| 2 | - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl isntead of |
| 3 | PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed |
| 4 | (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger] |
| 5 | - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version |
| 6 | for backwards compatibility. |
| 7 | - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of |
| 8 | modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003 |
| 11 | - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we |
| 12 | take a more conservative approach. |
| 13 | - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows. |
| 14 | - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290] |
| 15 | - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase] |
| 16 | - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing |
| 17 | nmake [rt 4285 4301] |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003 |
| 20 | - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and |
| 21 | teardown the dummy modules as needed. |
| 22 | - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set |
| 23 | - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR) |
| 24 | instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL |
| 25 | INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | 6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003 |
| 28 | - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich) |
| 29 | - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase) |
| 30 | * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now |
| 31 | fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for |
| 32 | $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older |
| 33 | Perls. |
| 34 | * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds. |
| 35 | * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead. |
| 36 | - Removed now unused dir_target() method. |
| 37 | - Added a little documentation to instmodsh. |
| 38 | * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use |
| 39 | it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of |
| 40 | PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS. |
| 41 | * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang) |
| 42 | - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake |
| 43 | made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2 |
| 44 | - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix() |
| 45 | * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used. |
| 46 | * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and |
| 47 | open.pm (Autrijus Tang) |
| 48 | - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded. |
| 49 | * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing. |
| 50 | * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a |
| 51 | warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml |
| 52 | - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims) |
| 53 | * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed |
| 54 | (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea) |
| 55 | * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last |
| 56 | November and nobody noticed. |
| 57 | - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set |
| 58 | by the user. |
| 59 | - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories |
| 60 | * Documented UNINST=1 |
| 61 | |
| 62 | 6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003 |
| 63 | - Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves) |
| 64 | * Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so |
| 65 | it works on VMS allowing $^X to be found. |
| 66 | * Fixing make install UNINST=1 on Windows so it can search PERL5LIB |
| 67 | (Orton Yves) |
| 68 | - Fixing "could not open MANIFEST" test for OS/2 (and probably others) |
| 69 | where a read-only file cannot be deleted. |
| 70 | - Hacking around the fact that when built for debugging, VMS creates |
| 71 | ndbgperl.exe. |
| 72 | - Eliminating the never implemented "help" argument. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | 6.16 Mon Aug 18 01:39:51 PDT 2003 |
| 75 | * Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old |
| 76 | versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS). |
| 77 | - Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed. |
| 78 | [Sreeji K Das] |
| 79 | * Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP |
| 80 | - PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel |
| 81 | bleadperl@20530) |
| 82 | - maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to |
| 83 | causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180) |
| 84 | |
| 85 | 6.15 Sun Aug 3 16:41:05 PDT 2003 |
| 86 | - Make FIXIN on Win32 use the new pl2bat rather than an already |
| 87 | installed one when building the core (Mattia Barbon) |
| 88 | |
| 89 | 6.14 Sun Aug 3 16:23:27 PDT 2003 |
| 90 | - Adding a reference to the Module::Build META.yml spec in the META.yml |
| 91 | itself and the metafile documentation. |
| 92 | - Removed Begin/End comments from manifypods that were getting in the |
| 93 | way of users adding code to the manifypods target. |
| 94 | - Putting a POD2MAN macro back as an alias to POD2MAN_EXE and using |
| 95 | it instead of POD2MAN. This allows people to generate their own man |
| 96 | installation targets in a backwards compatible way. |
| 97 | * Adding reference to the Module::Build META file spec in the docs. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | 6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003 |
| 100 | - Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester) |
| 101 | - Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This |
| 102 | was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345. |
| 103 | - extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | 6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003 |
| 106 | - Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and |
| 107 | prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than |
| 108 | "prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283) |
| 109 | - Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean" |
| 110 | (CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this |
| 111 | was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't |
| 112 | blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied |
| 113 | to INST_*. |
| 114 | - Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking |
| 115 | for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a |
| 116 | really bizarre way. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | 6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003 |
| 119 | - Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke |
| 120 | - Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run |
| 121 | twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again. |
| 122 | * Noting where to find make in the README |
| 123 | * Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile |
