
41 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
49 - Added german translation right
53 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
57 - Added german translation
58 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
59 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
60 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
64 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
65 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
67 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
75 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
76 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
77 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
78 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
80 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
81 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
83 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
88 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
90 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
92 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
93 with C<--self-contained>.
97 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
99 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
103 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
104 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
107 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
109 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
113 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
114 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
115 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
116 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
117 wouldn't work without a directory.
120 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
121 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
122 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
126 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
127 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
129 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
132 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
133 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
134 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
135 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
136 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
137 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
138 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
139 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
142 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
143 blessed entries. (grink)
144 - Include test in xt/ for the above
146 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
147 archlibexp when self contained.
148 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
149 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
150 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
151 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
152 respects it. (confound)
155 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
156 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
157 programmatically (confound).
159 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
162 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
163 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
165 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
166 bootstrapping (confound).
169 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
170 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
172 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
176 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
177 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
180 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
181 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
184 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
185 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
186 in local::lib::import().
189 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
190 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
193 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
194 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
197 - refactored shell command generation
198 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
200 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
