[rt.cpan.org 46678] (Craig Berry)

Bug Fixes
* Fix a minor bug with the new PERM_DIR stuff which caused EUI to think
PERM_DIR was an install skip file.
* A Win32 function call in the last alpha broke Win32 builds.
6.51_01 Fri Apr 10 14:30:27 PDT 2009
New Features
* Module installation will not be stopped by a broken Pod::Man.
Man pages will just not be installed.
[rt.cpan.org 43546] (Jesse Vincent)
* vim swap files, *.swp, will now be ignored by MakeMaker.
* Added PERM_DIR to control permissions on directories.
[rt.cpan.org 3927] (Rajesh Mandalemula)
Feature Changes
* Modules in PREREQ_PM are no longer loaded in order to figure out
their version. parse_version() is used instead.
[rt.cpan.org 44646]
* PPD files generated with "make ppd" now use the new REQUIRES key
rather than the now deprecated DEPENDENCY.
[rt.cpan.org 25179] (GAAS)
* PPD files no longer contain the deprecated OS tag.
* fixin is a bit less restrictive allowing things like
#!perl5.8.8 and #!perl-debug [rt.cpan.org 29442]
* Remove the unused perm_rw() and perm_rwx() methods.
Bug Fixes
* On 5.10 "make ppd" would generate the wrong ARCHITECTURE saying the
version is 5.1 instead of 5.10.
* Our pod2man emulation now requires an argument to --perm_rw.
[rt.cpan.org 35190] (imacat)
* DISTVNAME was documented as a WriteMakefile() param but you'd
get a warning if you tried to use it. [rt.cpan.org 43217]
* Better support for parallel make installs.
[rt.cpan.org 32758] (Brendan O'Dea)
* parse_version() will now skip uses of $VERSION in conditions
[rt.cpan.org 9452] (jc@unser.net)
* The architecture mismatch warning could show up on Win32 due
to long vs short filenames being used to compare.
[rt.cpan.org 33532] (DAGOLDEN)
* maybe_command() will recognize Windows executables in
/cygdrive on Cygwin [rt.cpan.org 16375] (PJF)
* parse_version() will now look for the first use of $VERSION
that results in $VERSION being set.
Test Fixes
* basic.t will not leave a "bin" environment variable defined on VMS.
[rt.cpan.org 42150] (John E. Malmberg)
* Made the tests work ok on systems whose makes assume that files which
have the same mod time are out of date. This is often the case for
the tests which generate files and run make rapidly.
[rt.cpan.org 29955] (Ken Hirsch)
* skip test numbers were wrong on VMS in t/basic.t
[rt.cpan.org 43511] (John E. Malmberg)
Portability
* Removed a few hard coded uses of the "false" command.
[rt.cpan.org 44504]
VMS
* Fixed a few calls to catfile() that should be catdir().
(John E. Malmberg)
* Override catdir() and catfile() to expand macros. This is normally done
inside File::Spec::VMS but is really a MakeMaker-only thing.
(John E. Malmberg)
Other
* Remove ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes and vmsish which are unused and
seem to never have been used.
* Repository now on github.
6.50 Sun Mar 22 12:28:06 PDT 2009
Windows
* Remove the special checks for compilers that need a "manifest". Instead,
the code will just be a no-op if there's no manifest. Or something.
I dunno, I'm hoping Jan and Steve know what they're doing.
[rt.perl.org 61492]
6.49_01 Thu Feb 19 17:06:36 PST 2009
New OS Support
* Recognize "Haiku", a resurrection of BeOS.
New Features
- META.yml now includes ExtUtils::MakeMaker in build_requires by
default.
Test Fixes
- ExtUtils::Install 1.51 changed its output breaking some tests that
were looking for /^Writing/ [rt.cpan.org 42927]
Bug Fixes
- Upgrade bundled modules: ExtUtils::Install 1.52, ExtUtils::Command
1.16, ExtUtils::Manifest 1.56.
Other
- The MakeMaker repository moved slightly. Changed the metadata to
reflect this. [rt.cpan.org 41571]
6.48 Mon Oct 20 11:18:13 PDT 2008
Test Fixes
* Protect against stray environment variables effecting the tests.
