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.

Re-point HOMEPAGE into search.cpan.org.
Add dependence on the factored-out p5-Business-ISBN-Data package.
A number of the tests fail due to now-invalid publisher codes, but
I beleive this is due to outdated test data (reported to module
maintainer).
Change log:
(yes, no mention of changes in 1.78 proper, and also no 1.61-1.67 log entries)
1.77 - Wed Oct 27 02:39:17 2004
* removed Business::ISBN::Data, which is now a separate module so you
can update the data without updating the rest of the stuff. Previously,
CPAN.pm would install Business::ISBN::Data as a prerequisite, and this
distribution would come along and overwrite it with old data. That
was a bad thing.
1.76 - Fri Oct 8 16:12:51 2004
* somehow this module went missing from CPAN, so here it is again
* no need to upgrade if you have the previous version
1.74 - Thu Sep 2 17:17:20 2004
* another distro fix: some documentation cleanups, and the README is
now in MANIFEST. You do not need to upgrade if you already have
installed this module.
1.73 - Thu Sep 2 16:21:10 2004
* this is a distro fix only. if you already have Business::ISBN, you
don't need this
1.72 - Wed Feb 11 16:18:30 2004
* removed errant File::Find::Rule use
* Check for modules in png_barcode before require-ing them
1.71 - Wed Jan 28 13:00:38 2004
* added xISBN support
* removed File::Find::Rule, Test::Pod, Test::Prereq dependencies
1.69 Thu Sep 5 01:18:26 CDT 2002
- documentation fixes - that's it
1.68 Wed Sep 4 15:51:29 CDT 2002
- converted to Test::More
- fixed ean_to_isbn to handle new EAN prefix 979
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
- fixed some -w dirty internals
- there was an error in test.pl that failed to identify a bug. the
constructor was always setting $obj->is_valid to BAD_CHECKSUM.
- fixed -w dirty line in is_valid_checksum
- fixed problem parsing ISBNs without valid country codes which would
cause an infinite loop.
- added symbolic constants to replace magic return values.
- fixed is_valid_checksum which would issue warnings if the string was
less than ten characters
- added a test.pl which still needs more tests to reach all of the code.
- version 1.5 fixed some bugs with checksums
- version 1.51 has a few minor doc fixes
Package provided by Dieter Baron.
This perl module allows validation and manipulation of International
Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs).
It allows for the calculation/validation of the checksum, extraction
of country and publisher codes, and conversion to/from European
Article Numbers (EANs).
