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