| 124 | on Windows. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | 6.10_08 Mon Jul 21 18:17:06 PDT 2003 |
| 127 | * $Config{installvendorman*dir} was being ignored and our default |
| 128 | always used. [rt.cpan.org #2949] |
| 129 | * Setting NORECURS to true was still resulting in a Makefile which |
| 130 | tried to recurse into subdirectories which contained a Makefile.PL |
| 131 | (it simply wouldn't have run them to generate Makefile's). |
| 132 | This appears to be a rather old bug. |
| 133 | [rt.cpan.org #2951] |
| 134 | * [rt.perl.org #4345] Arguments passed to WriteMakefile() would get |
| 135 | stopped upon by $self->{PARENT} in recursive builds in the process |
| 136 | of prepending a .. onto it. |
| 137 | - Command.t now using its own temp directory when testing |
| 138 | expand_wildcards() so no stray files confuse it. |
| 139 | * No longer warning about 'postamble' attribute. |
| 140 | - Added installvars() to list INSTALL* variables so we don't keep |
| 141 | repeating the list all over the code. |
| 142 | - Added init_DEST() to create DESTINSTALL* variables for installing |
| 143 | with DESTDIR set. |
| 144 | * DESTDIR + PREFIX now does not duplicate DESTDIR. [Redhat #91892 |
| 145 | and part of rt.cpan.org #2954] |
| 146 | * DESTDIR is now not directly prepended to the INSTALL* variables. |
| 147 | installation targets now use DESTINSTALL* instead. This prevents |
| 148 | the DESTDIR from showing up in places it shouldn't like perllocal.pod. |
| 149 | DESTDIR is still appearing in .packlist (bug). [rt.cpan.org #2954] |
| 150 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() wasn't honoring the %Config_Override causing |
| 151 | some MakeMaker generated config variables to be ignored. |
| 152 | - MM_VMS->prefixify() was only VMSifying part of its filepaths causing |
| 153 | internal comparisions to get confused and think it had to prefixify |
| 154 | when it didn't. |
| 155 | |
| 156 | 6.10_07 Sat Jul 5 16:12:52 PDT 2003 |
| 157 | * Fixing location of perllocal.pod so its always in INSTALLARCHLIB |
| 158 | instead of one for each perl, site and vendor. |
| 159 | - Sun's make treats escaped newlines oddly. Switching oneliner() back |
| 160 | to using multiple -e's. |
| 161 | * Bug in libscan() meant that any .pm containing RCS or CVS or SCCS |
| 162 | in its name (for example, RCS.pm) would be skipped. |
| 163 | - Command.t was getting confused in the core because it was reading |
| 164 | files from the core t/ directory, not MakeMaker's t/ directry. |
| 165 | - MM_OS2 PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER test wrong for a.out systems (Ilya) |
| 166 | - Fixing perllocal.pod and XS installation on VMS. An extraneous |
| 167 | newline was introduced when changing the install macros over to |
| 168 | $(ECHO). |
| 169 | - Added $(ECHO_N) macro to emulate 'echo -n' |
| 170 | |
| 171 | 6.10_06 Sat Jun 7 00:55:29 PDT 2003 |
| 172 | - Whoops, Liblist.t busted on VMS after I turned strict on in |
| 173 | ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid. Merely a test bug, not a real bug. |
| 174 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure so the proper error shows. |
| 175 | - Fixed metafile_addtomanifest failure diagnostic leaking out during |
| 176 | the basic.t test on Windows. |
| 177 | |
| 178 | 6.10_05 Fri Jun 6 18:15:30 PDT 2003 |
| 179 | * Documenting META.yml, NO_META |
| 180 | * Documenting the fact that distdir will auto generate META.yml and |
| 181 | alter your manifest. |
| 182 | * Adding META.yml autogeneration to the FAQ |
| 183 | - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better. |
| 184 | - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry) |
| 185 | * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere |
| 186 | around 6.06_01. |
| 187 | - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install() |
| 188 | - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install |
| 189 | loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows. |
| 190 | - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only |
| 191 | (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723) |
| 192 | - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the |
| 193 | dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747) |
| 194 | |
| 195 | 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003 |
| 196 | - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl] |
| 197 | - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic) |
| 198 | - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in |
| 199 | 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong. |
| 200 | * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end |
| 201 | of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444] |
| 202 | * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from. |
| 203 | - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions. |
| 204 | - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal) |
| 205 | - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic) |
| 206 | - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman) |
| 207 | - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper) |
| 208 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper) |
| 209 | * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has. |
| 210 | 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again. |
| 211 | * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they |
| 212 | sometimes don't get installed. |
| 213 | - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the |
| 214 | "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic) |
| 215 | * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in |
| 216 | 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark) |
| 217 | |
| 218 | 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003 |
| 219 | * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of |
| 220 | META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359) |
| 221 | - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry) |
| 222 | * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar |
| 223 | if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators. |
| 224 | Fixed. |
| 225 | * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files. |
| 226 | * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas) |
| 227 | - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03. |
| 228 | (Stas Bekman) |
| 229 | - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems. |
| 230 | (Craig Berry) |
| 231 | - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko) |
| 232 | - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails |
| 233 | miserably. |
| 234 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry) |
| 235 | |
| 236 | 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003 |
| 237 | * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen |
| 238 | except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't. |
| 239 | Just on OS/2. |
