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 - Recognizing comments with leading whitespace in MANIFESTs better. - Small ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid problem on VMS (Craig Berry) * Fixed "make install UNINST=1". Appears to have been broken somewhere around 6.06_01. - Documented the fourth argument to ExtUtils::Install::install() - install() will now honor a PERL5LIB change between ExtUtils::Install loading and install() running when uninstalling shadows. - META.yml generation deals gracefully when the MANIFEST is read-only (Slaven rt.cpan.org 2723) - Fixing tests on limited dir depth VMS systems by moving the dummy-install dir one level up (Craig Berry rt.cpan.org 2747) 6.10_04 Fri May 23 01:13:04 PDT 2003 - Working around BSD threaading bug in version check. [from bleadperl] - Added the Makefile to the dist dependencies. (Slaven Rezic) - Reversing the find_perl() version check failure warning introced in 6.10_03. Too talkative, warned when nothing was wrong. * Fixing META.yml auto-addition when there's no newline at the end of the MANIFEST [rt.cpan.org 2444] * Making it a bit more obvious in the MANIFEST where META.yml comes from. - Fixed $_ clobbering in ExtUtils::Manifest functions. - [rt.cpan.org 2591] some LD_RUN_PATH thing (Marek Rouchal) - Added core.\d+ files to 'make clean' [rt.cpan.org 2543] (Slaven Rezic) - INST_* targets were expanded too early (Stas Bekman) - Adding ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes (bytes.pm backwards compat wrapper) - Fixing MM_MacOS so it will compile on 5.5.x machines (use bytes wrapper) * Reducing perldepend set of CORE/*.h dependencies to what 5.5.3 has. 5.5.3 should be able to compile XS again. * Eliminating fakethr.h and perlsfio.h from VMS's perldepend as they sometimes don't get installed. - ExtUtils::Install was making a few directories even with the "don't really do it" switch on (Slaven Rezic) * can build static linked perl binaries again. Probably damaged in 6.06_01 when $self->{MAKEFILE} became FIRST_MAKEFILE. (Nick Clark) 6.10_03 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003 * Added NO_META WriteMakefile() option to suppress generation of META.yml. (Spoon, rt.cpan.org 2359) - Spurious linebreak in uninstall_from_sitedirs on VMS (Craig Berry) * A bit after 6.05 man page names would come out as lib::Foo::Bar if the module name didn't contain a ::. Found with podulators. Fixed. * Skipping installation of RCS ,v files. * 'make ci' was busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. Fixed. (Andreas) - 'make test' was broken when there's no tests. Introduced in 6.06_03. (Stas Bekman) - Solving some directory depth problems in tests on oldish VMS systems. (Craig Berry) - Fixing MM_MacOS so it compiles on UTF-8 systems. (Jarkko) - Making find_perl() more talkative when the version check fails miserably. - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE on VMS so XS can compile again (Craig Berry) 6.10_02 Mon Apr 7 00:57:15 PDT 2003 * Removed 2>&1 experiment introduced in 6.10_01 for all non-Unixen except for OS/2. Thought Perl might emulate `... 2>&1`. It doesn't. Just on OS/2. 6.10_01 Sun Apr 6 19:31:42 PDT 2003 - Making install "Skip ... (unchanged)" message happen consistently - Checking file sizes as well as modification times when deciding to skip installing a file. - OS/2 was using $(RM) instead of $(RM_F) (Ilya) - OS/2 needs .dll removed on failed build (Ilya) - fixin() was assuming that rename() can overwrite the target (Ilya) - manifypods target was empty if there are no pods to manify. Put in at least $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) - Cygwin test to check for finding pod2man when building the perl core removed. No longer relevent. - Small fixes for dmake (Mattia Barbon) * Added "Reporting bugs" section to the PATCHING doc. - Minor bug in compile test missed ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid - Removing $(VERSION_FROM) from Makefile dependency. It was too annoying to rebuild the Makefile every time the module changed. Mentioned it in the FAQ instead. - Fixing PERL_ARCHIVE macro on VMS. Apparently it never appeared properly before. (Craig Berry) - Fixing ECHO on dmake. - Adding os_flavor() and os_flavor_is() - Making basic.t error output combine STDOUT & STDERR for easier reading. * ExtUtils::Manifest will now work case insensitively. - Fixed 'subroutine redefined' warnings in 00compile.t - Fixed it so typemaps are only looked for in the perl core library. * Hacking around VMS filesystem problems reconstructing package names from filenames in ExtUtils::Installed. (Jesper Naur) # There was no 6.06, I jumped straight to 6.10_XX