Revision history for ExtUtils-Install

1.54

This is a "no-change" version bump because I pushed the v1.53 change and then realized that MakeMaker.t was a bad name for a file that would end up in core where the EUMM tests and the EUI tests are in the same directory. This renames it to InstallWithMM.t.

1.53

Final stage of the divorce from EUMM. Now the EUMM related tests are no longer shared. Build.pl and Build.t go, and there shall be peace on earth. At least until somebody patches EUMM/t/basic.t for something EUI related...

Thanks to M. Schwern for helping me work this one out. Cheers man.

1.52_03

Missed the t/Installed.t test from core. Bumped version number to allow a new distro to be released.

1.52_02

Make _chmod verbose message use octal modes, thanks to BDFOY

Further changes from core, including lastest test file infrastructure from EUMM.

Fixed a number of problems in ExtUtils::Installed, for various reasons this includes a version bump to 1.999_001, which will eventually become version 2.0. These problems related to finding modules that were installed with either INSTALL_BASE or PREFIX. Hopefully this resolves these issues.

1.52_01 (core only release)

ExtUtils::Install VMS extended character set support

Preview from https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=42149

1.52

Production rerelease of 1.51 to make the CPAN indexer happy about permissions (hopefully).

SVN Revision 44.

1.51

Production release of 1.50_05. No other changes.

SVN revision 43.

1.50_05

SVN revision 42.

Fix broken test as reported by Craig Berry.

1.50_04

SVN revision 41.

Restructure tests to make it easier to maintain given it is distributed in various ways in three different packages.

1.50_03

SVN revision 40.

Sigh, just after i released 1.50_02 I noticed that a test modified in it will fail under VMS. So this is a fixup release for that alone.

1.50_02

SVN revision 39.

Synchronize with the changes that were made in blead perl patch #33567. VMS changes by Craig Berry. See

http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33567

This was marked in the pod as 1.51 but not actually version bumped.

So I've marked it as 1.50_02 as a test release prior to putting it out as the real 1.51

This release also restores the missing installed.t which was accidentally missed by the MANIFEST having a duplicate entry for install.t instead. Probably something should have warned about this, but I haven't worked out what.

Includes changes from Activestate/ActivePerl:

• To make installation less chatty when not under verbose mode. See

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=5903

• To install HTML documentation files under builds that set $Config{installhtmldir} (and presumably also create HTML versions of the pod -- which is quite nice actually :-)

http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37727

1.50_01

Version only released as part of bleadperl added in revision #33566. Cygwin related changes by Steve Hay, and others, see

http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33566

and discussion at

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2008-03/msg00056.html

1.50

Previous patches to havewrite_access() were causing problems on Cygwin. So now we skip using POSIX::access under cygwin. Also added some =pod directives to make my favorite editor highlight the pod properly.

1.49

Turns out that the new can_write_dir.t doesnt work properly under root as root can read the files regardless as to their mode. So we skip those tests when the effective UID is 0 indicating root.

1.48

We were getting N/A test results from CPAN testers due to the presence of Config in the prequisities list. This has been corrected.

Also it was pointed out that EU_ALWAYS_COPY did not follow the naming convention of other ExtUtils::Install environment variables. It has been renamed EU_INSTALL_ALWAYS_COPY. Support remains for the original deprecated environment variable but it will be removed in 1.50.

1.47

Fix build process so a new META.YML is produced each time. Also add support for a new argument syntax to install() as well as support for always copying installed files even when the old file was identical. This is needed for some bundling mechanisms and can be activated by setting the environment variable EU_ALWAYS_COPY before the install process starts.

Add a newer cleaner interface to install() to allow named parameters and easier external monitoring of what transpired.

1.46 2008-03-01 12:42:35

Apply patches from Michael G. Schwern (rt #33688, rt #31429, rt #31248) and from Slaven Rezic (rt #33290). Also implemented the suggestion from Schwern about not dieing when failing to remove a shadow file that is later on in INC than the installed version. (rt #2928)

1.45 2008-02-27 13:55:27

Fix rt.cpan.org #32813, use catpath() to attach volume name to dirs in canwrite_dir() when necessary to avoid cygwin builds doing a hostname lookup.

1.44 2007-09-09 23:12:25

by Schwern

*** MAJOR BUG FIX ***

install() would always try to uninstall different versions of the installed files when $uninstall_shadows was given whether it was true or false. This meant "make install" and "Build install" would both always try to uninstall differing versions of the modules. [rt.cpan.org 28672]

1.43 2007-07-21 00:09:24

Turns out some recent version, I haven't figured out which, causes ExtUtils::MakeMaker to fail test. The failure is actually bogus, EUMM is testing for output that we stopped producing except under verbose, however it is a pain, so this release fixes the problem. It also adds a new test file, a stripped down version of ExtUtils::MakeMakers t/basic.t.