| 240 | |
| 241 | 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003 |
| 242 | - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently |
| 243 | - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding |
| 244 | to skip installing a file. |
| 245 | - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya) |
| 246 | - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya) |
| 247 | - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya) |
| 248 | - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in |
| 249 | at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) |
| 250 | - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core |
| 251 | removed. No longer relevent. |
| 252 | - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon) |
| 253 | * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc. |
| 254 | - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid |
| 255 | - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too |
| 256 | annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed. |
| 257 | Mentioned it in the FAQ instead. |
| 258 | - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared |
| 259 | properly before. (Craig Berry) |
| 260 | - Fixing ECHO on dmake. |
| 261 | - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is() |
| 262 | - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier |
| 263 | reading. |
| 264 | * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively. |
| 265 | - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t |
| 266 | - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library. |
| 267 | * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names |
| 268 | from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur) |
| 269 | |
| 270 | # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been |
| 271 | # so much change between 6.05 and now. |
| 272 | |
| 273 | 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003 |
| 274 | - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed... |
| 275 | - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a |
| 276 | warning because of this. |
| 277 | - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC. |
| 278 | A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from |
| 279 | the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC. |
| 280 | Worked around. |
| 281 | - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef |
| 282 | - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/ |
| 283 | |
| 284 | 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003 |
| 285 | - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just |
| 286 | the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS. |
| 287 | - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix} |
| 288 | (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared |
| 289 | in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}. |
| 290 | - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions |
| 291 | - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1 |
| 292 | thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there. |
| 293 | - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no |
| 294 | args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler. |
| 295 | * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility. |
| 296 | Missing since 5.6.1. |
| 297 | - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten |
| 298 | command line lengths. |
| 299 | - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest |
| 300 | - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to |
| 301 | eof() not honor tied handles. |
| 302 | - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was |
| 303 | causing warnings when generating the Makefile. |
| 304 | |
| 305 | 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003 |
| 306 | - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info for ppd generation. |
| 307 | - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file. |
| 308 | - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker |
| 309 | to think modules weren't installed. |
| 310 | - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets |
| 311 | - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO). |
| 312 | - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS |
| 313 | - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy. |
| 314 | - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before. |
| 315 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(), |
| 316 | warn_if_old_packlist(). |
| 317 | * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS |
| 318 | as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S |
| 319 | in the first place. |
| 320 | * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized! |
| 321 | Holdover from exclusive .exists usage. |
| 322 | - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO) |
| 323 | - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS |
| 324 | - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others() |
| 325 | - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass. |
| 326 | - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line |
| 327 | lengths causing it to run over on VMS |
| 328 | - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro |
| 329 | expansion |
| 330 | - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS |
| 331 | - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec. |
| 332 | - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS |
| 333 | can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing. |
| 334 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with |
| 335 | MakeMaker. |
| 336 | - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma. |
| 337 | - Added compile & POD test |
| 338 | * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file. |
| 339 | Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build. |
| 340 | * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST |
| 341 | * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as |
| 342 | octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman). |
| 343 | - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable |
| 344 | [perl #21526] |
| 345 | |
| 346 | 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002 |
| 347 | * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. |
| 348 | * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with |
| 349 | shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult. |
| 350 | * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to |
| 351 | object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and |
| 352 | fixpath() work again. |
| 353 | |
| 354 | 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002 |
| 355 | - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for |
| 356 | MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl. |
| 357 | - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be |
| 358 | canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths. |

