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