because there's been # so much change between 6.05 and now. 6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003 - Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed... - AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a warning because of this. - hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC. A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC. Worked around. - Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef - compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/ 6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003 - Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS. - Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix} (OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}. - Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions - ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1 thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there. - ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler. * Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility. Missing since 5.6.1. - Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten command line lengths. - Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest - Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to eof() not honor tied handles. - Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was causing warnings when generating the Makefile. 6.06_03 Sat Mar 29 19:44:53 PST 2003 - Added AUTHOR and ABSTRACT_FROM info for ppd generation. - Added echo() method to portably echo text to a file. - Worked around 5.8.0 eval 'require Foo::Bar' bug causing MakeMaker to think modules weren't installed. - Modernized VMS doc_*_install targets - Changed some $(PERL) -e "print ..." code to use $(ECHO). - Replaced uses of Delete/NoLog/NoConfirm with $(RM_F) in MM_VMS - Fixed some duplicate macros making MMS happy. - Fixed $ExtUtils::MM_VMS::Revision. It was just the $VERSION before. - Fixed ExtUtils::Command::MM::perllocal_install(), uninstall(), warn_if_old_packlist(). * Pulling File::Spec::VMS::fixpath() and eliminate_macros() into MM_VMS as the new cannonical location. They never should have been in F::S in the first place. * ExtUtils::Command::eqtime() would truncate the file being equalized! Holdover from exclusive .exists usage. - Cleaned up hard coded 'echo' and '@' to $(ECHO) and $(NOECHO) - $(SAY) is now $(ECHO) on VMS - Moved rogue initializations from tools_other() to init_others() - Normalized MM_VMS's tools_other() to mostly use its superclass. - split_command() was off-by-one when calculating max command line lengths causing it to run over on VMS - made split_command() a bit smarter, taking into account some macro expansion - Fixed initialization of OBJECT, DISTNAME and LDFROM on VMS - Fixed *_install target uses of File::Spec. - Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::vmsish wrapper around vmsish so MM_VMS can be compiled on non-VMS machines. For testing. * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial about writing modules with MakeMaker. - Removed "always use h2xs" dogma. - Added compile & POD test * 'make distdir' now generates META.yml module meta-data file. Proof of concept. Have to syncronize with Module::Build. * Added maniadd() to ExtUtils::Manifest to add entries to the MANIFEST * ExtUtils::Command::chmod was not interpreting file permissions as octal. Also, docs & tests slightly wrong (thanks Stas Bekman). - ExtUtils::Install was hard coding blib/lib and blib/arch, unportable [perl #21526] 6.06_02 Mon Dec 23 20:39:57 PST 2002 * Lots of Win32 fixes busted between 6.05 and 6.06_01. * split_command() tests still not happy on Win32. Problems with shell vs Makefile escaping makes testing difficult. * VMS still broken. Need to convert File::Spec method calls back to object method calls so the weird FS::VMS->eliminate_macros() and fixpath() work again. 6.06_01 Thu Dec 19 00:14:49 PST 2002 - Andreas found that when building the core it is desirable for MakeMaker to use a relative path to perl. - File::Spec->catfile() has a bug where the resulting file may not be canonicalized. This was causing problems when generating manpaths. MakeMaker now uses its own fixed override for catfile(). - Fixed the POD recognition regex to properly catch /=head\d/ tags. * Added a PATCHING guideline document. - Updated the class hierarchy in NOTES. - Installed.t now cleans up after itself better. - Steve Purkis rewrote the manifypods system to use Pod::Man rather than pod2man. Its now portable and manifypods() moved from MM_Unix to MM_Any. As a result, lots of icky and redudant code went away. This also removes the POD2MAN macro, but noone should be using that. - "make