| 363 | - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better. |
| 364 | - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man |
| 365 | rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from |
| 366 | MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went |
| 367 | away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be |
| 368 | using that. |

| 397 | with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F. |

| 400 | of the clean target. |
| 401 | - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS |
| 402 | - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused |
| 403 | - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid |
| 404 | hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules. |
| 405 | - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific |
| 406 | macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there. |
| 407 | - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros. |
| 408 | - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier. |
| 409 | - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default |
| 410 | target. |

| 412 | they come first. |
| 413 | - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros. |

| 425 | init_others() to init_platform() |
| 426 | Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to |
| 427 | init_platform() |
| 428 | Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from |
| 429 | constants() to init_platform() |
| 430 | |
| 431 | - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet |
| 432 | Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods. |
| 433 | Added MM_REVISION for completeness |
| 434 | Using wraplist() instead of manual joining |
| 435 | Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets() |
| 436 | Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target() |

| 447 | init_VERSION |
| 448 | Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override. |
| 449 | Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}. |
| 450 | constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls. |
| 451 | |
| 452 | - MM_Win32 constants() goes away |
| 453 | Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override. |
| 454 | Everything else was redundant. |
| 455 | |
| 456 | - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for |
| 457 | XS builds where the version number is very sensitive. |
| 458 | - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated |
| 459 | into init_linker(). |
| 460 | - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION, |
| 461 | MM_VMS_VERSION. |
| 462 | - Eliminated duplicate code in constants() overrides |
| 463 | - Added all_target() for easier customization of what's run by default |
| 464 | - Eliminated duplicate top_targets() overrides |
| 465 | - Made tool_autosplit() method portable. Moved to MM_Any. Eliminated |
| 466 | overrides. |
| 467 | - Adding realclean_subdirs target and realclean_subdirs_target() |
| 468 | method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an |
| 469 | unportable part of the realclean target. |
| 470 | - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners. |
| 471 | - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part |
| 472 | * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.' |
| 473 | * prompt() will now read from STDIN. |
| 474 | - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS |
| 475 | is explicitly set to empty. |
| 476 | * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier. |
| 477 | * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables. |
| 478 | * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former |
| 479 | holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the |
| 480 | optional override prefix supplied by the user. |
| 481 | * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL. |
| 482 | This restores "make install PREFIX=foo". |
| 483 | - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting. |
| 484 | - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms. |
| 485 | - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle} |
| 486 | - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed. |
| 487 | Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later. |
| 488 | - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya. |
| 489 | - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker. |
| 490 | - realclean was duplicating work already done by clean |
| 491 | - Adding an explicit LICENSE |

| 493 | - ExtUtils::Install::uninstall() now has default verbose and |
| 494 | dont_execute arguments. |
| 495 | - Added some basic ExtUtils::Install tests |
| 496 | - Fixed ExtUtils::Install::install() for relative dirs |
| 497 | - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long |
| 498 | commands. |
| 499 | - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may |
| 500 | be pointless. |
| 501 | - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup. |
| 502 | - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants |
| 503 | - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle |
| 504 | bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking. |
| 505 | |
| 506 | 6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002 |
| 507 | - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in |
| 508 | a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen. |
| 509 | |
| 510 | 6.04 Mon Aug 26 18:31:11 PDT 2002 |
| 511 | - Little fix for pre-5.8 Cygwin test to get the shared library names |

| 523 | - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347) |
| 524 | - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347) |
| 525 | * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to |
| 526 | generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more |
| 527 | often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded. |
| 528 | - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending |
| 529 | diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod |
| 530 | * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ |
| 531 | - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669) |

| 555 | * WriteMakefile now a bit more tolerant of wrong arguments, it will |
| 556 | warn and try to soldier on rather than just vomiting. |
| 557 | - Netware whitespace nits (bleadperl@16811) |
| 558 | - Netware Perl version number tag when building dynamic libraries |
| 559 | needs to match the current perl version instead of being hard coded |

