-
- * lib/CPAN.pm (savehist, CPAN::shell): new config variables
- histfile and histsize control saving and retrieving of history.
-
- * Explain the status of CPAN.pm vs. CPANPLUS.pm in the POD
-
- * Documentation: mention FTP_PASSIVE; courtesy Peter Valdemar
- Mørch
-
-2002-11-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * correct all split commands to use a regex instead of a string.
- Thanks to Rafael Garcia-Suarez for detecting the abuse.
-
-2002-11-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * BUNDLE/Test/{Builder,More}.pm: Strip POD from the two bundled
- modules.
-
-2002-11-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Makefile.PL: Switch to CPAN::MakeMaker for this one experimental
- release. The implications of CPAN::MakeMaker are yet to be
- evaluated. Here I use the "True Bundle" feature to add Test::More
- and Test::Builder and remove the dependency on them.
-
-2002-11-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm (read_mirrored_by): Bill Pollock made me
- aware about simple mistakes that can be avoided in the URL
- selection dialogue (entering URL strings instead of numbers,
- entering leading or trailing whitespace). With a few simple tweaks
- these should be avoided in the future.
-
-2002-10-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * lib/CPAN.pm: the last few patches also fixed accidentally some
- "redefined" warnings during "reload cpan".
-
-2002-09-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Roland Bauer sent me a patch that carefully appended a trailing
- newline to a couple of "mywarn" messages that came without it.
-
- * CPAN::FirstTime::display_some: Change the displayed dialogue to
- make clear that SPACE ENTER is the trick to page through results.
- Correct some indenting and trailing whitespace. Remove some unused
- variables.
-
- * print_ornamented: Newline fix for various Windows systems by
- Roland Bauer
-
-2002-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::FirstTime::init: Catch non-absolute path in cpan_home.
-
-2002-08-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * New version of the cpan script by brian d foy.
-
-2002-07-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing as 1.62.
-
- * cpan: beefed-up cpan script courtesy brian d foy.
-
- * Makefile.PL: deactivate PREREQ_PM for File::Spec in case we are
- running under 5.6.0, otherwise 5.6.0's CPAN.pm would download
- 5.8.0 just for File::Spec.
-
-2002-05-07 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing as 1.61.
-
- * The default WAIT server has got a new domain name:
- ls6-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de
-
- * Protecting against not existing $META->{is_tested} element.
-
-2002-04-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Repackaging, no changes in the code. The reason is that
- search.cpan.org could not grok the format of my ChangeLog file
- which mixed POD and non-POD. Now ChangeLog is POD-free and old
- Changes are in Changes.old. Going to package as 1.60b.
-
-2002-04-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Change the quoting in system command for Windows systems. Thanks
- to Alessandro Forghieri <alf at orion dot it> for the report.
-
- * merge with bleadperl
-
-2001-06-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Typo Frontent->Frontend in three places. Thanks to Rich Williams
- for spotting.
-
-2001-05-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * manpage_headline: fixed the NAME parsing regular expression to
- ignore headlines that just start with NAME. Thanks to Jost Krieger
- for spotting.
-
-2001-05-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Bundle::look: disable the look command on bundles. Till
- now it meant to recursively look into all members. This could be
- time-consuming and even hard to interrupt. As I know nothing else
- one could expect from look(Bundle), I decided to disable it
- completely.
-
-2001-04-xx Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Do not remember exact date: Applied a patch by Gisle Aas to
- replace MD5 by Digest::MD5.
-
-2001-02-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing as 1.59_54.
-
- * CPAN::Tarzip::TIEHANDLE: Applied a patch by Robin Barker
- <rmb1@cise.npl.co.uk> about a wrong error message ("Could pipe"
- instead of "Could not pipe")
-
-2001-02-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Index::rd_modpacks: Add a stalenes warning if the index
- file is older than 30 days. Thanks to "tanbin"
- <tiger40490@yahoo.com> for the report.
-
- * To improve the protection against stale mirrors, add a global
- for $CPAN::Index::DATE_OF_02 to keep track of the currently used
- index. This is also stored in the cache. It will be printed as a
- reminder whenever a fetch fails and whenever the metadata are
- retrieved from the index file or via Storable.
-
-2001-01-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Author::as_glimpse): added email address
-
- * CPAN::Shell::a: uppercasing any argument broke experimental
- advanced query. Made conditional on the existence of an equal sign
- now.
-
-2000-12-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * POD: add a description of the ls command.
-
- * Improve documentation of support for authenticated proxies.
-
- * CPAN::Bundle::contains: Bail out if there is no inst_file and
- cpan_file eq "N/A". Old code would have tried to download N/A.
-
-2000-12-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * normalize: Fix bug with "Strange distribution name" if it is
- "Contact Author..."
-
-2000-12-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::LWP::UserAgent: new class to customize proxy
- authentication. Thanks to David C Worenklein for a working
- implementation that I could use as a basis.
-
-2000-12-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * manpage: Added a pointer to the Japanese translation.
