- Updating package to 0.17
Upstream changes:
0.17 2009-03-10
- Make unicode test work on older Perls.
0.16 2009-03-09
- Add unicode test.
0.15 2009-03-09
- Add some logging to help diagnose smoke failures.
0.14 2009-03-07
- Croak if 4 char key string is not 8-bit clean. See #33672.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Pkgsrc changes:
- Provided HOMEPAGE.
- The package supports installation to DESTDIR.
- A C compiler is needed.
- The "Configure" script has been removed, so we do not have tell it to use
defaults (part of patch-aa) or change its stdin in MAKE_PARAMS anymore.
- sharelite.c has been renamed upstream, no more need to do this in pkgsrc,
thus making patch-aa and patch-ab obsolete.
Changes since version 0.09:
===========================
0.13 2008-03-09
- Fixed patching of double quoted strings in Makefile. Affects Win32
and, probably, VMS.
0.12 2008-02-25
- Use Devel::CheckLib to verify that we have a C compiler.
0.11 2008-02-25
- Removed POD coverage test. Dynamic constants make it flaky.
0.10 2008-02-24
- Use Perl's malloc wrappers
- moved test into t/sharelite.t
- made test use Test::More
- removed Configure mechanism
- assorted minor tidying
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
IPC::ShareLite provides a simple interface to shared memory, allowing
data to be efficiently communicated between processes.
It provides an abstraction of the shared memory and semaphore facilities
of SysV IPC, allowing the storage of arbitrarily large data; the module
automatically acquires and removes shared memory segments as needed.
Storage and retrieval of data is atomic, and locking functions are
provided for higher-level synchronization.
In many respects, this module is similar to IPC::Shareable. However,
IPC::ShareLite does not provide a tied interface, does not (automatically)
allow the storage of variables, and is written in C for additional speed.
