1 Revision history for ExtUtils-Install
5 Make _chmod verbose message use octal modes, thanks to BDFOY
7 Further changes from core, including lastest test file infrastructure
10 Fixed a number of problems in ExtUtils::Installed, for various reasons
11 this includes a version bump to 1.999_001, which will eventually become
12 version 2.0. These problems related to finding modules that were installed
13 with either INSTALL_BASE or PREFIX. Hopefully this resolves these issues.
15 1.52_01 (core only release)
19 commit 3d55b451d9544fbd4c27c33287b76bee30328830

23 ExtUtils::Install VMS extended character set support
25 Preview from https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42149
30 Production rerelease of 1.51 to make the CPAN indexer happy about permissions
37 Production release of 1.50_05. No other changes.
45 Fix broken test as reported by Craig Berry.
51 Restructure tests to make it easier to maintain given it is distributed in various
52 ways in three different packages.
58 Sigh, just after i released 1.50_02 I noticed that a test modified in it will fail
59 under VMS. So this is a fixup release for that alone.
65 Synchronize with the changes that were made in blead perl
66 patch #33567. VMS changes by Craig Berry. See
68 http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33567
70 This was marked in the pod as 1.51 but not actually version bumped.
72 So I've marked it as 1.50_02 as a test release prior to putting it out
75 This release also restores the missing installed.t which was accidentally
76 missed by the MANIFEST having a duplicate entry for install.t instead.
77 Probably something should have warned about this, but I haven't worked out
80 Includes changes from Activestate/ActivePerl:
82 - To make installation less chatty when not under verbose mode. See
84 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=5903
86 - To install HTML documentation files under builds that set $Config{installhtmldir}
87 (and presumably also create HTML versions of the pod -- which is quite nice actually :-)
89 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37727
93 Version only released as part of bleadperl added in revision #33566.
94 Cygwin related changes by Steve Hay, and others, see
96 http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33566

104 Previous patches to _have_write_access() were causing problems
105 on Cygwin. So now we skip using POSIX::access under cygwin.
106 Also added some =pod directives to make my favorite editor
107 highlight the pod properly.
111 Turns out that the new can_write_dir.t doesnt work properly under root
112 as root can read the files regardless as to their mode. So we skip those
113 tests when the effective UID is 0 indicating root.
117 We were getting N/A test results from CPAN testers due to the
118 presence of Config in the prequisities list. This has been corrected.
120 Also it was pointed out that EU_ALWAYS_COPY did not follow the naming
121 convention of other ExtUtils::Install environment variables. It has
122 been renamed EU_INSTALL_ALWAYS_COPY. Support remains for the original
123 deprecated environment variable but it will be removed in 1.50.
127 Fix build process so a new META.YML is produced each time. Also
128 add support for a new argument syntax to install() as well as
129 support for always copying installed files even when the old
130 file was identical. This is needed for some bundling mechanisms
131 and can be activated by setting the environment variable EU_ALWAYS_COPY
132 before the install process starts.
134 Add a newer cleaner interface to install() to allow named parameters
135 and easier external monitoring of what transpired.
137 1.46 2008-03-01 12:42:35
139 Apply patches from Michael G. Schwern (rt #33688, rt #31429, rt #31248)
140 and from Slaven Rezic (rt #33290). Also implemented the suggestion from
141 Schwern about not dieing when failing to remove a shadow file that is
142 later on in INC than the installed version. (rt #2928)
144 1.45 2008-02-27 13:55:27
146 Fix rt.cpan.org #32813, use catpath() to attach volume name
147 to dirs in _can_write_dir() when necessary to avoid cygwin
148 builds doing a hostname lookup.
150 1.44 2007-09-09 23:12:25
154 *** MAJOR BUG FIX ***
156 install() would always try to uninstall different versions of the
157 installed files when $uninstall_shadows was given whether it was true or false.
158 This meant "make install" and "Build install" would both always try to uninstall
159 differing versions of the modules. [rt.cpan.org 28672]
161 1.43 2007-07-21 00:09:24
163 Turns out some recent version, I haven't figured out which, causes
164 ExtUtils::MakeMaker to fail test. The failure is actually bogus, EUMM
165 is testing for output that we stopped producing except under verbose,
166 however it is a pain, so this release fixes the problem. It also adds
167 a new test file, a stripped down version of ExtUtils::MakeMakers
170 1.42 2007-07-20 22:43:04
172 This is just 1.41_04 as a production release.
174 1.41_04 2007-07-07 16:52:40
176 Reorganize how things work in Install so that we don't try to create
177 directories which exist but are not writable to us when they contain
178 files which we want to install which are writable by us.