-
-2000-12-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * FAQ: While working on the FAQ mirroring item, I discovered that
- we need a mirror command because "get" unwraps the tarfiles as a
- side effect, which is not nice. Mirror() will do nothing if source
- is a "file:" URL. It will probably understand force to override
- that. It will copy to ~/.cpan/sources but leave the file unopened
- and untouched. Backed out the FAQ item until we have that fixed.
-
-2000-12-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::normalize: Did not work correctly for
- authors that have subdirectories in their CPAN directory. Was
- counting slashes, am now also checking against a regexp.
-
- * cpl: make completion work with "get".
-
- * CPAN::Shell::ls: Reject arguments not matching [A-Z\-] to
- prevent /.../ expansion which neither worked nor is considered
- useful.
-
- * CPAN::Shell::h: include ls command
-
- * variable naming: rename $date_of_03 and $last_time to uppercase
- counterparts. Globals must stand out visually.
-
- * FAQ: Adding "How do I set up a local CPAN mirror that does not
- contain things I'm not interested in?". Thanks to Paul Moore for
- asking the question (but see above, the article was removed for
- further consideration on 2000-12-13)
-
- * CPAN::Author::id: add a sanity check, first letter must be A-Z
-
-2000-12-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::look: Protect against empty $dir and use
- safe_chdir instead of chdir.
-
-2000-12-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * get: finished the treatment of the NFS racing condition that
- motivated many of the recent changes in get(). Thanks for
- reporting and heavy testing to Steffen Beyer.
-
- * Releasing as 1.59_51.
-
- * normalize: protect against the case when normalize is called
- without argument.
-
- * Thanks to Jeremy Wadsack who read the first sketch of the
- documentation of the programmer's interface and provided helpful
- comments and additions.
-
- * Declaring 1.58_93 as 1.59 and releasing as such to have a stable
- baseline again. 1.58_93 had been integrated into the development
- track of 5.7.0 with patch 7737 on 2000/11/18.
-
-2000-11-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::get: removed a special case that was never
- documented and apparently never worked: when keep_source_where
- matched /^no/, we tried to delete the source again after an
- installation.
-
- * POD: documented expandany
-
- * CPAN::Bundle::inst_file: now takes the newest Bundle definition
- file it finds within @INC and ~/.cpan/Bundle/. Sets INST_VERSION
- as side effect. CPAN::Bundle::inst_version calls inst_file.
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::uptodate: New method.
-
- * CPAN::Bundle::uptodate: New method. Thanks to Jeremy Wadsack who
- discovered that an uptodate method for Bundles was missing.
-
- * POD: Wrote at least the headlines for all public methods to make
- a second step at opening CPAN.pm for programmers.
-
-2000-11-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Admin (CPAN::Shell::register): opened for XML, Tk, and Apache.
-
- * CPAN::Author::ls: include the author's ID in the listing to make
- copy&paste easier.
-
- * normalize: Allowed the special case "N/A ..." for bundles.
-
- * CPAN::Complete::cpl: made completion for bundles work on install
- et al.
-
- * localize: Encountered a C<Can't locate object method "new" via
- package "LWP::UserAgent"> although has_usable returned true. Could
- not find out the reason, so I wrapped it into an eval.
-
-2000-11-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Sending as 1.58_94 to Steffen, no release to avoid confusion.
-
- * Due to a bug report by Steffen Beyer I added a whole lot of
- debugging statements to get in the hope, I can find a reason why
- his copy misbehaves under 5.00503.
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::get: Fixed indenting in get(). Added $! to
- the error messages there.
-
-
-2000-11-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::FirstTime::conf_sites: Added the option to download a
- MIRRORED.BY immediately even if the local one seems fresh enough.
-
- * POD: Lots of fixes spotted by John P. Linderman
-
-2000-11-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Fixed an incompatibility with 5.00503 discovered by Ask B.
- Hansen.
-
-2000-11-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm: MyConfig/Config buglet during
- site-picking and more verbosity for selecting good arguments for
- make (Thanks to Larry Virden for the report)
-
- * print_ornamented: Made shell output ornamenting dependent on a
- global variable $CPAN::Shell::PRINT_ORNAMENTING. It is and will
- stay a rarely used feature, so a global to turn it on and off
- seems appropriate. For the record: this does not do anything but
- colorize STDOUT and STDERR differently for debugging if all
- messages are wrapped correctly.
-
-2000-11-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Admin: Made the machine name of PAUSE a constant.
-
-2000-11-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * rematein: Enable dump of Author objects (was the useless silly
- message)
-
- * Two (temporary) global variables introduced:
- $CPAN::Tarzip::BUGHUNTING enables naughty code that may help track
- some bugs in Archive::Tar (already reported to SRZ). And
- $CPAN::Shell::ADVANCED_QUERY turns on a form of the query like
- C<m userid=RFOLEY> or
- C<m userid=~FOL> or
- C<d cpan_userid=RFOLEY>
-
- But this syntax is highly experimental and WILL change, do not
- rely on it.
