1 Revision history for ExtUtils-Install
5 This is a "no-change" version bump because I pushed the v1.53 change
6 and then realized that MakeMaker.t was a bad name for a file that would
7 end up in core where the EUMM tests and the EUI tests are in the same
8 directory. This renames it to InstallWithMM.t.
12 Final stage of the divorce from EUMM. Now the EUMM related tests are no
13 longer shared. Build.pl and Build.t go, and there shall be peace on earth.
14 At least until somebody patches EUMM/t/basic.t for something EUI related...
16 Thanks to M. Schwern for helping me work this one out. Cheers man.
20 Missed the t/Installed.t test from core. Bumped version number to allow
21 a new distro to be released.
25 Make _chmod verbose message use octal modes, thanks to BDFOY
27 Further changes from core, including lastest test file infrastructure
30 Fixed a number of problems in ExtUtils::Installed, for various reasons
31 this includes a version bump to 1.999_001, which will eventually become
32 version 2.0. These problems related to finding modules that were installed
33 with either INSTALL_BASE or PREFIX. Hopefully this resolves these issues.
35 1.52_01 (core only release)

43 ExtUtils::Install VMS extended character set support
45 Preview from https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42149
50 Production rerelease of 1.51 to make the CPAN indexer happy about permissions
57 Production release of 1.50_05. No other changes.
65 Fix broken test as reported by Craig Berry.
71 Restructure tests to make it easier to maintain given it is distributed in various
72 ways in three different packages.
78 Sigh, just after i released 1.50_02 I noticed that a test modified in it will fail
79 under VMS. So this is a fixup release for that alone.
85 Synchronize with the changes that were made in blead perl
86 patch #33567. VMS changes by Craig Berry. See
88 http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33567
90 This was marked in the pod as 1.51 but not actually version bumped.
92 So I've marked it as 1.50_02 as a test release prior to putting it out
95 This release also restores the missing installed.t which was accidentally
96 missed by the MANIFEST having a duplicate entry for install.t instead.
97 Probably something should have warned about this, but I haven't worked out
100 Includes changes from Activestate/ActivePerl:
102 - To make installation less chatty when not under verbose mode. See
104 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=5903
106 - To install HTML documentation files under builds that set $Config{installhtmldir}
107 (and presumably also create HTML versions of the pod -- which is quite nice actually :-)
109 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37727
113 Version only released as part of bleadperl added in revision #33566.
114 Cygwin related changes by Steve Hay, and others, see
116 http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33566
120 http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2008-03/msg00056.html
124 Previous patches to _have_write_access() were causing problems
125 on Cygwin. So now we skip using POSIX::access under cygwin.
126 Also added some =pod directives to make my favorite editor
127 highlight the pod properly.
131 Turns out that the new can_write_dir.t doesnt work properly under root
132 as root can read the files regardless as to their mode. So we skip those
133 tests when the effective UID is 0 indicating root.
137 We were getting N/A test results from CPAN testers due to the
138 presence of Config in the prequisities list. This has been corrected.
140 Also it was pointed out that EU_ALWAYS_COPY did not follow the naming
141 convention of other ExtUtils::Install environment variables. It has
142 been renamed EU_INSTALL_ALWAYS_COPY. Support remains for the original
143 deprecated environment variable but it will be removed in 1.50.
147 Fix build process so a new META.YML is produced each time. Also
148 add support for a new argument syntax to install() as well as
149 support for always copying installed files even when the old
150 file was identical. This is needed for some bundling mechanisms
151 and can be activated by setting the environment variable EU_ALWAYS_COPY
152 before the install process starts.
154 Add a newer cleaner interface to install() to allow named parameters
155 and easier external monitoring of what transpired.
157 1.46 2008-03-01 12:42:35
159 Apply patches from Michael G. Schwern (rt #33688, rt #31429, rt #31248)
160 and from Slaven Rezic (rt #33290). Also implemented the suggestion from
161 Schwern about not dieing when failing to remove a shadow file that is
162 later on in INC than the installed version. (rt #2928)
164 1.45 2008-02-27 13:55:27
166 Fix rt.cpan.org #32813, use catpath() to attach volume name
167 to dirs in _can_write_dir() when necessary to avoid cygwin
168 builds doing a hostname lookup.
170 1.44 2007-09-09 23:12:25
174 *** MAJOR BUG FIX ***
176 install() would always try to uninstall different versions of the
177 installed files when $uninstall_shadows was given whether it was true or false.
178 This meant "make install" and "Build install" would both always try to uninstall
179 differing versions of the modules. [rt.cpan.org 28672]
181 1.43 2007-07-21 00:09:24
183 Turns out some recent version, I haven't figured out which, causes
184 ExtUtils::MakeMaker to fail test. The failure is actually bogus, EUMM
185 is testing for output that we stopped producing except under verbose,
186 however it is a pain, so this release fixes the problem. It also adds
187 a new test file, a stripped down version of ExtUtils::MakeMakers
190 1.42 2007-07-20 22:43:04
192 This is just 1.41_04 as a production release.
194 1.41_04 2007-07-07 16:52:40
196 Reorganize how things work in Install so that we don't try to create
197 directories which exist but are not writable to us when they contain
198 files which we want to install which are writable by us.
