| 1 | Patching instructions for ExtUtils::CBuilder |
| 2 | |
| 3 | 1. Check for any changes to .pm files since dev or stable Perl release. E.g. |
| 4 | to check for changes since v5.15.8: |
| 5 | |
| 6 | $ cd dist/ExtUtils-CBuilder |
| 7 | $ git log v5.15.8..blead -- . |
| 8 | |
| 9 | 2. If you are making the first change since the last Perl release, you need to |
| 10 | bump the $VERSION in all .pm files and update the Changes file with the new |
| 11 | version. In the Changes file, put the expected *NEXT* release of Perl (dev or |
| 12 | stable) as the release date and version. E.g. after v5.15.8, I added this line |
| 13 | to Changes to indicate what will be next release: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 0.280206 - 2012-03-20 (Perl v5.15.9) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 3. Add an entry to Changes for your work |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 4. Update Makefile.PL, MANIFEST.SKIP or other support files as necessary. E.g. |
| 20 | update Makefile.PL with any changes to prerequisites. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | 5. Commit all changes (preferably to a branch) |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 6. Run Configure/make/make test and check for errors. If there are any, fix them. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | 7. If all is well, push your commits to blead or send a patch to p5p if you do |
| 27 | not have commit access to the Perl 5 repository |