-
-2000-11-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Module::userid: change to mean either CPAN_USERID from
- 02modules or userid from 03modlist. Up to now it only meant the
- latter. As both are always identical, we could save some space by
- renaming CPAN_USERID to userid. --> Todo
-
-2000-11-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Complete::cpl: Make completion work for locally installed
- bundles on the first try, not just the second.
-
- * CPAN::Complete::cpl: Make completion for authors work even when
- lowercase was typed in so far.
-
- * releasing as 1.58_90
-
- * CPAN::Module::name: was an alias for &cpan_file. That made the m
- command slow without any visible advantage. C<m /html-tree/> used
- to find the modules in the distribution HTML-Tree-XXX and now
- doesn't anymore. But this is misfeature as we have both <d
- /html-tree/> and <i /html-tree/> for that.
-
- * cpan_file: Fixed a bug that could instantiate an empty Author
- object.
-
-2000-11-07 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * format_result: Add a summary line at the end how many items in
- the set.
-
- * print_ornamented: Moved the special-case for fullname to
- print-ornamented to be prepared for other UTF-8 fields besides
- fullname (Try with C<m Sub::Curry>)
-
-2000-11-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Released as 1.58_57
-
- * CPAN::Shell::ls: I believe, ls is now fully functional, but it
- still needs some work on PAUSE to be perceived as bugfree. Thu
- left undocumented (but it's already useful as it is, even
- completion works; if you're interested: give it only authors as
- arguments).
-
- * CPAN::shell: Detect parse errors when Text::ParseWords fails
- without die()ing, like in C<d Documentum's>.
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::normalize: Try A/AC/ACALPINI/foo when the
- user says ACALPINI/foo. I have only tested for the C<rematein>
- family and the C<d> command so far. Need to find all places where
- the normalization is needed.
-
- * CPAN::Module::as_string: improved manpage parsing on files with
- CRLF in them.
-
-2000-11-04 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing as 1.58_56.
-
- * CPAN::Shell::local_bundles: Did not discover local bundle files
- if they were nested. Thanks to Ask B. Hansen for the report.
-
- * CPAN::Shell::ls: Started work on an ls command. Left
- undocumented because not yet finished. Needs mtime in CHECKSUMS
- file.
-
- * localize: Improved messaging when we try to download a
- compressed file instead of an uncompressed.
-
- * o conf: Made C<o conf -Module> to mean remove Module debugging
- from the current debugging settings. Handy when you turn on "all"
- and discover that Module is too noisy.
-
-2000-10-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * FAQ about readline: Thanks to Joseph Kewish
- <jkewish@thedrag.com> who knew the correct answer.
-
-2000-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * untar: again change preference to tag+gzip to hunt down a bug in
- Archive::Tar.
-
- * Admin's register: Forgive when URI::Escape isn't installed yet
- and let it be installed while we're running.
-
-2000-10-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing snapshot as 1.58_55.
-
- * CPAN::Admin::register: do not run a get if the command line
- already contains more than one arguments.
-
-2000-10-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Added documentation for CPAN::shell and term_is_latin.
-
- * CPAN::Author::fullname: convert to latin1 if
- $CPAN::Config->{term_is_latin} is set to true.
-
- * CPAN::Module::as_glimpse and CPAN::Shell::_u_r_common: enabled
- coloring of module names that are already registered in the module
- list. This feature bloat will have to go away in a future version,
- but for a while it might prove useful. The diffs between RCS 1.361
- and 1.362 should then be applied reversed. The feature bloat is
- only visible when the global $CPAN::Shell::COLOR_REGISTERED is
- set, no visible changes are made otherwise.
-
- * Added CPAN::Admin in an extra file. The subclass is for CPAN
- admins only. For others it is an instructive programming example.
- I consider the programming environment still alpha and need
- feedback on its usefulness. E.g. I consider it ugly that
- CPAN::Shell::expand and CPAN::instance have such a B<slightly>
- different interface. I hate it that testing C<$m->{RO}{something}>
- creates the RO slot. I'm unsure what one could make easier when
- expand() returns a list of objects instead of a single object.
-
- * cpl: made CPAN::Complete::cpl more flexible by assigning all
- commands to the global @COMMANDS and offering a fallback for the
- second word to modules and bundles when an unknown command is
- entered. CPAN::Admin takes advantage of this feature.
-
-2000-10-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * shell: The C<$term||=> change of 2000-10-20 broke the
- re-detection of ReadLine for fresh installations. Fixed that again
- so that both ways are possible: disposing the Stub interface and
- re-using an interface that is better than Stub.
-
-2000-10-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::shell: Now takes two arguments, one is the prompt, the
- second is the default initial command line.
-
- * Released this snapshot as 1.58_51
-
- * hosthard: applied a patch by Michael Dean
- <sysmwd@blackhole.detir.qld.gov.au> to support wget.