[rt.cpan.org 14930]
6.47_02 Thu Oct 16 16:14:20 PDT 2008
Test Fixes
* MIN_PERL_VERSION test had some goofs on VMS. [thanks Craig Berry]
6.47_01 Tue Oct 14 12:38:05 EDT 2008
New Features
* Added optional parameter MIN_PERL_VERSION, to define minimal
required perl version for dependency checks and to pass on to
META.yml and ppd files. [rt.cpan.org 28374]
Thanks to David Golden, Alexandr Ciornii (chorny) and Martin Becker
Bug Fixes
* Guard against a path to Perl with a space in it.
From Max Maischein. [bleadperl@32905]
Test Fixes
- Small fix for VOS from Paul Green [bleadperl@33259]
Other
* $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision, $ExtUtils::MM_Unix::Revision and
$ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision are all now based on $VERSION. You
shouldn't be using them for anything anyway.
6.46 Sat Sep 27 17:34:03 EDT 2008
Bug Fixes
- Fix META_MERGE for more than one level of hashes. [rt.cpan.org 39348]
6.45_02 Sun Sep 7 13:59:14 PDT 2008
Bug Fixes
- Updated bundled ExtUtils::Command to 1.14, ExtUtils::Install to
1.50 and ExtUtils::Manifest to 1.54
Test Fixes
- t/writemakefile_args.t had the wrong skip amount causing failures
when run without version.pm (mostly 5.6 users)
6.45_01 Sat Sep 6 03:19:03 PDT 2008
New Features
* META_ADD and META_MERGE have been added to manipulate the META.yml.
Thanks to Adriano Ferreira. [rt.cpan.org 21282]
- META.yml now includes configure_requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker by
default. [rt.cpan.org 32337]
- META.yml now excludes t/ and inc/ from indexing by default.
- META.yml license is now "unknown" instead of undef if a LICENSE is not
given.
- META.yml now conforms to version 1.4 of the spec.
Bug Fixes
- Make @MM_Sections and @Overridable global again. It's an undocumented
but used way to manipulate MakeMaker behavior. [rt.cpan.org 36047]
Portability
* Changed the name/dmake test in MM_Win32.pm to use regexs to that
they are able to handle Perl on a Stick absolute paths.
6.44 Thu Feb 28 16:06:04 PST 2008
Bug Fixes
* Updated bundled ExtUtils::Install to 1.45 which should fix some
Cygwin issues. [rt.cpan.org 33291]
6.43_01 Tue Jan 1 16:06:47 PST 2008
Bug Fixes
* Change the "is this really a Perl core library directory" checks to
look for strict instead of Exporter. Now that Exporter is on CPAN
it can wind up in site_perl.
* split_command() will now set aside a little more space for macro
expansion. This should help on systems with cramped command line
lengths. Specifically, Pugs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 20145]
Installation
* MakeMaker would not install if the installed MakeMaker was too old,
like on 5.6.1. The installation process was still using the
installed MakeMaker in a few places. This has been fixed.
[rt.cpan.org 24746]
OS X
* "make dist" will no longer bundle up resource fork files (._foo).
[rt.cpan.org 29525]
Docs
* The documentation of VERSION_FROM was recommending vstrings (1.2.3)
which have never worked right.
* The documentation for the accepted values of LICENSE moved to
Module::Build::API. [rt.cpan.org 32020]
Tests
* The compilation test was testing the installed modules, not the
about-to-be-installed.
* xs.t would fail if ExtUtils::CBuilder was not installed.
Misc
* Cleanups brought to you by no more 5.5 compatibility!
* MakeMaker is now perlcritic clean at severity level 5... except
the really silly ones.
* DIE use vars DIE!
* Added some resources to the META.yml
6.42 Fri Dec 7 17:00:14 PST 2007
Bug Fixes
- 6.33 moved PREREQ_FATAL to happen after CONFIGURE. This meant if
your CONFIGURE use a prereq it would fail and no PREREQ_FATAL
message would be displayed.
