Jesse Vincent [Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:45:21 +0000]
Porting/makerel no longer massages win32 files during the final tarball build process

I _believe_ that this change will mean that our shipped tarball will
contain all files exactly as they are in the repo - The only difference
will be in file permissions.

I'm told that git can version the execute bit on files. If I'm feeling
especially adventurous, I may write a porting test to ensure that the
right files (and only the right files?) are marked +x in git and then
remove that bit from Porting/makerel. I wouldn't mind it if someone beat
me to that.

Nicholas Clark [Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:18:32 +0000]
Remove the entry about removing Perl_deprecate()

As a minor C function, I feel that at most it should be in "changed internals".
However, as it was not part of the public API, and searches showed that nothing
was using it, likely nothing is going to break if it goes. And if any naughty
code does break:
a: It will be at link time
b: It will be easy to find the cause from git log

I also feel that it's worth removing it, as existing perldeltas are the most
obvious guide for new volunteers in terms of "write something like this".
So having bad examples isn't going to help educate future authors.
