1 Revision history for local::lib
3 1.008019 2013-09-29 (development release, unindexed)
4 - another attempt to overcome win32 testing issues (paths with spaces,
8 - print out actual paths in more test cases, for helping to diagnose
12 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
16 - avoid "Unrecognized escape \s passed through" errors on win32
19 - re-release 1.008014 to fix broken MANIFEST
22 - fix new test to use alternate path representations on windows, to
23 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
26 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
29 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
30 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to
31 @INC (RT#76661, Karen Etheridge)
34 - skip CPAN workaround if running via cpanminus (miyagawa, RT#85731)
37 - Fix a split on undefined value warning (David Golden -- see
38 https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/issues/305)
41 - Remove Carp::Always dep
44 - Fix putting arch path in PERL5LIB
45 - Refactor Win32 path handling out of ensure_dir_structure_for()
46 - Fix activate_paths when PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT starts with :
47 - Fix ~/perl5/bin missing in $PATH
50 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched
51 - Avoid issue where PERL5LIB Carp is older than local::lib one
55 - Fix stackable tests on win32 by canonicalizing the path ahead of time
59 - Fix tests with stacking l::ls.
63 - Add local::lib stacking support.
64 - Add activation/deactivation support.
68 - Bootstrap Module::Build just like ExtUtils::MakeMaker
72 - Remove redundant prereqs now that Module::Build 0.36 is required
73 - Makefile.PL avoids CPAN client configuration when not required
74 - print_environment_vars_for() refactored with separate function
75 environment_vars_string_for()
76 - PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT environment is added to disambiguate when
77 PERL_MM_OPT, etc. was set by local::lib or other means
80 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to
81 miyagawa for pointing this out.
85 - Split up method guess_shelltype from parts of print_environment_vars_for
86 - Updated documentation about change of use with .modulebuildrc
90 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
94 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
95 - Documented one method in all languages
99 - Added portuguese translation
100 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
101 - Changed methods look in documentation
105 - Added support informations (also for german)
106 - Fixed newline in german translation from DOS2UNIX
114 - Added german translation right
118 - Hotfix for a search.cpan.org "Bug"
122 - Added german translation
123 - Enhanced some parts of english documentation
124 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
125 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
129 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
130 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
131 ever worked usefully.
132 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
140 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
141 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
142 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
143 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
145 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
146 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
148 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
153 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
155 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
157 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
158 with C<--self-contained>.
162 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
164 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
168 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
169 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
172 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
174 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
178 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
179 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
180 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
181 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
182 wouldn't work without a directory.
185 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
186 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
187 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
191 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
192 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
194 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
197 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
198 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
199 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
200 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
201 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
202 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
203 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
204 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
207 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
208 blessed entries. (grink)
209 - Include test in xt/ for the above
211 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
212 archlibexp when self contained.
213 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
214 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
215 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)
216 - eg/scripted_install.pl now no longer requires TARGET, but still
217 respects it. (confound)
220 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
221 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
222 programmatically (confound).
224 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
227 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
228 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
230 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
231 bootstrapping (confound).
234 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
235 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
237 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
241 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
242 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
245 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
246 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
249 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
250 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
251 in local::lib::import().
254 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
255 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
258 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
259 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
262 - refactored shell command generation
263 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
265 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
