Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
Revision history for perl pragma common::sense.
3.72 Wed Jul 31 19:44:18 CEST 2013
- install paths were wrong for current MakeMaker (reported
by various people).
3.71 Wed Jul 31 02:34:48 CEST 2013
- CPAN failed to parse the version number in 3.7, try to work
around.
3.7 Wed Jul 31 01:26:50 CEST 2013
- move pod to separate file, to further improve loading times.
- make it arch-specific, adding a test that warns when an old
version is still installed.
- due to a logic glitch, warnings were not enabled at all on 5.16.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
3.6 Sun Jun 17 14:24:53 CEST 2012
- work around more 5.16 breakage - $^H doesn't work as nicely as
p5p make you to believe.
- add features: unicode_strings current_sub fc evalbytes.
- disable features: array_base.
3.5 Wed Mar 7 20:50:48 CET 2012
- localise $^W, as this causes warnings with 5.16 when some lost
soul uses -w. common::sense doesn't support $^W, but tries to
shield module authors and programs from its ill effects. If you
enable $^W, then you normally get to keep the pieces because you
change semantics of other people's code.
* remove "regexp" category. this is rather painful as it's a large class, but
unfortunately, somebody thought emitting a warning when you match more than
32kb of text is in some way useful, which spoils the whole category.
* use META.json instead of META.yml - apparently YAML parsers don't actually
exist
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
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=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
Upstream changes:
3.3 Fri Jul 2 22:40:14 CEST 2010
- removed "exiting" category - this is too useful to create new
control statements, and fails utterly with eval, as eval will
catch the (fatal) warning itself. Kind of hurts, but this is
just another warning category which is too broad and has to be
disabled fully because of a minority of issues.
Upstream changes:
3.2 Fri Apr 16 01:46:02 CEST 2010
- removed "substr" warning - while it overall is a good category,
"substr '', 2" is entirely sensible.
Upstream changes:
3.1 Sat Apr 3 04:56:36 CEST 2010
- removed "parenthesis" warning:
sysread $fh, my $buf, -s $fh; # ok
sysread $fh, my $buf, $size; # warning
Made no sense to me, especially as $size is in scope.
- no longer hardcode warning/struct bits, calculate them at
installation time, for when I will no longer be alive etc.
- tweaked documentation.
Upstream changes:
3.0 Tue Dec 15 03:24:28 CET 2009
- enable "use utf8" effect by default.
- removed "utf8" warning category. while this contains useful security
stuff, it also makes implementing security stuff almost impossible,
as it completely mangles perls internal utf8 encoding with actual
utf-8 encoding, and confuses "unicode", "string codepoints" and
"utf-8" so much that it becoems practically unusable.
2.03 Wed Dec 2 18:38:53 CET 2009
- removed "unopened" warning category, as this breaks "stat _", which
seems to be a bug in all perl versions (see perlbug #71002).
- some doc updates.
Upstream changes:
2.02 Wed Nov 4 12:04:08 CET 2009
- no functional changes.
- add META.yml clarification to the faq, tune the docs a bit
and add a "much reduced typing" section.
- unfortunately, the tone of the manpage has tightened and is
more serious in many parts now. We consider this a bug that we
plan to fix before 2100.
2.01 Mon Oct 5 17:01:48 CEST 2009
- add a FAQ section.
- use a more future-proof way to set the warning mask.
Upstream changes:
2.0 Tue Sep 1 20:28:25 CEST 2009
- codename "fatality", now with big doses of... fatality.
- enabled an enourmous number of warnings and made them FATAL,
as warned about in earlier releases. Of course we carefully
tested the new warnings against our modules, as mentioned
in the manpage, too.
Upstream changes:
1.0 Sat Aug 22 22:08:50 CEST 2009
- no functional changes.
- really, the first version of common sense!
- slightly improved documentation.
- forgot to include license.
scheduled import of p5-EV-3.7
This module implements some sane defaults for Perl programs, as defined
by two typical (or not so typical - use your common sense) specimens of
Perl coders.