manifypods" now works on Win32 - "make manifypods" is now be faster - Made MM_Unix->find_perl more portable. Eliminated MM_Win32->find_perl override. MM_VMS->find_perl remains. * find_perl() can now handle filenames with spaces in them (RT448) * find_perl() on Win32 no longer produces spurious "File Creation error" messages (perlbug ID 20020709.001) - Removed unfinished and unused maybe_command_in_dirs() - Removed dead SelfLoader cruft from MM_Unix. - Fixed PPD generation when the ppd contains quotes (RT1473) - Fixed PPD generation on VMS - Moved Win9x specific subdir_x() code from MM_Unix to MM_Win95 * Craig Berry fixed hint files on VMS - Added the perl_onliner() method to generate portable, safe one-liners - Changing hardcoded $self->{MAKEFILE} to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE). * Rafael Garcia-Suarez made MakeMaker ignore Subversion control files by default. - Added MAKEFILE_OLD macro. * No longer generating man pages by default on VMS. - Improved DISTNAME docs * Documented DISTVNAME and VERSION_SYM * Documented dist() - Seperated dist_core() into dist, tardist, uutardist, tarfile, zipdist, zipfile and shdist_target methods. Allows elimination of redundant code in MM_VMS. - Replaced WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST, DOC_INSTALL and UNINSTALL one-liners with ExtUtils::Command::MM functions - Replaced VMS hand-rolled perl code for TOUCH, CHMOD, RM_F and RM_RF with ExtUtils::Command functions. Added TEST_F. - Adding clean_subdirs target and clean_subdirs_target() method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part of the clean target. - Defined DEV_NULL for MacOS - Removed ROOTEXT from MM_MacOS, apparently unused - Added $(DIRFILESEP) macro and init_DIRFILESEP to avoid hardcoding / or \. Reduces code duplication in the MM_* modules. - Added init_platform() and platform_constants() for OS specific macros. Moved OS specific macros from constants() overrides there. - Added init_VERSION() to setup various *VERSION* macros. - Added default wraplist() to make porting easier. - Added makemakerdflt_target() to guarantee 'all' is the default target. - Added special_targets() to handle things like .PHONY and make sure they come first. - Added init_linker() to initialize linker relatied macros. - MM_MacOS constants() disolves Moved MACPERL_SRC, MACPERL_LIB, MACPERL_INC from init_main() to init_platform(). Moved DEFINE and INC tweaking from constants() to init_main() Moved DEFINE_VERSION & XS_DEFINE_VERSION from constants() to init_VERSION(). Eliminated MODULES. Unused and its the same as TO_INST_PM Moved .INCLUDE from constants() to special_targets() - MM_NW5 constants() & init_others() disolves Moved LIBPTH, BASE_IMPORT, NLM_VERSION, MPKTOOL, TOOLPATH from init_others() to init_platform() Moved INCLUDE and PATH definitions from constants() to init_platform() Moved BOOT_SYMBOL, NLM_SHORT_NAME, PATH and INCLUDE from constants() to init_platform() - MM_Unix constants() goes on a diet Moved all macro definitions to init_* methods. Added MM_REVISION for completeness Using wraplist() instead of manual joining Moved .NO_CONFIG_REC, .SUFFIXES and .PHONY to special_targets() Moved makemakerdflt: to makemakerdeflt_target() Moved INST_{STATIC,DYNAMIC,BOOT} to init_INST() Moved EXPORT_LIST, PERL_ARCHIVE & PERL_ARCHIVE_AFTER to init_linker(). Moved PERL_MALLOC_DEF to init_platform() - MM_VMS constants() goes on a diet Moved DEFINE from constants() to init_main() Moved OBJECT & LDFROM from constants() to init_others() Moved MM_VMS_REVISION and PERL_VMS to init_platform Added MM_VMS_VERSION Moved DEFINE_VERSION, XS_DEFINE_VERSION and MAKEMAKER changes to init_VERSION Moved .SUFFIXES changes to special_targets() override. Eliminated $self->{PM_TO_BLIB}. Its redundant with $self->{PM}. constants() now consists only of fixpath() calls. - MM_Win32 constants() goes away Moved .USESHELL to special_targets() override. Everything else was redundant. - Added $(VERSION_FROM) to $(MAKEFILE) dependencies. Helpful for XS builds where the version number is very sensitive. - export_list(), perl_archive() and perl_archive_after() consolodated into init_linker(). - Added MM_NW5_VERSION, MM_Unix_VERSION, MM_Win32_VERSION, MM_VMS_VERSION. - Eliminated duplicate code in constants() overrides - Added all_target() for easier customization of what's run by default - Eliminated duplicate top_targets() overrides - Made tool_autosplit() method portable. Moved to MM_Any. Eliminated overrides. - Adding realclean_subdirs target and realclean_subdirs_target() method to generate same. This allows easier overriding of an unportable part of the realclean target. - Added oneliner() to create