- Put the "nicetext" functionality back, VMS needs it to deal with
other people's custom make. But rename it to the more
accurate maketext_filter(), test it and fix a bug where it would
stop processing if it saw a macro declaration.
6.40 Thu Dec 6 03:00:47 PST 2007
Bug Fixes
- Remove the dubious nicetext() Makefile formatting hack to account for
a lack of space between the target and colon needed on VMS. This
interfered with META.yml creation on VMS and possibly other output.
- Fix the remaining targets which don't have a space between the target
and the colon.
6.38 Wed Nov 28 16:01:12 PST 2007
Releasing 6.37_03 as 6.38.
6.37_03 Mon Nov 26 14:15:34 PST 2007
Tests
- parse_version.t had wrong test count when version.pm isn't installed.
- Fixed some warnings in the XS module we're using for testing.
- "our $VERSION" test in parse_version.t was never running
- Quoting uses of 1.2.3 style versions in parse_version.t to protect
older perls.
Portability
- Moved the minimum required version up to 5.6.0.
6.37_02 Sun Nov 25 23:33:14 PST 2007
Test Improvements
- Added a test for a basic XS build.
Bug Fixes
- A refactoring in 6.37_01 broke XS compilation.
6.37_01 Sun Nov 25 17:05:53 PST 2007
Improvements
- Upgraded the META.yml to version 1.3 of the spec (which really
doesn't change anything). Thanks bdfoy.
- MakeMaker now always includes the required 'author' field in
the META.yml even if it's undef to comply with the META.yml spec.
- Updated ExtUtils-Install to latest version (1.44)
- Unified the version numbers of all modules.
Test Fixes
- cd() test on VMS used non-native paths. [bleadperl 31534]
- Removed uses of "no_plan" in tests to remain compatible with
old versions of Test::Harness.
- writemakefile_args.t had the wrong test count if version.pm isn't
installed.
Bug Fixes
- $VERSION detection code would be confused by "sub version"
[rt.cpan.org 30747]
- LINKTYPE=static will now be propagated to child builds.
[bleadperl 31761]
Portability Fixes
- Add "dragonfly" to the list of BSDish operating systems
- BSD detection code would not pick up bsdos or internix
- Fix detection of shared libperl on NetBSD [bleadperl 31526]
6.36 Tue Jul 3 01:06:40 PDT 2007
Test Fixes
- version.pm prior to 0.7203 caused Foo->VERSION to reformat
$Foo::VERSION. This caused prereq.t to fail.
6.35 Sun Jul 1 20:53:38 PDT 2007
New Features
* MakeMaker will now try to "use version" before parsing $VERSION.
This allows "$VERSION = qv(1.2.3)" to work.
Test Fixes
- writemakefile_args.t now works with older versions of version.pm
6.34 Sat Jun 30 11:06:54 CDT 2007
Test Fixes
- Accidentally hard coded the version of strict.pm [rt.cpan.org 27838]
6.33 Fri Jun 29 17:15:34 CDT 2007
New Features
* VERSION now accepts version objects without warning.
[rt.cpan.org 26075]
Bug Fixes
- Properly not installing MANIFEST.SKIP when ExtUtils::Manifest is not
being installed. [rt.cpan.org 21318]
- fixin() no longer clobbers $/ [rt.cpan.org 26234]
- Fixed bug finding cross-compiled perls [bleadperl 31404]
- Looking up to 8 levels up to find uninstalled perls
[bleadperl 30932]
* A test failure in a sub-project would not cause "make test" to
fail. [rt.cpan.org 27804]
Windows
- Embed manifest files in EXEs and DLLs when building with VC++ 8.x
[bleadperl #29266] [rt.cpan.org 26208]
- Improved the subdir command code so DIR can do more than one level
down. [rt.cpan.org 25180]
- Fix static builds on Win32 by using -DPERLDLL [bleadperl 31229]
VMS
- Use linker flags rather than compiler flags to determine if the
perl sharable image was linked debug. This keeps OPTIMIZE from
confusing things. [rt.cpan.org 25268]
- Accidental use of $\ in a regex. [bleadperl 30521]
BSD
- If calling perl causes MakeMaker to emit warnings, then it
cannot find the location of its binary. [rt.cpan.org 23178]
Doc Improvements
- Typo fixes. $(TOUNIX) -> $(TO_UNIX). [rt.cpan.org 23495]
- The example for setting $VERSION from $Revision$ in SVN was
incorrect. (Thanks to ROBERTMAY@cpan.org) [rt.cpan.org 26995]
- Document what's wrong with PREFIX and what to use instead.
