1 Revision history for local::lib
3 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
4 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
13 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
14 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
15 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
16 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
18 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
19 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
21 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
26 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
28 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
30 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
31 with C<--self-contained>.
35 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
37 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
41 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
42 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
45 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
47 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
51 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
52 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
53 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
54 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
55 wouldn't work without a directory.
58 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
59 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
60 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
64 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
65 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
67 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
70 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
71 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
72 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
73 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
74 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
75 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
76 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
77 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
80 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
81 blessed entries. (grink)
82 - Include test in xt/ for the above
84 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
85 archlibexp when self contained.
86 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
87 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
88 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
89 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
90 respects it. (confound)
93 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
94 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
95 programmatically (confound).
97 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
100 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
101 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
103 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
104 bootstrapping (confound).
107 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
108 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
110 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
114 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
115 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
118 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
119 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
122 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
123 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
124 in local::lib::import().
127 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
128 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
131 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
132 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
135 - refactored shell command generation
136 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
138 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
