- Fixed INSTALLDIRS to account for the @INC reordering change in Perl 5.12.
See Perl RT#116479 for details. (Text-Balanced entered the perl core in
Perl 5.7.1 so that's what the lower bound of the check should strictly be,
but since we only support Perl 5.8.1 and higher anyway we do not need to
check the lower bound. The upper bound is correctly Perl 5.11.0 since the
@INC reordering change in question (Perl core commit #b9ba2fadb1) first
appeared in Perl 5.11.0.)
- Removed superfluous loading of SelfLoader. [<nick@ccl4.org>, CPAN
RT#85572]
- Minor documentation patch. [<whatever@davidnicol.com>, CPAN RT#52623]
- Typo fixes. [<dsteinbrunner@pobox.com>, CPAN RT#85373]
- Added optional Changes testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING).
- Reformatted Changes file as per CPAN::Changes::Spec.
- Added optional POD coverage testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING).
- Added optional Perl::Critic testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING).
- Made code Perl::Critic clean.
- Included GitHub repository URLs in metadata now that source code has been
uploaded to GitHub.
- Included META.json file in addition to META.yml.
- Set minimum required ExtUtils::MakeMaker version to 6.64 to ensure that
all parameters used are supported, to save jumping through hoops to
support earlier versions. (This should not be a problem since
ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.64 is easily installed into Perl 5.8.1 and above,
that being the whole point of the new choice of minimum supported Perl
version.)
- Set minimum required Perl version to 5.8.1. This is in line with the
minimum requirement of the "Perl Toolchain".
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.
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.
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!
pkgsrc changes:
- Adding license information
- Adjusting dependencies (remove all) according to META.yml
Upstream changes:
2.02 Thu 20 Jul 2009
- Fixed the mixed "Damian Conway <adamk@cpan.org>" AUTHOR setting.
For the record, I am NOT the author, I'm just the maintainer.
Unfortunately, Makefile.PL does not have a MAINTAINER setting and
this way all the emails about this module come to me.
2.01 Tue 28 Jul 2009
- Taken over by Adam Kennedy to move it to a long-term maintenance mode
- Removing use warnings to restore 5.005 compatibility
- Removing Module::Build for higher back-compatibility
- Removing version.pm for higher back-compatibility
- use Exporter -> use Exporter () to avoid some pathalogical cases
- Upgraded the bundled author tests to be friendlier
- Changes order now a more normal reverse chronological
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:
- Package supports installation to DESTDIR.
- New requirement p5-version.
- Added HOMEPAGE

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.

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.
