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