1 Revision history for local::lib
5 - Added portugese translation
6 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
7 - Changed methods look in documentation
11 - Added support informations (also for german)
12 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
20 - Added german translation right
24 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
28 - Added german translation
29 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
30 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
31 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
35 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
36 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
38 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
46 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
47 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
48 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
49 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
51 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
52 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
54 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
59 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
61 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
63 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
64 with C<--self-contained>.
68 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
70 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
74 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
75 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
78 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
80 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
84 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
85 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
86 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
87 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
88 wouldn't work without a directory.
91 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
92 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
93 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
97 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
98 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
100 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
103 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
104 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
105 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
106 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
107 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
108 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
109 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
110 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
113 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
114 blessed entries. (grink)
115 - Include test in xt/ for the above
117 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
118 archlibexp when self contained.
119 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
120 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
121 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
122 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
123 respects it. (confound)
126 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
127 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
128 programmatically (confound).
130 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
133 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
134 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
136 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
137 bootstrapping (confound).
140 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
141 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
143 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
147 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
148 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
151 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
152 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
155 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
156 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
157 in local::lib::import().
160 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
161 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
164 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
165 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
168 - refactored shell command generation
169 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
171 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