portable perl one-liners. - Craig Berry found some typos in ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid's VMS part * ExtUtils::Install did not work on MacPerl due to a hardcoded '.' * prompt() will now read from STDIN. - Craig Berry made sure extliblist() is always called even if LIBS is explicitly set to empty. * Added DESTDIR to make repacking easier. * $(*PREFIX) are returned to the INSTALL* variables. * Split $(PREFIX) into $(PERLPREFIX) and $(PREFIX). The former holds the location of the core libraries. The latter is the optional override prefix supplied by the user. * PREFIX overrides all other *PREFIXes when set in the Makefile.PL. This restores "make install PREFIX=foo". - Added quote_literal() to handle some shell quoting. - ExtUtils::MM_VMS now compilable on non-VMS platforms. - J. D. Laub made MakeMaker honor $Config{installstyle} - Renaming on OS/2 requires the target file to be removed. Partially fixed by Ilya, should be applied universally later. - Default MANIFEST.SKIP not catching files in subdirs. Fixed by Ilya. - Ilya fixed ExtUtils::Liblist->ext when called outside MakeMaker. - realclean was duplicating work already done by clean - Adding an explicit LICENSE - Cleaning up ExtUtils::Install docs. - ExtUtils::Install::uninstall() now has default verbose and dont_execute arguments. - Added some basic ExtUtils::Install tests - Fixed ExtUtils::Install::install() for relative dirs - Added split_command() and max_exec_len() to deal with long commands. - Seperated escape_newlines() from quote_literal(). This may be pointless. - pm_to_blib() now generated with split_command(). 3x speedup. - added init_dist() to initialize distribution constants - ExtUtils::Install::pm_to_blib() working around open filehandle bug in AutoSplit for systems with mandatory file locking. 6.05 Tue Aug 27 16:09:51 PDT 2002 - Output format of the hint file verbose diagnostic is now in a format native to the OS, so it broke a test on non-Unixen. 6.04 Mon Aug 26 18:31:11 PDT 2002 - Little fix for pre-5.8 Cygwin test to get the shared library names right. * disttest on Win9X broken because of forgotten tabs * WriteMakefile argument verification should now be accurate - Documented the LD flag. * Documented prompt() * vendor install was not adding to packlist or updating perllocal. - Supporting $Config{vendorarchexp} and $Config{vendorlibexp}. - Fixed conflict on VMS between logical names and directories (bleadperl 17488) - Fixed space-vs-tab bug on Netware (bleadperl 17579) - Mysterious NetWare fix from Ananth (bleadperl 17376) - Support OPTIMIZE in MacOS (bleadperl 17347) - Support hints in MacOS (mutation of bleadperl 17347) * Default man installation directories were using $(MAN*EXT) to generate the directory name. This turned out to be wrong more often than right, so we'll use man1 and man3 hard-coded. - Debian folks fixed the doc_install targets so the Appending diagnostic gives the correct directory for perllocal.pod * Added ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ - Quieted some warnings on MacOS (bleadperl 17669) 6.03 Wed Jun 19 17:06:14 EDT 2002 - Documented that we're clamping down on cargo-cult MakeMaker programming. - Eased up the parameter verification to leave errant values alone. - Doug MacEachern documented LDDLFLAGS and added to known parameters. - Possible fix for XS compiles on Cygwin for pre 5.8 perls. 6.02 Sat Jun 15 19:46:06 EDT 2002 - ExtUtils::Installed->modules() was broken in scalar context - Sync bleadperl 16922: Netware updates from Ananth Kesari. - Sync bleadperl 16922: MM_NW5 tests - Sync bleadperl 16938 & 16974: MM_MacOS->macify fixes from pudge. - Sync bleadperl 16989 & 16942: Small test fixes for MacPerl from pudge. - Improved WriteMakefile param verification to differenciate between parameters which don't exist and those that just take strings/numbers. [RT #707] * Documented TEST_VERBOSE 6.01 Thu May 30 14:48:57 EDT 2002 - MacOS Classic fixes from Pudge: recursive make repair, post_initialize() now used, DEFINE & INC work with relative paths, removed dead hybrid method/function call code. * WriteMakefile now a bit more tolerant of wrong arguments, it will warn and try to soldier on rather than just vomiting. - Netware whitespace nits (bleadperl@16811) - Netware Perl version number tag when building dynamic libraries needs to match the current perl version instead of being hard coded (a mutation of bleadperl@16851) - OS/2 bug in TEST_F target found by John Poltorak (bleadperl@16839) - README in 6.00 still declared this as alpha. 6.00 Sat May 25 17:14:09 EDT 2002 - VMS 8-level limit test tweak (bleadperl@16764) * Here goes nothing. 5.96_01 Wed May 22 19:11:09 EDT 2002 - Fixed ExtUtils::testlib so it doesn't taint @INC. - Fixed ExtUtils::Command so it groks % shell wildcard on VMS.