-
-2000-10-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::containsmods: Did not return a value, now
- returns the contained modules
-
- * CPAN::Distribution::get: chdir back to initial CWD
-
- * CPAN::anycwd: new routine replaces all occurrences of replicated
- two-line code
-
- * shell: chdir-ing back to initial directory at end of CPAN::shell
-
- * CPAN::exists: added a config loader because everything depends
- on it. Will have to identify other places that need it.
-
- * shell: Assignment of a readline interface to term now is a "||="
- rather than a "=" in case somebody calls shell multiple times.
-
- * Moved the call to read_metadata_cache from shell to
- CPAN::Index::reload so that (1) it isn't called so early and (2)
- programmers can enjoy its availability too.
-
- * CPAN::Config::commit: die when you can't write the config file.
- We did only warn, but it is more frustrating to repeatedly get the
- same questions asked than to get at least a good error message.
- Will have to catch some error conditions earlier.
-
-2000-10-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Module::as_string: up to now the MANPAGE attribute was
- only generated for installed modules. Now we try to read the
- manpage headline if a get has been issued so that a build_dir
- exists. This is helpful for exploring CPAN without installing
- anything, e.g. when you have no or only slow access to a WAIT
- server.
-
- * Releasing as 1.58
-
-2000-10-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * FAQ: two new FAQ items added: autobundle and readline
-
-2000-10-07 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Setting Version to 1.57_68RC
-
- * POD: numbering FAQ items; rewording of FAQ item 6 about bundles;
- introduced FAQ item 7 about CPAN::Site.
-
- * CPAN::FirstTime::init: Making cache_metadata default to 1.
-
- * missing_config_data: Making cache_metadata a reason to rerun
- configuration.
-
-2000-09-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::DESTROY: Protected the call to $gz->gzclose with an if
- defined $gz. Thanks to abigail for reporting the bug, apologies
- that I'm also not sure if this fixes the cause, or just the
- sympton.
-
- * has_inst: 2nd warning for not having installed Net::FTP
- silencified with a global (Thanks to Anno Siegel for the
- suggestion)
-
-2000-09-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * 1.57_67 is a release candidate.
-
- * FirstTime: rewording of the intro for the cache_metadata feature
- from experimental to beta. Leaving default to off. As it is still
- turned off, I do not add the feature to the "necessary" features
- in sub missing_config_data. Will do so when default changes to on.
-
- * untar: for running the pipe, the external programs gzip and tar
- are OK to use but for a pure uncompress I prefer to use our own
- method gunzip for maximum code reuse (fallback to external gzip is
- there anyway) and less use of system().
-
- * hosthard: after Jost has approved that the code now is much more
- defensive against the install-an-inexistent-distribution errors,
- now the funkyftp programs are disallowed to process C<file> URLs
- at all.
-
-2000-09-12 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * get: userid "anon" if cpan_userid does not provide one.
-
- * 1.57_66 for the sole purpose of testing the error provoked by
- the old lynx version. Next version will disable lynx for file:
- URLs and thus will doubly guard against the bug.
-
- * untar and gtest: enabled gtest with Compress::Zlib again, now
- with a test if the file size and buffer size are equal. In that
- case gtest returns false. untar now also uses gtest ahead of
- decompression to catch the error condition provoked by
-
- DB<5> x system "echo -n | /bin/tar xvf -"
- 0 0
-
- The fact that tar returns TRUE on zero byte input could lead us to
- believe that we were doing a successful untar while in reality we
- had an uncompressed file that was completely bogus.
-
- Once again a big thank you to Jost Krieger who discovered this bug
- by feeding an inexistent distribution name to install() while he
- had an old version of lynx installed that did not discover the
- mistake and created the file as textfile containing an error
- message.
-
-2000-09-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * gtest: disabled Compress::Zlib because it seems to offer no
- method to test if a file is compressed or not. If a file was not
- compressed, it happily treats it "as expected" setting no error. I
- was so sure that I tested this when it was introduced. We really
- need a test harness.
-
- * get: New instance variable had_no_makefile_pl
-
- * get: New instance variable was_uncompressed to later use it for
- heuristics if we're on the wrong track.
-
- * If we write a Makefile.PL on our own, we now choose the NAME
- parameter more carefully.
-
- * Ask user if he wants to proceed if the CHECKSUM file does not
- contain data about a downloded file.
-
- * hosthard: Skip "file" URLs
-
- * hosthardest: eliminated unused code for is_reachable
-
-2000-09-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Tarball 1.57_65 (63 and 64 were not uploaded because I found
- errors during testing)
-
- * Bundle::inst_file: cleanup
-
- * unsat_prereq: decision to accept any installed version if
- PREREQ_PM says 0 or "undef" or undef.
-
- * follow_prereqs: broke this new method out of make because I want
- to repeat it in test. Repeating the check in test has the
- advantage that the user is reminded in time that still some prereq
- is missing.
-
-2000-09-09 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Tarball 1.57_63.
-
- * rd_modpacks: do not let bundles be both bundles and modules
- anymore. Seems like memory bloat without any value.
-
- * reload: $last_time was set too early to a new value. It seems to
- have never manifested itself as a bug, but we now do the more
- correct localizing of the newer timestamp until we have read all
- three index files and then set the timestamp globally.
