1 Revision history for local::lib
4 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
5 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
6 - Fix activate_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
7 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
10 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
11 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
15 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
19 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
23 - Add local::lib stacking support.
24 - Add activation/deactivation support.
28 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
32 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
33 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
34 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
35 environment_vars_string_for()
36 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
37 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
40 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
41 miyagawa for pointing this out.
45 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
46 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
50 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
54 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
55 - Documented one method in all languages
59 - Added portuguese translation
60 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
61 - Changed methods look in documentation
65 - Added support informations (also for german)
66 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
74 - Added german translation right
78 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
82 - Added german translation
83 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
84 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
85 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
89 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
90 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
92 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
100 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
101 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
102 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
103 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
105 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
106 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
108 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
113 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
115 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
117 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
118 with C<--self-contained>.
122 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
124 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
128 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
129 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
132 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
134 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
138 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
139 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
140 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
141 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
142 wouldn't work without a directory.
145 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
146 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
147 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
151 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
152 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
154 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
157 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
158 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
159 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
160 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
161 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
162 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
163 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
164 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
167 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
168 blessed entries. (grink)
169 - Include test in xt/ for the above
171 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
172 archlibexp when self contained.
173 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
174 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
175 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
176 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
177 respects it. (confound)
180 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
181 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
182 programmatically (confound).
184 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
187 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
188 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
190 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
191 bootstrapping (confound).
194 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
195 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
197 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
201 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
202 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
205 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
206 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
209 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
210 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
211 in local::lib::import().
214 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
215 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
218 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
219 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
222 - refactored shell command generation
223 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
225 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