179 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=25627
181 Also fix a VMS issue as recommended by Craig Berry.
182 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22157
184 1.41_03 2007-02-11 15:13
186 Add an extra_libs parameter to ExtUtils::Installed->new() which allows
187 one to specify additional libs to search for installed modules.
189 Additional code cleanup and tweaks.
191 1.41_02 2007-02-03 21:10
193 Fix bug in _can_write_file().
195 1.41_01 2007-02-02 21:03
197 Integrated changes from
199 1. Steffen Mueller: make ExtUtils::Installed respect PERL5LIB and allow
200 overriding the current config and inc with something else.
202 2. Michael Schwern (RT#21949, RT#21948): Fix use lib and installdirs
203 and other EU::MakeMaker related changes.
205 3. ActiveState (RT#5903): Reduce install verbosity.
207 4. Craig Berry (RT#22157): Fix VMS related install failure.
209 5. Ken Williams (RT#16225): Make fake uninstall actually fake.
212 1.41 2006-07-02 16:09
214 Integrated ExtUtils::Packlist changes from Nicholas Clark to allow for
215 relocatable perls. Bumped version numbers on all files.
217 1.40 2006-04-30 15:04
219 Enhanced errorcatching and reporting. Fixed a problem with the INSTALL.SKIP
220 file. Changed the Makefile.PL so that when installing it would not use the same
221 stuff it was replacing. This doesn't affect building with Module::Build
224 Removed META.yml from distribution.
226 1.39 2006-04-14 18:53
228 - Fixed problem with the META.yml file being produced from a Win32 point of view.
229 IMO this is an error/failing in the design of the META.yml process. META.yml should
230 be created on the client side not on the distributor side. Now produces a
231 platform agnostic (ie UNIXy) META.yml.
233 - Reversed order of change file so newest entries go on top.
236 1.38 2006-04-02 17:31
238 - Removed MANIFEST.SKIP support (INSTALL.SKIP still supported), and
239 added support for providing a fallback skip file by using
240 ENV{EU_INSTALL_SITE_SKIP} as a fallback if there is not a distribution
243 - Released under the ExtUtils-Install-1.38 Name
246 1.3702 2006-03-19 16:54
248 - Added support for skipping files during install based on a set of filter
249 rules. If there is an INSTALL.SKIP in the current directory when doing an
250 install then it is loaded, otherwise if there is a MANIFEST.SKIP then it is
251 loaded. If neither exists then no filtration occurs. The env variable
252 EU_INSTALL_IGNORE_SKIP may be set to a true value to override this behaviour.
253 This means that you can make .svn directories be ignored on install.
255 1.3701 2006-03-13 20:00
257 - Integrated patch from Randy Sims.
259 1. Fixes error during `perl Makefile.PL` because it MakeMaker can't
260 find the NAME section describing DISTNAME (which has the 'ex-'
263 2. Win32API::File is recommended on MSWin32 && cygwin.
265 3. Under Perl5.005, ExtUtils::MM is not present in the version of
266 MakeMaker included. I don't know what version first includes it.
267 Needs research or better: eliminate need for it.
269 4. Test::More is bundled with the distro for its test suite. This
270 would be needed on Perl5.005, for example. It was listed as a
271 requirement, but the directory it's bundled in is not in @INC when
272 prereqs are checked. I removed the prereq from Build.PL &
273 Makefile.PL. Other options: 1) fixup @INC to include t/lib; or 2)
274 unbundle and add back to prereqs.
276 4. Update t/pod.t t/pod-coverage fixup of @INC so it can find
279 - Fixed pod/coverage related issues.
281 - When trying to schedule a delete at reboot after renaming a dll out of
282 the way no error occurs if Win32API::File isn't available. Instead it
283 merely warns that the file should be hand deleted.
285 - Fixed install at reboot behaviour by making sure the temporar file is
286 writable after install (normally files installed are readonly)
288 1.37 2006-03-12 23:20
290 - Refactored reboot support. Integrated changes from Randy Sims
291 in p5p message 4413F4E9.7090802@thepierianspring.org
294 1.36 2006-03-11 12:42
296 - Extended Win32 support. Added ExtUtils::Install::MUST_REBOOT to
297 handle such scenario when rebooting.
299 - Released as ex-ExtUtils-Install by demerphq
301 1.35 Wed Feb 1 23:00:00 CST 2006
303 - First independent release; Extracted ExtUtils::Install,
304 ExtUtils::Installed, & ExtUtils::Packlist from MakeMaker.
306 - Changed the $VERSION of all modules to the same version number, a
307 number higher than all $VERSIONs.