[rt.cpan.org 12919]
- Improve the PREREQ_FATAL docs to make it really clear that you
do NOT want to use this!
Misc
- Provide information during the install about whether we're using the
installed or provided dependency (ie. ExtUtils::Command).
- Updated included versions of ExtUtils::Manifest and Command.
- Add .bak and .old to veryclean [rt.cpan.org 21284]
- Improved the PREREQ_FATAL message.
6.32 Wed Feb 21 07:59:57 PST 2007
New Features
- WriteEmptyMakefile() is now exportable upon request.
Bug Fixes
- Set binmode() when writing to files in Command.t for operating
systems which need that sort of thing. [bleadperl #29578]
- Fixed a minor duplication in manifypod_target(). [rt.cpan.org 22149]
Test Fixes
- The build_man.t test would fail if your Perl is configured to not
generate man pages ($Config{installman3dir} is set to none).
Doc Improvements
- Made the home dir install examples a little more friendly to non-Unix
folks.
Misc
- miniperl no longer has the Win32 functions.
- Turn on "use strict" where it was missing.
6.31 Mon Oct 9 16:54:47 PDT 2006
- Update our META.yml to version 1.2 of the spec.
* Update the SEE ALSO to mention Module::Build, Module::Install,
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter.
- Fix ARCHITECTURE tag in PPD generation for 5.8 (patch taken from
ActiveState 819). [rt.cpan.org 20566]
* Bring ExtUtils::Manifest up to 1.48
6.30_04 Mon Sep 11 16:14:06 EDT 2006
- EXTRA_META has been undocumented as I don't like the way the
interface works but I don't want to hold up 6.31. It will be
replaced with something better next version.
- Added explaination of distclean behavior and instructions on how to
blow away anything not in the MANIFEST to the FAQ.
* 6.30_01 broke overrides of PM. MakeMaker would add to a user
suplied PM rather than simply accepting it.
* Document INSTALL_BASE.
* Added "How do I install a module into my home directory?" to the FAQ
* Added "How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the
same place?"
- Moving ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap back into
lib/ because no independent distribution has taken them over.
6.30_03 Fri Sep 1 17:03:11 EDT 2006
- Minor fix to Command.t for Win32.
6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006
- Updated to ExtUtils::Install 1.41
* Won't scan for and build man pages when MAN3PODS is deliberately set
empty.
- Minor VMS fixes. [bleadperl@26813]
- VMS->one_liner must quote "--" argument. [bleadperl@27613]
* Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and
INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536]
- Minor fix to work with Pod::man 2.04. [bleadperl@26457]
- $Revision was broken.
- Updated our internal version of Test::More to catch a few warnings.
- ExtUtils::Command::test_f() test was broken.
- Clarified that test_f() exits.
6.30_01 Tue Aug 16 23:53:27 PDT 2005
* Fixed compiling modules using an uninstalled Perl on Win32 by using
the proper perl header location for Windows (which is different from
Unix). Looks like a very old bug. [bugs.perl.org 36128]
- $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Revision accidentally left in a stray "Revision".
[thanks pdx.pm for noticing this]
- Fixed the $VERSION = $Revision$ example in the MakeMaker docs and the
FAQ. [thanks again, pdx.pm]
- Elaborated on the differences between CVS, SVN and others when using
$Revision$ based $VERSIONs.
* ExtUtils::Command, ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Manifest,
ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap, ExtUtils::Mksymlists and ExtUtils::Packlist
are all now considered to be separate distributions. To avoid a
circular dependency, MakeMaker distributes its own versions but CPAN
should not index them and they will not overwrite a newer, installed
version.
