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