| 754 | 5.53_02 Fri Mar 29 04:47:44 EST 2002 |
| 755 | - Adjusted for Perl core. Synced into bleadperl. |
| 756 | |
| 757 | 5.53_01 Fri Mar 29 00:13:02 EST 2002 |
| 758 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
| 759 | - Removed duplicate NAME macro definition |
| 760 | - Fixed makemakerdflt target for VMS |
| 761 | * bleadperl@11460 introduced a bug with recursive Makefile.PL's not |
| 762 | having '.' in @INC. PDL should build now. |
| 763 | * MANIFEST.SKIP only working on file names, not full relative paths. |
| 764 | Only since 5.51_01 (RT 413) |
| 765 | * make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 was busted by 5.50_01 (RT 423) |
| 766 | * Error messages from dying Makefile.PL's and hint files were |
| 767 | accidentally supressed in 5.48_04. Fixed. |
| 768 | * Makefile.PL's are supposed to be run in package main. 5.48_04 |
| 769 | broke this. Fixed. |
| 770 | * Fixing installing on VMS. |
| 771 | |
| 772 | 5.52_01 Tue Mar 26 00:24:26 EST 2002 |
| 773 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
| 774 | * ActivePerl 5.6.1/build 631 now 100% |
| 775 | - Fixed some SelfLoader warnings |
| 776 | * ExtUtils::MM_Win32 not subclassed off of ExtUtils::MM_Any properly |
| 777 | - Bug in local $ENV{FOO} was causing failures in MM_Win32 tests. |
| 778 | Compensating for the bug. |
| 779 | - $Config{prefixexp} is sometimes bad on ActivePerl, compensating |
| 780 | - Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests |
| 781 | |
| 782 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
| 783 | - Expanding Known Good list |
| 784 | - Adding Known Programs to README |
| 785 | |
| 786 | 5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002 |
| 787 | [[ API Changes ]] |
| 788 | - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not |
| 789 | Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded. |
| 790 | - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should |
| 791 | not be updated. |
| 792 | - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker. |
| 793 | Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark. |
| 794 | |
| 795 | [[ New Features ]] |
| 796 | * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory. |
| 797 | |
| 798 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
| 799 | * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS |
| 800 | * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler |
| 801 | version installed |
| 802 | * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS |
| 803 | * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most |
| 804 | of the tests from running. |
| 805 | - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218) |
| 806 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir |
| 807 | - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch. |
| 808 | - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch |
| 809 | (bleadperl@14978) |
| 810 | - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622, |
| 811 | 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367) |
| 812 | - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected. |
| 813 | - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib |
| 814 | instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but |
| 815 | it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic. |
| 816 | - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids |
| 817 | accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core. |
| 818 | - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN. |
| 819 | - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS. |
| 820 | - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex. |
| 821 | |
| 822 | 5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002 |
| 823 | [[ API Changes ]] |
| 824 | - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't |
| 825 | work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be |
| 826 | added sometime in the future (read: send a patch). |
| 827 | - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for |
| 828 | more than five years). |
| 829 | - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't |
| 830 | see how its useful outside the core. |
| 831 | |
| 832 | [[ New Features ]] |
| 833 | * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib |
| 834 | (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore). |
| 835 | - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not. |
| 836 | - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs |
| 837 | (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810) |
| 838 | |
| 839 | [[ Bug Fixes ]] |
| 840 | * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded |
| 841 | with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed. |
| 842 | * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class |
| 843 | methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker. |
| 844 | * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong. |
| 845 | - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780) |
| 846 | |
| 847 | [[ Doc Changes ]] |
| 848 | * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague |
| 849 | reflecting its odd behavior. |
| 850 | - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely |
| 851 | to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs. |
| 852 | - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs. |
| 853 | |
| 854 | [[ Internal Refactorings ]] |
| 855 | - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any |
| 856 | - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any |
| 857 | * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners" |
| 858 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix. |
| 859 | * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix |
| 860 | - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2. |
| 861 | - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist() |
| 862 | - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible |
| 863 | to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix. |
| 864 | |
| 865 | 5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002 |
| 866 | - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can |
| 867 | chdir without breaking @INC. |
| 868 | - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5. |
| 869 | - LLIBPERL was not being set. |
| 870 | - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D |
| 871 | or pipes STDIN to /dev/null. |
| 872 | - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check. |
| 873 | - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441) |
| 874 | |
| 875 | * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal |
| 876 | change. |
| 877 | - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary. |
| 878 | - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary. |
| 879 | - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 |
| 880 | is now an MM_Win32 subclass. |
| 881 | - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were |
| 882 | defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec |
| 883 | - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 |
| 884 | backporting |
| 885 | - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* |
| 886 | modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)" |
| 887 | - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. |
| 888 | They did this before, but in a round-about way. |
| 889 | - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead |
| 890 | @MM::ISA does that itself. |
| 891 | - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules. |
| 892 | - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have |
| 893 | explicitly required MM_Unix. |
| 894 | - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now |
| 895 | a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted. |
| 896 | - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir |
| 897 | with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster. |
| 898 | - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs. |
| 899 | - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker |
| 900 | to EU::MM. |
| 901 | - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted. |
| 902 | |
| 903 | 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002 |
| 904 | - No longer requiring Test::More |
| 905 | - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1 |
| 906 | - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs. |
| 907 | - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364) |
| 908 | * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available. |
| 909 | - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC. |
| 910 | No longer obsolete |
| 911 | - Little test fixes |
| 912 | |
| 913 | 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002 |
| 914 | * moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh |
| 915 | * Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to |
| 916 | work on Win32/5.6.1. |
| 917 | * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly. |
| 918 | * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed. |
| 919 | - Minor prereq error formatting glitch |
| 920 | - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a |
| 921 | thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1. |
| 922 | - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests |
| 923 | |
| 924 | 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002 |
| 925 | - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work. |
| 926 | |
| 927 | 5.48_01 Wed Jan 16 15:10:28 EST 2002 |
| 928 | * Adapted from bleadperl@14303 |
| 929 | * Backported to 5.6.1 |
| 930 | - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/ |
| 931 | - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm |
| 932 | ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report |
| 933 | back. Tests probably only need minor fixes. |
