1 Revision history for local::lib
3 1.008025 2013-11-01 (development release, unindexed)
4 - fix install test on cygwin
5 - fix stackable test on win32 and when external local::lib is set
6 - clarify errors in Makefile.PL about CPAN configuration
7 - adjust csh output to allow use directly by eval
8 - silence a possible warning in Makefile.PL
9 - add additional docs about combining local::lib with lib::core::only
10 - reverse order of PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT. new local::libs are now added
11 to the beginning instead of the end, to match the order of other
12 similar environment variables.
14 1.008024 2013-10-28 (development release, unindexed)
15 - fix installation into directories with spaces or backslashes, as
16 well as Win32 test failures when Capture::Tiny is installed
17 - fix test breaking in some cases when an external local::lib is set
18 - fix test compatibility with old versions of Exporter
21 - stable release of 1.008022 (no code changes since 1.008012)
23 1.008022 2013-10-07 (development release, unindexed)
24 - see 1.008019 through 1.008021
26 1.008021 2013-10-04 (development release, unindexed)
27 - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
30 1.008020 2013-10-03 (development release, unindexed)
31 - yet another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with
34 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
35 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
39 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
43 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
47 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
50 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
53 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
54 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
57 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
60 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
61 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
62 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
65 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
68 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
69 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
72 - Remove Carp::Always dep
75 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
76 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
77 - Fix active_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
78 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
79 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
80 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the
81 .profile without requiring to launch perl
82 (the only difference is how PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is generated)
86 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
87 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
91 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
95 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
99 - Add local::lib stacking support.
100 - Add activation/deactivation support.
104 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
108 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
109 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
110 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
111 environment_vars_string_for()
112 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
113 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
116 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
117 miyagawa for pointing this out.
121 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
122 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
126 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
130 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
131 - Documented one method in all languages
135 - Added portuguese translation
136 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
137 - Changed methods look in documentation
141 - Added support informations (also for german)
142 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
150 - Added german translation right
154 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
158 - Added german translation
159 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
160 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
161 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
165 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
166 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
167 ever worked usefully.
168 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
176 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
177 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
178 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
179 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
181 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
182 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
184 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
189 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
191 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
193 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
194 with C<--self-contained>.
198 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
200 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
204 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
205 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
208 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
210 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
214 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
215 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
216 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
217 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
218 wouldn't work without a directory.
221 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
222 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
223 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
227 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
228 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
230 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
233 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
234 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
235 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
236 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
237 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
238 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
239 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
240 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
243 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
244 blessed entries. (grink)
245 - Include test in xt/ for the above
247 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
248 archlibexp when self contained.
249 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
250 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
251 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
252 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
253 respects it. (confound)
256 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
257 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
258 programmatically (confound).
260 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
263 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
264 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
266 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
267 bootstrapping (confound).
270 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
271 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
273 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
277 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
278 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
281 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
282 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
285 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
286 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
287 in local::lib::import().
290 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
291 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
294 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
295 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
298 - refactored shell command generation
299 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
301 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
