+6.31 Mon Oct 9 16:54:47 PDT 2006
+ - Update our META.yml to version 1.2 of the spec.
+ * Update the SEE ALSO to mention Module::Build, Module::Install,
+ ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter.
+ - Fix ARCHITECTURE tag in PPD generation for 5.8 (patch taken from
+ ActiveState 819). [rt.cpan.org 20566]
+ * Bring ExtUtils::Manifest up to 1.48
+
+6.30_04 Mon Sep 11 16:14:06 EDT 2006
+ - EXTRA_META has been undocumented as I don't like the way the
+ interface works but I don't want to hold up 6.31. It will be
+ replaced with something better next version.
+ - Added explaination of distclean behavior and instructions on how to
+ blow away anything not in the MANIFEST to the FAQ.
+ * 6.30_01 broke overrides of PM. MakeMaker would add to a user
+ suplied PM rather than simply accepting it.
+ * Document INSTALL_BASE.
+ * Added "How do I install a module into my home directory?" to the FAQ
+ * Added "How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the
+ same place?"
+ - Moving ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap back into
+ lib/ because no independent distribution has taken them over.
+
+6.30_03 Fri Sep 1 17:03:11 EDT 2006
+ - Minor fix to Command.t for Win32.
+
+6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006
+ - Updated to ExtUtils::Install 1.41
+ * Won't scan for and build man pages when MAN3PODS is deliberately set
+ empty.
+ - Minor VMS fixes. [bleadperl@26813]
+ - VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [bleadperl@27613]
+ * Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and
+ INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536]
+ - Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [bleadperl@26457]
+ - $Revision was broken.
+ - Updated our internal version of Test::More to catch a few warnings.
+ - ExtUtils::Command::test_f() test was broken.
+ - Clarified that test_f() exits.
+
+6.30_01 Tue Aug 16 23:53:27 PDT 2005
+ * Fixed compiling modules using an uninstalled Perl on Win32 by using
+ the proper perl header location for Windows (which is different from
+ Unix). Looks like a very old bug. [bugs.perl.org 36128]
+ - $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision accidentally left in a stray "Revision".
+ [thanks pdx.pm for noticing this]
+ - Fixed the $VERSION = $Revision$ example in the MakeMaker docs and the
+ FAQ. [thanks again, pdx.pm]
+ - Elaborated on the differences between CVS, SVN and others when using
+ $Revision$ based $VERSIONs.
+ * ExtUtils::Command, ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Manifest,
+ ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap, ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Packlist
+ are all now considered to be separate distributions. To avoid a
+ circular dependency, MakeMaker distributes its own versions but CPAN
+ should not index them and they will not overwrite a newer, installed
+ version.
+ * Added EXTRA_META option to allow module authors to append extra
+ text to the generated META.yml.
+ * Added a LICENSE field mirroring Module::Build's license.
+ * META.yml support updated to version 1.1. All required fields
+ now generated. (NOTE: 1.1 isn't yet complete but we're going with
+ it anyway. MakeMaker uses "author" instead of "authored_by" as its
+ expected the former will be used in 1.1 final).
+ * Non-conforming version_from and installdirs META.yml fields removed.
+ * META.yml distribution_type field now intelligent enough to guess at
+ the type rather than hard code 'module'.
+ * INSTALLBASE changed to INSTALL_BASE to match Module::Build.
+ * Added a MAKE parameter for Windows users to say if they're using
+ dmake or nmake.
+
+6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005
+ * PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its
+ supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after.
+ - Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older
+ Test::Harness.
+
+6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005
+ * The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several
+ CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have
+ INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built
+ modules.
+ - Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable.
+ - Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored.
+
+6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005
+ - Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core
+ - Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths
+ be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core)
+ - Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside
+ it and any which happen to be in subdirs.
+ - MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker.
+ (bleadperl@24185)
+ - Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning)
+
+6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005
+ * Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative
+ directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP.
+
+6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005
+ * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being
+ passed the file they were to generate.
+ * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is
+ now documented.
+ * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented.
+
+6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005
+
+6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005
+ - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest
+ version is found.
+ - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10.
+
+6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005
+ - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any.
+ - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part
+ of RT 6460 in 6.25_02.
+
+6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005
+ - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I
+ couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility.
+ This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various
+ previous alpha releases.
+
+6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005
+ - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent
+ and better.
+ - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are
+ now possible.
+
+6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005
+ - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it.
+ - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN
+ made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left
+ XSUBPP alone.
+ - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can
+ make commands too long on VMS.
+ - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using
+ .exists files everywhere.
+ - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS.
+ - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds.
+ - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all.
+ - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892)
+ - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with
+ Module::Install
+
+6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004
+ - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice.
+ - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring
+ it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy.
+ - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to
+ a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas.
+
+6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004
+ - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro.
+ - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as
+ targets as their mod time changes too frequently.
+ * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented
+ it yet. I'll do that next release.
+
+6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004
+ - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command".
+ Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro.
+ - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed.
+ - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for
+ Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP.
+
+6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004
+ - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules.
+
+6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004
+ - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own
+ target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This
+ ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes
+ things like SVN's perl bindings.
+
+6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004
+ - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier
+ macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations
+ like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32.
+ [rt.cpan.org 4545]
+ - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting
+ directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851]
+ - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before
+ we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460]
+ - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and
+ several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18.
+
+6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004
+ * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP.
+ * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will
+ only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers,
+ they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time.
+ * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build
+ directory. It will only be generated in the distdir.
+ - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed.
+ - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files.
+ This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to
+ Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix.
+
+6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004
+ - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now
+ ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809]
+ - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP
+
+6.24_01 Thu Dec 9 00:44:48 EST 2004
+ - Docs encouraged possibly insecure use of /tmp [CAN-2004-0976 via Debian]
+ - Remove empty rpath from .so files [bleadperl@23183]
+ - At long last the core man page title has its apostrophe.
+ - BeOS tests fixed [Ingo Weinhold] [perlbug #32717]
+ - Putting a pm_to_blib target back (alias of pm_to_blib.ts) in case
+ anyone was depending on it being there (mod_perl was).
+
+6.24 Tue Nov 30 15:35:13 EST 2004
+ - dir_target() was accidentally named dir_targets() causing problems
+ installing some Tk modules.
+
+6.23 Fri Nov 26 16:01:50 EST 2004
+ - MM_MacOS lost its $VERSION causing some CPAN indexing problems. Enough
+ people noticed this to warrant a quick release.
+
+6.22 Tue Nov 23 22:22:22 EST 2004
+ - Minor glitch in Command.t test on Win32 [thanks Steve Hay]
+ * Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP so it avoids all the new *.ts files.
+ - Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments
+
+6.21_03 Sat Apr 3 2004
+ - pm_to_blib and blibdirs stamp files now pm_to_blib.ts and blibdirs.ts
+ everywhere because some filesystems insist you have a dot in the
+ filename. This eliminates a bunch of special case code.
+ - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic.
+ - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential
+ errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway.
+ - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP.
+ * Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run.
+ * Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building
+ large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson]
+ * test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}.
+ [Greg Matheson]
+ - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available.
+ [Slaven Rezic]
+ - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives.
+ [Slaven Rezic]
+ - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?"
+ and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie]
+ - Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume
+ [Ilya Zakharevich]
+ - When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed
+ xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig]
+ - makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries
+ not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032]
+ * MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use
+ Module::Build instead.
+ * Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on
+ VMS. [rt 4675]
+ - For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any
+ existing uses.
+ - Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN).
+ This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616]
+ - realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories
+ wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208]
+ - fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955]
+ - ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS
+ [rt 4687]
+ - hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O
+ contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test
+ mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365]
+ - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on
+ VMS. [rt 4676]
+ - parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs.
+ [rt 5633]
+
+6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003
+ - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of
+ PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed
+ (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger]
+ - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version
+ for backwards compatibility.
+ - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of
+ modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written.
+
+6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003
+ - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we
+ take a more conservative approach.
+ - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows.
+ - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290]
+ - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase]
+ - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing
+ nmake [rt 4285 4301]
+
+6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003
+ - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and
+ teardown the dummy modules as needed.
+ - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set
+ - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR)
+ instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL
+ INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected.
+
+6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003
+ - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich)
+ - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase)
+ * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now
+ fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for
+ $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older
+ Perls.
+ * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds.
+ * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead.
+ - Removed now unused dir_target() method.
+ - Added a little documentation to instmodsh.
+ * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use
+ it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of
+ PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS.
+ * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang)
+ - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake
+ made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2
+ - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix()
+ * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used.
+ * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and
+ open.pm (Autrijus Tang)
+ - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded.
+ * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing.
+ * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a
+ warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml
+ - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims)
+ * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed
+ (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea)
+ * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last
+ November and nobody noticed.
+ - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set
+ by the user.
+ - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories
+ * Documented UNINST=1
+
+6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003
+ - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves)
+ * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so
+ it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found.
+ * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB
+ (Orton Yves)
+ - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others)
+ where a read-only file cannot be deleted.
+ - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates
+ ndbgperl.exe.
+ - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument.
+
+6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003
+ * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old
+ versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS).
+ - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed.
+ [Sreeji K Das]
+ * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP
+ - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel
+ bleadperl@20530)
+ - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to
+ causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180)
+
+6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003
+ - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already
+ installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon)
+
+6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003
+ - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml
+ itself and the metafile documentation.
+ - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the
+ way of users adding code to the manifypods target.
+ - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using
+ it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man
+ installation targets in a backwards compatible way.
+ * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs.
+
+6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003
+ - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester)
+ - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This
+ was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345.
+ - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up.
+
+6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003
+ - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and
+ prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than
+ "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283)
+ - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean"
+ (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this
+ was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't
+ blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied
+ to INST_*.
+ - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking
+ for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a
+ really bizarre way.
+
+6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003
+ - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke
+ - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run
+ twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again.
+ * Noting where to find make in the README
+ * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile
+ on Windows.
+
+6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003
+ * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default
+ always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949]
+ * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which
+ tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL
+ (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's).
+ This appears to be a rather old bug.
+ [rt.cpan.org #2951]
+ * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get
+ stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process
+ of prepending a .. onto it.
+ - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing
+ expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it.
+ * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute.
+ - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep
+ repeating the list all over the code.
+ - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing
+ with DESTDIR set.
+ * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892
+ and part of rt.cpan.org #2954]
+ * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables.
+ installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents
+ the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod.
+ DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954]
+ - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing
+ some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored.
+ - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing
+ internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify
+ when it didn't.
+
+6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003
+ * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB
+ instead of one for each perl, site and vendor.
+ - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back
+ to using multiple -e's.
+ * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS
+ in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped.
+ - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading
+ files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry.
+ - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya)
+ - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous
+ newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to
+ $(ECHO).
+ - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n'
+
+6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003
+ - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in
+ ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug.
+ - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows.
+ - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during
+ the basic.t test on Windows.
+
+6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003
+ * Documenting META.yml, NO_META
+ * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and
+ alter your manifest.
+ * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ
+ - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better.
+ - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry)
+ * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere
+ around 6.06_01.
+ - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install()
+ - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install
+ loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows.
+ - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only
+ (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723)
+ - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the
+ dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747)
+
+6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003
+ - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl]
+ - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic)
+ - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in
+ 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong.
+ * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end
+ of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444]
+ * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from.
+ - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions.
+ - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal)
+ - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic)
+ - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman)
+ - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper)
+ - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper)
+ * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has.
+ 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again.

+ - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/
+
+6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003
+ - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just
+ the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS.
+ - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix}
+ (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared

+ - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions
+ - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1
+ thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there.
+ - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no

+ - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest

+ - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS
+ - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy.
+ - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before.
+ - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(),
+ warn_if_old_packlist().
+ * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS
+ as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S
+ in the first place.
+ * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized!
+ Holdover from exclusive .exists usage.
+ - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO)
+ - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS
+ - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others()
+ - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass.
+ - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line
+ lengths causing it to run over on VMS

+ expansion
+ - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS
+ - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec.
+ - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS
+ can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing.
+ * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with
+ MakeMaker.
+ - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma.
+ - Added compile & POD test
+ * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file.
+ Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build.
+ * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST
+ * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as
+ octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman).
+ - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable
+ [perl #21526]
+
+6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002
+ * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01.
+ * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with
+ shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult.
+ * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to
+ object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and
+ fixpath() work again.
+
+6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002
+ - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for
+ MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl.
+ - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be
+ canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths.
+ MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile().
+ - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags.
+ * Added a PATCHING guideline document.
+ - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES.
+ - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better.
+ - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man
+ rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from
+ MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went
+ away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be
+ using that.
+ - "make manifypods" now works on Win32
+ - "make manifypods" is now be faster
+ - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl

+ - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix.
+ - Fixed PPD generation when the ppd contains quotes (RT1473)
+ - Fixed PPD generation on VMS
+ - Moved Win9x specific subdir_x() code from MM_Unix to MM_Win95
+ * Craig Berry fixed hint files on VMS
+ - Added the perl_onliner() method to generate portable, safe one-liners
+ - Changing hardcoded $self->{MAKEFILE} to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE).
+ * Rafael Garcia-Suarez made MakeMaker ignore Subversion control files
+ by default.
+ - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro.
+ * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS.
+ - Improved DISTNAME docs
+ * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM
+ * Documented dist()
+ - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile,
+ zipdist, zipfile and shdist_target methods. Allows elimination
+ of redundant code in MM_VMS.
+ - Replaced WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST, DOC_INSTALL and UNINSTALL
+ one-liners with ExtUtils::Command::MM functions
+ - Replaced VMS hand-rolled perl code for TOUCH, CHMOD, RM_F and RM_RF
+ with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F.
+ - Adding clean_subdirs target and clean_subdirs_target() method to
+ generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part
+ of the clean target.
+ - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS
+ - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused
+ - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid
+ hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules.
+ - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific
+ macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there.
+ - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros.
+ - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier.
+ - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default
+ target.
+ - Added special_targets() to handle things like .PHONY and make sure
+ they come first.
+ - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros.
+ - MM_MacOS constants() disolves
+ Moved MACPERL_SRC, MACPERL_LIB, MACPERL_INC from init_main() to
+ init_platform().
+ Moved DEFINE and INC tweaking from constants() to init_main()
+ Moved DEFINE_VERSION & XS_DEFINE_VERSION from constants() to
+ init_VERSION().
+ Eliminated MODULES. Unused and its the same as TO_INST_PM
+ Moved .INCLUDE from constants() to special_targets()
+
+ - MM_NW5 constants() & init_others() disolves
+ Moved LIBPTH, BASE_IMPORT, NLM_VERSION, MPKTOOL, TOOLPATH from
+ init_others() to init_platform()
+ Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to
+ init_platform()
+ Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from
+ constants() to init_platform()
+
+ - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet
+ Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods.
+ Added MM_REVISION for completeness
+ Using wraplist() instead of manual joining
+ Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets()
+ Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target()
+ Moved INST_{STATIC,DYNAMIC,BOOT} to init_INST()
+ Moved EXPORT_LIST, PERL_ARCHIVE & PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER to init_linker().
+ Moved PERL_MALLOC_DEF to init_platform()
+
+ - MM_VMS constants() goes on a diet
+ Moved DEFINE from constants() to init_main()
+ Moved OBJECT & LDFROM from constants() to init_others()
+ Moved MM_VMS_REVISION and PERL_VMS to init_platform
+ Added MM_VMS_VERSION
+ Moved DEFINE_VERSION, XS_DEFINE_VERSION and MAKEMAKER changes to
+ init_VERSION
+ Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override.
+ Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}.
+ constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls.
+
+ - MM_Win32 constants() goes away
+ Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override.
+ Everything else was redundant.
+
+ - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for
+ XS builds where the version number is very sensitive.
+ - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated
+ into init_linker().
+ - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION,
+ MM_VMS_VERSION.
+ - Eliminated duplicate code in constants() overrides
+ - Added all_target() for easier customization of what's run by default
+ - Eliminated duplicate top_targets() overrides
+ - Made tool_autosplit() method portable. Moved to MM_Any. Eliminated
+ overrides.
+ - Adding realclean_subdirs target and realclean_subdirs_target()
+ method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an
+ unportable part of the realclean target.
+ - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners.
+ - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part
+ * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.'
+ * prompt() will now read from STDIN.
+ - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS
+ is explicitly set to empty.
+ * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier.
+ * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables.
+ * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former
+ holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the
+ optional override prefix supplied by the user.
+ * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL.
+ This restores "make install PREFIX=foo".
+ - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting.
+ - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms.
+ - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle}
+ - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed.
+ Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later.
+ - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya.
+ - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker.
+ - realclean was duplicating work already done by clean
+ - Adding an explicit LICENSE
+ - Cleaning up ExtUtils::Install docs.
+ - ExtUtils::Install::uninstall() now has default verbose and
+ dont_execute arguments.
+ - Added some basic ExtUtils::Install tests
+ - Fixed ExtUtils::Install::install() for relative dirs
+ - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long
+ commands.
+ - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may
+ be pointless.
+ - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup.
+ - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants
+ - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle
+ bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking.
+
+6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002
+ - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in
+ a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen.

+ - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347)
+ - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347)
+ * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to
+ generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more
+ often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded.
+ - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending
+ diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod
+ * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ
+ - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669)