* Added EXTRA_META option to allow module authors to append extra
text to the generated META.yml.
* Added a LICENSE field mirroring Module::Build's license.
* META.yml support updated to version 1.1. All required fields
now generated. (NOTE: 1.1 isn't yet complete but we're going with
it anyway. MakeMaker uses "author" instead of "authored_by" as its
expected the former will be used in 1.1 final).
* Non-conforming version_from and installdirs META.yml fields removed.
* META.yml distribution_type field now intelligent enough to guess at
the type rather than hard code 'module'.
* INSTALLBASE changed to INSTALL_BASE to match Module::Build.
* Added a MAKE parameter for Windows users to say if they're using
dmake or nmake.
6.30 Fri May 20 16:05:38 PDT 2005
* PL_FILES behavior tweak again to restore old behavior. Sometimes its
supposed to run before pm_to_blib, sometimes after.
- Some tests shipped with 'no_plan' which will break on older
Test::Harness.
6.29 Thu May 19 14:15:21 PDT 2005
* The behavior of PL_FILES is restored to its pre-6.26 behavior as several
CPAN modules depend on this. PL programs run via PL_FILES have
INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in their @INC and so can load any just built
modules.
- Now honors PERL_CORE environment variable.
- Testing to ensure FIRST_MAKEFILE is honored.
6.28 Tue Apr 12 16:17:07 PDT 2005
- Fix realclean so it cleans up files installed from ext/ in the core
- Fix dir_target() so it doesn't warn should any of the INST_* paths
be the same (as with the ext/ modules in the core)
- Fix MANIFEST.SKIP so it skips not just _darcs/ but everything inside
it and any which happen to be in subdirs.
- MM_AIX forgot to import neatvalue() from E::MakeMaker.
(bleadperl@24185)
- Fixed a minor C<<>> POD nit (Scott Lanning)
6.27 Mon Apr 4 16:36:14 PDT 2005
* Added _darcs to the list of revision control administrative
directories skipped both in libscan and in MANIFEST.SKIP.
6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005
* PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being
passed the file they were to generate.
* How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is
now documented.
* The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented.
6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005
6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005
- Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest
version is found.
- Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10.
6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005
- Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any.
- Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part
of RT 6460 in 6.25_02.
6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005
- pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I
couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility.
This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various
previous alpha releases.
6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005
- Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent
and better.
- Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are
now possible.
6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005
- Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it.
- Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN
made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left
XSUBPP alone.
- Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can
make commands too long on VMS.
- Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using
.exists files everywhere.
- Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS.
- Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds.
- Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all.
- Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892)
- distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with
Module::Install
6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004
- perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice.
- No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring
it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy.
- Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to
a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas.
6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004
- Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro.
- .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as
targets as their mod time changes too frequently.
* Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented
it yet. I'll do that next release.
6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004
- One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command".
Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro.
- 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed.
- The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for
Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP.
6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004
- 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules.
6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004
- dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own
target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This
ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes
things like SVN's perl bindings.
6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004
- Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier
macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations
like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32.
[rt.cpan.org 4545]
- clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting
directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851]
- small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before
we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460]
- MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and
several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18.
6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004
* *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP.
* META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will
only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers,
they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time.
* Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build
directory. It will only be generated in the distdir.
- A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed.
- 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files.
This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to
Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix.
6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004
- Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now
ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809]
- Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP
6.24_01 Thu Dec 9 00:44:48 EST 2004
- Docs encouraged possibly insecure use of /tmp [CAN-2004-0976 via Debian]
- Remove empty rpath from .so files [bleadperl@23183]
- At long last the core man page title has its apostrophe.
- BeOS tests fixed [Ingo Weinhold] [perlbug #32717]
- Putting a pm_to_blib target back (alias of pm_to_blib.ts) in case
anyone was depending on it being there (mod_perl was).
6.24 Tue Nov 30 15:35:13 EST 2004
- dir_target() was accidentally named dir_targets() causing problems
installing some Tk modules.