[[ Bug Fixes ]] * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler version installed * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most of the tests from running. - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218) - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch. - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch (bleadperl@14978) - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622, 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367) - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected. - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic. - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core. - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN. - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS. - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex. 5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002 [[ API Changes ]] - htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed.

Temporarily fixed. * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker. * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong. - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780) [[ Doc Changes ]] * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague reflecting its odd behavior. - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs. - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs. [[ Internal Refactorings ]] - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners" * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix. * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2. - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist() - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix. 5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002 - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can chdir without breaking @INC. - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5. - LLIBPERL was not being set. - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D or pipes STDIN to /dev/null. - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check. - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441) * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal change. - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary. - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary. - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95 is now an MM_Win32 subclass. - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03 backporting - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_* modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)" - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix. They did this before, but in a round-about way. - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead @MM::ISA does that itself. - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules. - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have explicitly required MM_Unix. - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted. - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster. - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs. - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker to EU::MM. - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted. 5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002 - No longer requiring Test::More - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1 - Stripped out $Revision based $VERSIONs. - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364) * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available. - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC. No longer obsolete - Little test fixes 5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002 * moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh * Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to work on Win32/5.6.1. * Bug on Win32. MAKEMAKER variable not set properly. * _02 broke hints files. Now fixed. - Minor prereq error formatting glitch - ExtUtils::testlib no longer a thin wrapper around blib, now a thin wrapper around lib like it was. blib is noisy on 5.6.1. - Nick and chromatic found and fixed some warnings in the tests 5.48_02 Wed Jan 16 19:11:26 EST 2002 - Fixed some Win32 warnings. Needs more work. 5.48_01 Wed Jan 16 15:10:28 EST 2002 * Adapted from bleadperl@14303 * Backported to 5.6.1 - inst and xsubpp moved out of lib/ and into bin/ - ExtUtils::testlib obsoleted. Now a thin wrapper around blib.pm ***--> Non-Unix platforms not tested at all! Please test and report back. Tests probably only need minor fixes.
