1 Revision history for local::lib
5 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
6 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
7 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
8 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
10 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
11 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
13 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
18 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
20 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
22 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
23 with C<--self-contained>.
27 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
29 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
33 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
34 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
37 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
39 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
43 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
44 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
45 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
46 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
47 wouldn't work without a directory.
50 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
51 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
52 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
56 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
57 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
59 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
62 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
63 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
64 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
65 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
66 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
67 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
68 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
69 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
72 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
73 blessed entries. (grink)
74 - Include test in xt/ for the above
76 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
77 archlibexp when self contained.
78 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
79 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
80 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
81 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
82 respects it. (confound)
85 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
86 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
87 programmatically (confound).
89 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
92 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
93 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
95 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
96 bootstrapping (confound).
99 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
100 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
102 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
106 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
107 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
110 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
111 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
114 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
115 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
116 in local::lib::import().
119 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
120 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
123 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
124 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
127 - refactored shell command generation
128 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
130 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