6.23 Fri Nov 26 16:01:50 EST 2004
- MM_MacOS lost its $VERSION causing some CPAN indexing problems. Enough
people noticed this to warrant a quick release.
6.22 Tue Nov 23 22:22:22 EST 2004
- Minor glitch in Command.t test on Win32 [thanks Steve Hay]
* Fixed MANIFEST.SKIP so it avoids all the new *.ts files.
- Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments
6.21_03 Sat Apr 3 2004
- pm_to_blib and blibdirs stamp files now pm_to_blib.ts and blibdirs.ts
everywhere because some filesystems insist you have a dot in the
filename. This eliminates a bunch of special case code.
- Minor potential glitch in the version check logic.
- Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential
errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway.
- Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP.
* Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run.
* Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building
large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson]
* test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}.
[Greg Matheson]
- instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available.
[Slaven Rezic]
- instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives.
[Slaven Rezic]
- Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?"
and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie]
- Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume
[Ilya Zakharevich]
- When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed
xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig]
- makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries
not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032]
* MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use
Module::Build instead.
* Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on
VMS. [rt 4675]
- For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any
existing uses.
- Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN).
This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616]
- realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories
wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208]
- fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955]
- ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS
[rt 4687]
- hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O
contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test
mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365]
- Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on
VMS. [rt 4676]
- parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs.
[rt 5633]
6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003
- NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of
PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed
(ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger]
- Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version
for backwards compatibility.
- Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of
modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written.
6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003
- Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we
take a more conservative approach.
- Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows.
- Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290]
- Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase]
- metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing
nmake [rt 4285 4301]
6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003
- Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and
teardown the dummy modules as needed.
- Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set
- INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR)
instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected.
6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003
- parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich)
- 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase)
* When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now
fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for
$Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older
Perls.
* Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds.
* Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead.
- Removed now unused dir_target() method.
- Added a little documentation to instmodsh.
* Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use
it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of
PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS.
* Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang)
- Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake
made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2
- Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix()
* manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used.
* Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and
open.pm (Autrijus Tang)
- Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded.
* metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing.
* metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a
warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml
- Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims)
* metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed
(Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea)
* Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last
November and nobody noticed.
- Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set
by the user.
- Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories
* Documented UNINST=1
6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003
- Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves)
* Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so
it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found.
* Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB
(Orton Yves)
- Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others)
where a read-only file cannot be deleted.
- Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates
ndbgperl.exe.
- Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument.
6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003
* Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old
versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS).
- Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed.
[Sreeji K Das]
* Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP
- PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel
bleadperl@20530)
- maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to
causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180)
6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003
- Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already
installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon)
6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003
- Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml
itself and the metafile documentation.
- Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the
way of users adding code to the manifypods target.
- Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using
it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man
installation targets in a backwards compatible way.
* Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs.
6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003
- Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester)
- Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This
was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345.
- extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up.
6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003
- Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and
prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than
"prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283)
- Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean"
(CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this
was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't
blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied
to INST_*.
- Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking
for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a
really bizarre way.
6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003
- Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke
- Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run
twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again.
* Noting where to find make in the README
* Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile
on Windows.
6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003
* $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default
always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949]
* Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which
tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL
(it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's).
This appears to be a rather old bug.
[rt.cpan.org #2951]
* [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get
stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process
of prepending a .. onto it.
- Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing
expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it.
* No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute.
- Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep
repeating the list all over the code.
- Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing
with DESTDIR set.
* DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892
and part of rt.cpan.org #2954]
* DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables.
installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents
the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod.
DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954]
- MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing
some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored.
- MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing
internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify
when it didn't.
6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003
* Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB
instead of one for each perl, site and vendor.
- Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back
to using multiple -e's.
* Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS
in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped.
- Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading
files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry.
- MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya)
- Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous
newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to
$(ECHO).
- Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n'
6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003
- Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in
ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug.
- Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows.
- Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during
the basic.t test on Windows.
6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003
* Documenting META.yml, NO_META
* Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and
alter your manifest.
* Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ
