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