-
- * reload and read_metadata_cache: extend the index protocol to
- memory so that whenever a new protocol is introduced, the index
- gets loaded into memory asap.
-
- * instance vs set: moved the code that creates the RO pointer from
- instance to set and commenting the set method to have this side
- effect. This was the cause for a very difficult to diagnose bug.
- Thanks to Jost Krieger for discovering wrong content in Metadata.
-
-2000-09-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * read_metadata_cache: More sanity checks.
-
- * _u_r_common: Added informational message about the number of
- matches in the database.
-
- * checklock: Checking $fh for undef. Thanks to
- Slaven Rezic for the report.

-2000-09-06 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * lib/CPAN.pm (expandany): Distributions always had the habit to
- spring into existence, that means, people could say
-
- test A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.57_60.tar.gz
-
- and got that thing downloaded if it existed on CPAN. Jost
- discovered this was broken. Fixed by replacing an expand() by
- instance() for distributions in expandany.
-
-2000-09-05 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * undelay: After a jumpqueue we must not continue because success
- is unlikely. We set $self->{later} and the queuerunner calls
- undelay.
-
- * Bundle::inst_file: reviewed the code after Jost pointed out that
- it was suspectly formatted. Re-enabled the newer, better code that
- allows for multi-level Bundle package names.
-
- * Distribution::install: improved wording for the case where make
- failed (Thanks To Jost Krieger for spotting)
-
- * Bundle::as_string: CONTAINS was rendered as ARRAY(...)
-
- * expandany: added a scan for bundles as one could not install
- bundles immediately after program start but only after a "b"
- command (Thanks to Jost Krieger for the bugreport)
-
- * color_cmd_tmps: protection against deep recursion with a panic
- message.
-
- * expand: temporary introduced the "=" hack to eval code on the
- command line repeatedly. Now disabled again to prevent surprise.
- But as a reminder, I did run this command successfully before
- disabling:
-
- cpan> m '=length($self->id)==16 && substr($self->id,12,2) eq "::"'
- Module Bundle::HTML::EP (N/A)
- Module Games::Cards::Tk (A/AK/AKARGER/Games-Cards-1.45.tar.gz)
- Module Games::Worms::PS (S/SB/SBURKE/Games-Worms-0.61.tar.gz)
- Module Games::Worms::Tk (S/SB/SBURKE/Games-Worms-0.61.tar.gz)
- Module Lingua::Stem::En (S/SN/SNOWHARE/Lingua-Stem-0.40.tar.gz)
-
- * color_cmd_tmps: we're now coloring all objects when they enter
- the queue and we uncolor them when a command is finished. We just
- need a hook now to check if we really uncolored them all. What
- should the hook be? i ="$self->{incommandcolor}>0"
-
-2000-09-04 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * color_cmd_tmps: rename the method reset_badtestcnt to
- color_cmd_tmps because it turns out to be the right place to reset
- sponsored_mods and maybe install_failed too, and if we mark them
- as dirty when used and as clean when reset, we might even succeed
- to have a tidy kitchen.
-
- * untar: backed out the preference towards Archive::Tar. It seems
- from reports I get and one hiccups I witnessed myself that
- Archive::Tar is not stable (sorry, no bugreport available). With
- the current state of CPAN.pm we cannot afford the additional risk
- from an external source.
-
- * Queue: backed out the change from string based queue to object
- based queue. I made some mistakes during transition and everything
- stopped working. This seemed the easiest way out.
-
- * reset_testcnt: introduced attribute badtestcnt for Modules,
- Bundles, and Distributions and method reset_badtestcnt to get rid
- of that counter before and after a command. During the command we
- inc the counter on unsuccessful make test commands. But we do not
- reset unknown dependencies. During 'make test' we up this counter
- if test fails and consequently do not repeat the testing. This
- should now safe much time if, say LWP tests fail and we have all
- of WWW::RobotRules, File::Listing, LWP, HTTP::Negotiate,
- HTML::Form, and LWP::Simple in a Bundle or reach the stuff via a
- dependency. Former versions would have repeated the testing ad
- nauseam. We now refuse on the second occasion and the user may be
- required to run something to finish building.
-
- * prereq_pm: split of method needs_prereq into unsat_prereq_pm and
- prereq_pm and letting the prereq_pm be stored in the object
-
- * cpl: added readme and dump to the list of supported keywords for
- completion
-
- * POD: documented the dump command in the debugging section of the
- manpage. Simplified the debugging section.
-
- * changed queue to work with objects instead of object IDs
- making it more natural to deal with them. Having the string
- representation there bit me several times in the past. At the same
- time shuffled some code from the queue-running loop to the
- queue-constructing loop thus catching errors before starting to
- work on the queue.
-
- * renamed dotdot_onreload to paintdots_onreload. Changed $redef
- from global to lexical.
-
- * lib/CPAN.pm (dump): made dump more userfriendly by adding a
- print statement, it is now a regular command to type C<dump
- Net::FTP>. But still left undocumented to augment comments from
- those who read the ChangeLog (That's you:)
-
-2000-09-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * heavy re-structuring of Metadata in memory with high potential
- for breakage. All metadata are now split into a readonly and a
- read-write part and all objects have a pointer to the readonly
- part. The Metadata cache logic stores only the readonly part, so
- that no session-specific data will ever be found again in a future
- session.
-
- * AUTOLOAD: removed the autoloader support that was never used and
- seems not very intersting anymore with today's hardware. RCS: 1.325
-
- * removed all the %vd comments.
-
- * shortened all lines longer than 80 characters to make future
- patches better readable.
-
- * read_metadata_cache: Introduced protocol version number for
- Metadata.
-
- * removing a 'no strict' around the shell loop I do not recall the
- reason of.
-
- * lib/CPAN.pm: Folding two occurrances of use vars into one.
-
-2000-09-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * lib/CPAN.pm (readable): After release spotted en error in the
- FAQ about not being root. Improved it a little, added another FAQ
- and gave it the VERSION 1.57_57.
-
- * Releasing as 1.57_56 as candidate for 5.7.0
-
- * missing_config_data and FirstTime: declared cache_metadata as
- not yet stable enough to turn it on per default. The reason is
- that I want the official external data from CPAN and the generated
- internal data from the current session clearly separated and this
- will take another working session that I cannot provide before
- 5.7.0.
-
-2000-08-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * POD: Added two FAQs about not being root and about the look
- command.
-
- * Replaced all backticks that were misused in documentation or
- dialogs as pretty left quotes by single ticks. I think it was
- Markus Kuhn who said so.
-
- * float2vv: added conversion of float to visible v-string for
- comparisons. Added some tests too.
-
- * MD5_check_file: Now die instead of print when the MD5 checksum
- mismatches.
-
- * untar and unzip: preferring Archive::Tar now that it works
- again. Adding extra security check by testing for absolute path
- and updir.
-
- * unzip_me: made it symmetrical to untar_me and added a few Signal
- checkers to both.
-
- * hosteasy/hard/hardest: now checking for $Signal and giving up in
- several places within the download loop. Thanks for the suggestion
- to Johan Vromans. I'd be ready to ask a question where to continue
- but it turns out to need careful wording because the loop is
- deeply nested: method, host, and within the methods LWP/Net::FTP
- or lynx/ncftpget/ncftp. Simple wording might cause more grief than
- just giving up.
-
- * localize: now setting $ENV for proxies if config has values for
- them. Thanks for the bugreport to Johan Vromans.
-
- * checklock: changed comment in the code
-
-2000-08-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Applied 2 doc patches by Elaine and Jarkko.
-
- * Call to force now wants a first argument and this was not there.
- This was the reason why force DIST didn't work. Thanks to Jost
- Krieger for the bugreport.
-
- * install /xyz/ always needlessly went down the wrong path of
- trying to download "/xyz/". We're now catching this mistake
- earlier. Thanks to Jost Krieger for he idea.
-
- * changed the messages on a failure of make in test and install
- from "Oops" to something much more certifying. Thanks to Jost
- Krieger for the idea.
-
- * in vcmp short circuit for equality for speedup. Thanks to Jost
- Krieger for the idea.
-
-2000-08-27 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing as 1.57_53 without enough testing in the hope that I
- can test more the next days and maybe others can test a little.
-
- * CPAN::Distribution did not handle the force_update attribute
- correctly: it was never reset to false. Tried to fix that at the
- end of sub install and by limiting the scope of the force_update
- attribute to install, not to make anymore. Thirdly, the places
- where we leave the make, test or install by means of the signal
- handler, we also reset force.
-
- * Added a test for CPAN::Version::vcmp.
-
- * lib/CPAN/FirstTime.pm (init): corrected spelling (Thanks to Ask
- B. Hansen)
-
-2000-08-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * rd_modpacks: track deletes on every reread, otherwise the
- metadatacache won't forget a thing ever.
-
- * Fixing Distribution->clean which was broken in that it set
- "force_update" leading to a mess when the user later tried to
- build this dist again. Thanks to Jost Krieger for spotting this.
-
- * Minor cleanups
-
- * CPAN::Version::readable now picks the head of the string
-
- * Storable::store => nstore. Thanks to Tim Jenness for the hint
-
-2000-08-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Detected code duplication in CPAN::Shell::o and
- CPAN::Config::edit. Moved everything to CPAN::Config::prettyprint
-
- * Introduced package CPAN::Version which fixed and extended the
- support for v-strings. Old perls should not be affected at all and
- new perls should be protected against broken displays. New perls
- should also "do the right thing" as soon as the index files write
- "v1.0" for the literal v1.0 . Seems now feature-complete to me.
- Next thing to do is upgrade PAUSE and see what happens.
-
- * Applied a patch by Slaven Rezic to allow cacheing of the
- metadata from the index files via Storable.
-
-2000-08-16 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Fixed numerous chdir that were not checked for success.