199 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=25627
201 Also fix a VMS issue as recommended by Craig Berry.
202 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22157
204 1.41_03 2007-02-11 15:13
206 Add an extra_libs parameter to ExtUtils::Installed->new() which allows
207 one to specify additional libs to search for installed modules.
209 Additional code cleanup and tweaks.
211 1.41_02 2007-02-03 21:10
213 Fix bug in _can_write_file().
215 1.41_01 2007-02-02 21:03
217 Integrated changes from
219 1. Steffen Mueller: make ExtUtils::Installed respect PERL5LIB and allow
220 overriding the current config and inc with something else.
222 2. Michael Schwern (RT#21949, RT#21948): Fix use lib and installdirs
223 and other EU::MakeMaker related changes.
225 3. ActiveState (RT#5903): Reduce install verbosity.
227 4. Craig Berry (RT#22157): Fix VMS related install failure.
229 5. Ken Williams (RT#16225): Make fake uninstall actually fake.
232 1.41 2006-07-02 16:09
234 Integrated ExtUtils::Packlist changes from Nicholas Clark to allow for
235 relocatable perls. Bumped version numbers on all files.
237 1.40 2006-04-30 15:04
239 Enhanced errorcatching and reporting. Fixed a problem with the INSTALL.SKIP
240 file. Changed the Makefile.PL so that when installing it would not use the same
241 stuff it was replacing. This doesn't affect building with Module::Build
244 Removed META.yml from distribution.
246 1.39 2006-04-14 18:53
248 - Fixed problem with the META.yml file being produced from a Win32 point of view.
249 IMO this is an error/failing in the design of the META.yml process. META.yml should
250 be created on the client side not on the distributor side. Now produces a
251 platform agnostic (ie UNIXy) META.yml.
253 - Reversed order of change file so newest entries go on top.
256 1.38 2006-04-02 17:31
258 - Removed MANIFEST.SKIP support (INSTALL.SKIP still supported), and
259 added support for providing a fallback skip file by using
260 ENV{EU_INSTALL_SITE_SKIP} as a fallback if there is not a distribution
263 - Released under the ExtUtils-Install-1.38 Name
266 1.3702 2006-03-19 16:54
268 - Added support for skipping files during install based on a set of filter
269 rules. If there is an INSTALL.SKIP in the current directory when doing an
270 install then it is loaded, otherwise if there is a MANIFEST.SKIP then it is
271 loaded. If neither exists then no filtration occurs. The env variable
272 EU_INSTALL_IGNORE_SKIP may be set to a true value to override this behaviour.
273 This means that you can make .svn directories be ignored on install.
275 1.3701 2006-03-13 20:00
277 - Integrated patch from Randy Sims.
279 1. Fixes error during `perl Makefile.PL` because it MakeMaker can't
280 find the NAME section describing DISTNAME (which has the 'ex-'
283 2. Win32API::File is recommended on MSWin32 && cygwin.
285 3. Under Perl5.005, ExtUtils::MM is not present in the version of
286 MakeMaker included. I don't know what version first includes it.
287 Needs research or better: eliminate need for it.
289 4. Test::More is bundled with the distro for its test suite. This
290 would be needed on Perl5.005, for example. It was listed as a
291 requirement, but the directory it's bundled in is not in @INC when
292 prereqs are checked. I removed the prereq from Build.PL &
293 Makefile.PL. Other options: 1) fixup @INC to include t/lib; or 2)
294 unbundle and add back to prereqs.
296 4. Update t/pod.t t/pod-coverage fixup of @INC so it can find
299 - Fixed pod/coverage related issues.
301 - When trying to schedule a delete at reboot after renaming a dll out of
302 the way no error occurs if Win32API::File isn't available. Instead it
303 merely warns that the file should be hand deleted.
305 - Fixed install at reboot behaviour by making sure the temporar file is
306 writable after install (normally files installed are readonly)
308 1.37 2006-03-12 23:20
310 - Refactored reboot support. Integrated changes from Randy Sims
311 in p5p message 4413F4E9.7090802@thepierianspring.org
314 1.36 2006-03-11 12:42
316 - Extended Win32 support. Added ExtUtils::Install::MUST_REBOOT to
317 handle such scenario when rebooting.
319 - Released as ex-ExtUtils-Install by demerphq
321 1.35 Wed Feb 1 23:00:00 CST 2006
323 - First independent release; Extracted ExtUtils::Install,
324 ExtUtils::Installed, & ExtUtils::Packlist from MakeMaker.
326 - Changed the $VERSION of all modules to the same version number, a
327 number higher than all $VERSIONs.