1.42 2007-07-20 22:43:04

This is just 1.41_04 as a production release.

1.41_04 2007-07-07 16:52:40

Reorganize how things work in Install so that we don't try to create directories which exist but are not writable to us when they contain files which we want to install which are writable by us. http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=25627

Also fix a VMS issue as recommended by Craig Berry. http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=22157

1.41_03 2007-02-11 15:13

Add an extra_libs parameter to ExtUtils::Installed->new() which allows one to specify additional libs to search for installed modules.

Additional code cleanup and tweaks.

1.41_02 2007-02-03 21:10

Fix bug in canwrite_file().

1.41_01 2007-02-02 21:03

Integrated changes from

1. Steffen Mueller: make ExtUtils::Installed respect PERL5LIB and allow overriding the current config and inc with something else.
2. Michael Schwern (RT#21949, RT#21948): Fix use lib and installdirs and other EU::MakeMaker related changes.
3. ActiveState (RT#5903): Reduce install verbosity.
4. Craig Berry (RT#22157): Fix VMS related install failure.
5. Ken Williams (RT#16225): Make fake uninstall actually fake.

1.41 2006-07-02 16:09

Integrated ExtUtils::Packlist changes from Nicholas Clark to allow for relocatable perls. Bumped version numbers on all files.

1.40 2006-04-30 15:04

Enhanced errorcatching and reporting. Fixed a problem with the INSTALL.SKIP file. Changed the Makefile.PL so that when installing it would not use the same stuff it was replacing. This doesn't affect building with Module::Build currently.

Removed META.yml from distribution.

1.39 2006-04-14 18:53

• Fixed problem with the META.yml file being produced from a Win32 point of view. IMO this is an error/failing in the design of the META.yml process. META.yml should be created on the client side not on the distributor side. Now produces a platform agnostic (ie UNIXy) META.yml.
• Reversed order of change file so newest entries go on top.

1.38 2006-04-02 17:31

• Removed MANIFEST.SKIP support (INSTALL.SKIP still supported), and added support for providing a fallback skip file by using ENV{EU_INSTALL_SITE_SKIP} as a fallback if there is not a distribution specific skip file.
• Released under the ExtUtils-Install-1.38 Name

1.3702 2006-03-19 16:54

• Added support for skipping files during install based on a set of filter rules. If there is an INSTALL.SKIP in the current directory when doing an install then it is loaded, otherwise if there is a MANIFEST.SKIP then it is loaded. If neither exists then no filtration occurs. The env variable EU_INSTALL_IGNORE_SKIP may be set to a true value to override this behaviour. This means that you can make .svn directories be ignored on install.

1.3701 2006-03-13 20:00

• Integrated patch from Randy Sims.
  1. Fixes error during `perl Makefile.PL` because it MakeMaker can't find the NAME section describing DISTNAME (which has the 'ex-' prefix).
  2. Win32API::File is recommended on MSWin32 && cygwin.
  3. Under Perl5.005, ExtUtils::MM is not present in the version of MakeMaker included. I don't know what version first includes it. Needs research or better: eliminate need for it.
  4. Test::More is bundled with the distro for its test suite. This would be needed on Perl5.005, for example. It was listed as a requirement, but the directory it's bundled in is not in @INC when prereqs are checked. I removed the prereq from Build.PL & Makefile.PL. Other options: 1) fixup @INC to include t/lib; or 2) unbundle and add back to prereqs.
  5. Update t/pod.t t/pod-coverage fixup of @INC so it can find bundled Test::More.
• Fixed pod/coverage related issues.
• When trying to schedule a delete at reboot after renaming a dll out of the way no error occurs if Win32API::File isn't available. Instead it merely warns that the file should be hand deleted.
• Fixed install at reboot behaviour by making sure the temporar file is writable after install (normally files installed are readonly)

1.37 2006-03-12 23:20

• Refactored reboot support. Integrated changes from Randy Sims in p5p message 4413F4E9.7090802@thepierianspring.org

1.36 2006-03-11 12:42

• Extended Win32 support. Added ExtUtils::Install::MUST_REBOOT to handle such scenario when rebooting.
• Released as ex-ExtUtils-Install by demerphq

1.35 Wed Feb 1 23:00:00 CST 2006

• First independent release; Extracted ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Installed, & ExtUtils::Packlist from MakeMaker.
• Changed the $VERSION of all modules to the same version number, a number higher than all $VERSIONs.