-
-2000-08-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Thought about v-strings and their impact. Marked the relevant
- places in the code with "%vd" and applied some more or less simple
- changes to try a few things out. See Todo for a few memo
- sentences. At least diagnostics.pm is now reported fine as 1.0
- again.
-
- * Added support for Archive::Zip. The less external programs
- needed the better (?)
-
-2000-08-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Changed all occurrences of $ in regular expressions to (?!\n)\Z
- which is a 5.004-save equivalent of \z. Thus patch 5406 to the
- perl core is re-integrated after it had been thrown out on
- 2000-03-25.
-
- * isa_perl logic was duplicated in CPAN::Distribution::isa_perl
- and in CPAN::Shell::_binary_extensions. Made the latter use the
- former. Also extended the Distribution object with CPAN_COMMENT
- that can be set from the "02..." index file. If that comment
- matches /isa_perl\(.+?\)/, then it is a perl and $1 is the
- version.
-
-2000-08-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Quick bugfix release 1.56. Thanks to Bruce Barnett <barnett
- birch.crd.ge.com> who showed me that I had forgotten debugging
- statements in the CPAN::Module::inst_version method reminding me
- also that unpatched 5.6.0 still produces warnings where it
- shouldn't. A quick fix is in and I release that as 1.56
- immediately.
-
-2000-07-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Made completion output for a,b,d,m sorted. I have no idea when
- this sorting was lost or if it ever was there.
-
- * Set version number to 1.55 and going to release today or
- tomorrow after testing.
-
- * o conf was not prepared for hash refs.
-
- * Fixed propagation of error report during Bundle installation.
- Until now recursive bundles reported each bundle's faiures
- separately. Now callers in addition report what called bundles
- reported. This still doesn't seem perfect because the report can
- come too early but at least it is better now than it was and if
- one reruns the install command on a bundle, the report will be
- correct on the second run.
-
-2000-07-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Applied a patch by Daniel Muiño <dmuino@afip.gov.ar> that was
- submitted to p5p where a my($msg) declaration was conditional.
-
- * Applied a patch by Anno Siegel who encountered a rarely seen bug
- in the download logic wrt. gzipped vs. not gzipped downloads. He
- cleaned up the variable names too in that area and I cleaned some
- more variable names after him. I believe, the variable names there
- were really inappropriate/misleading.
-
- * Following a suggestion by Michael G. Schwern, I made "ask" the
- default for prerequisites_policy. The old default of "follow"
- seemed to intimidate some new users, he said, and I agree, the
- default should be as little intrusive as possible while still
- being useful. "ask" seems the right choice for a first time user.
-
-2000-06-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Replaced the undocumented old semantics of
- C<$CPAN::Dontload{"Compress::Zlib"} = undef;> in favor of the more
- natural C<$CPAN::Config->{"dontload_hash"}{"Compress::Zlib"} = 1;>
- and documented that.
-
- * Eliminated all occurrances of E<39> in the POD because
- pod2html has a bug that mistreats them and we do not really
- need them. Thanks to Daniel S. Lewart for reporting his.
-
-2000-06-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * The "a" command now always converts its arguments to uppercase.
-
-2000-06-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Introduced has_usable which is pickier than has_inst. Thanks to
- a report by Ian Phillipps who reported the Net::FTP/Net::Config
- connection: e.g. upgrading the processor deprecates Net::Config
- but not Net::FTP.
-
- * Applied a patch by Ben Tilly that changed the exception of
- isa_perl in CPAN::Distribution::make() from dying to warning so
- that bundles can continue if they contain core modules.
-
-2000-04-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Thanks to "Magnus Ullberg" <mullberg@hotmail.com> who reported
- that configuring lynx with arguments actually works, so I
- documented it in the firewall section.
-
-2000-03-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Change ${DISTVNAME} to $(DISTVNAME) in the Makefile.PL because
- nmake can't deal with the former. Thanks to David P. Mott
- <dpmott@sep.com> for the report.
-
-2000-03-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Change all \z back to $ because \z is not in perl5.004_05.
- Thanks to Paul Schinder <schinder@pobox.com> for the report.
- Update: Later Ronald Kimball posted the better solution to P5P. He
- said "'\z' is equivalent to '(?!\n)\Z' and '\Z(?!\n)', which
- should work under 5.004."
-
-2000-03-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Both Andrew Speer <andrew.speer@isolutions.com.au> and Michael
- G. Schwern <schwern@pobox.com> sent me a patch to the effect that
- version numbers in PREREQ_PM are honoured. Till now we installed
- the newest version for all PREREQ_PMs. I applied a mishmash of the
- two patches.
-
-2000-03-20 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Found bug in the changes made on 03-14, the return value of
- &CPAN::Config::edit must be true.
-
-2000-03-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * lib/CPAN.pm: no lib "."; since we do a lot of chdirs *and* do a
- lot of demand-loading, we need to prune the current directory. I
- wonder how everything could work so smoothely with the default
- INC path.
-
-2000-03-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Editing the $CPAN::Config hashref had always tried to keep the
- type of hash values but that was errorprone. Switched to matching
- /list\z/ in the key instead.
-
- * Changing the urllist now triggers resetting of Thesite and
- Themethod. Maybe this needs a more general solution that resets
- any cache of any variable, but for testing the effect, I start
- with these two.
-
-2000-03-11 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Added an FAQ section to the manpage. First 2 Fs deal with
- UNINST=1.
-
-2000-03-10 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Updated the isa_perl checks to match 5.6.0 style.
-
- * The 02modules... file is now verified against its Line-Count
- header. The other index files need new headers to verify them.
-
- * Without any net access we did not make it through the
- configuration dialog. Fixed now.
-
- * Apply patches 4416, 4419, 5406 and 5409 from perl-5.6.0
- candidate.
-
-2000-01-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Releasing 1.52 which is a pure bugfix release. New functionality
- is there but not used or not documented. Should be very stable.
-
-2000-01-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Added a CPAN::Distribution::containsmods method that lists all
- modules within a distribution.
-
- * reload index now removes the whole old index. No, wait a minute,
- that's stupid. We want to keep session info. This is just a
- temporary measure to improve debugging. What we need is "wipe
- index" or some such and we need it for debugging only. [Backed out]
-
- * Text::Wrapping output of "o debug".
-
- * Fixed an uninitialized warning in CPAN::Shell::expand()
-
- * Protected call to close() in DESTROY with "if defined".
-
- * Allow "#" comments in a bundle definition section.
-
- * Text::Wrapping bundle install summary.
-
-2000-01-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Overhauled the help page that gets output on "h", documented
- "get", undocumented "install r", it never worked (Thanks to Peder
- Stray <pederst@ifi.uio.no> for spotting)
-
- * ncftpget made to work again by changing directory before
- downloading (spotted aeons ago by Jarkko Hietaniemi)
-
-1999-12-31 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Applied a patch by Paul Schinder <schinder@pobox.com> which
- corrects the computation of disk usage on the Mac.
-
-1999-12-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Increased 30 to 60 in FirstTime where we "protect" against old
- MIRRORED.BY files and protect against endless loop if MIRRORED.BY
- remains older. Thanks for spotting the bug to James P. Goltz
- <goltz@nfr.net>.
-
- * Applied patch from Doug MacEachern that implements cvs_import
- without documentation.
-
-1999-10-26 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Joe Schell <jschell@peakss.com> sent me a fix that disabled
- processing of bundles on NT.
-
-1999-10-15 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Fixed a typo reported by Stas Bekman <sbekman@iil.intel.com>
-
-1999-10-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Added a posting by Larry as a comment to rethink use of
- $SIG{__DIE__}
-
-1999-08-01 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Applied a patch by 1999-06-13 Adrian Aichner
- <aichner@ecf.teradyne.com>
- (hosthardest): Initialize $netrcfile with $netrc->netrc.
- (untar): Attempt piping gzip output to tar irregardless of
- $OSNAME. Run commands separately in case of error.
-
- * Applied a patch from Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>
- for unbuffering STDOUT and STDERR to get sane behavior in pipes.
-
-1999-07-30 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Fixed a floating point issue that came up with DBD::ADO. See
- stringify comment in CPAN::Module::inst_version. Thanks to Lupe
- Christoph <lupe@lupe-christoph.de> and Michael G. Schwern
- <schwern@pobox.com> for the reports and Tim Bunce
- <Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk> for the suggestion how to fix.
-
- * Fixed my email address in the manpage
-
-1999-07-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * CPAN::Nox was broken, probably since 5.005's new AUTOLOAD
- behavior. Thanks to Marc Lehmann <pcg@goof.com> for the report.
-
-1999-05-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * The force pragma no longer removes its record of prerequisites
- that it has already dealt with. This removes a potential for
- infinite loops when force is in effect.
-
- * Added a CPAN::InfoObj::dump method that can be used like so:
- ! print expand("Distribution","JWIED/DBD-CSV-0.1021.tar.gz")->dump
- or
- ! print expand("Module","DBD::CSV")->dump
- Not particularly userfriendly, thus left undocumented.
-
- * Added a check if Makefile.PL really wrote a Makefile.
-
-1999-05-22 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Applied another patch by Ilya for return value of gzreadline
- with regard to -1: <19990522144647.A15778@monk.mps.ohio-state.edu>
-
- * Applied Ilya's patch for MD5_check_file for READ returning -1.
-
-1999-05-08 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Improved error message if cpan_home can't be created (bug report
- by Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>)
-
-1999-04-19 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@anima.de>
-
- * Added a note about the correct format of file URLs
-
- * Added documentation to CPAN.pm for how to write cronjobs that
- watch The CPAN (thanks to Brian Moseley <ix@cp.net> for asking)
-
- * FirstTime: initialize urllist to be an empty array, because
- otherwise it could accidentally become a string
-
- * Renamed Changes file to ChangeLog and switched format to
- emacsens ChangeLog format
