Released
Added devel/p5-Cache-FastMmap version 1.26
Added devel/p5-parent version 0.221

A shared memory cache through an mmap'ed file. Its core is written
in C for performance. It uses fcntl locking to ensure multiple
processes can safely access the cache at the same time. It uses
a basic LRU algorithm to keep the most used entries in the cache.
This module gives direct access to some of the internal Perl routines
that let you store things in arrays and hashes. The following
functions are available:
av_store(@array, $index, $value)
Stores $value in @array at the specified $index. After executing
this call, $array[$index] and $value denote the same thing.
av_push(@array, $value)
Pushes $value onto the @array. After executing this call,
$array[-1] and $value denote the same thing.
hv_store(%hash, $key, $value);
Stores $value in the %hash with the given $key. After executing
this call, $hash{$key} and $value denote the same thing.
Allows you to both load one or more modules, while setting up
inheritance from those modules at the same time. Mostly similar in
effect to:
package Baz;
BEGIN {
require Foo;
require Bar;
push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
}
* [r28] lib/Array/Compare.pm: Increment version number
* [r27] Build.PL: Fix prerequisites
* [r26] lib/Array/Compare.pm: Require Perl 5.6 so we can use
warnings and our.
Handles the installing and uninstalling of perl modules, scripts,
man pages, etc...
Both install() and uninstall() are specific to the way ExtUtils::MakeMaker
handles the installation and deinstallation of perl modules. They
are not designed as general purpose tools.
2.011 17 May 2008
* IO::Uncompress::Unzip
- Print an error message if the zip file contains a
member compressed with bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 is
not available.
- Could not cope with mixed compression zip files. For example a
zip file that contains both STORED and DEFLATED content.
[RT #35573]
2.010 5 May 2008
* Fixed problem that meant Perl 5.10 could not upgrade this module.
[RT #35343]
2.009 20 April 2008
* IO::Compress::Zip
- Added exUnix2 option to allow storing of UID & GID.
- When running on a Unix derivative the ExtAttr option now defaults
to the equivalent of 0666. For all other systems the default
remains 0.

#========================================================================
# Version 1.66 Date: 2007/07/06 (Andy Wardley)
#========================================================================
* Removed File::HomeDir from the test scripts.
Version 6.00 17.02.2008
+ Oops. Fixed version number. '5.10' is less than '5.9'. I thought
CPAN would handle this but apparently not..
Version 5.10 10.01.2008
+ Removed the circular dependency on Object::Deadly. It was only
used for testing and would only succeed if you already had O::D
installed.
0.69 Sun 3 Feb 2008
- No changes, incrementing for production release
0.68_01 Tue 22 Jan 2008
- Fixed folder detection on Darwin so that symlinks that resolve to
directories are considered valid folders. Patch from David Wheeler.
0.67 Thu 6 Dec 2007
- No functional changes, no need to upgrade.
- Upgrading to Module::Install 0.68
- Updating bundled author tests
0.66 Sat 25 Aug 2007
- No functional changes, no need to upgrade.
(This release attempts to regain 100% CPAN Testers results)
- Spurious failures on some path-levels of 5.9.0 due to a warnings
bug regression. Skip the relevant test on Perl 5.9.0.
- Remove a -w flag in 02_main.t so test run under tainting
2.15 Tue Apr 1 2008
- Add missing entries for Config.pm in recent perls
- Install in core location for perl >= 5.8.9 (Jerry D. Hedden)
2.14 Mon Mar 17 2008
corelist changes:
- Add a new -d option to find first perl version by date
and not by version number
- Better handling of perl versions that end with a 0
- use version.pm only for version numbers that have multiple dots
- Fix tag for 5.00405 (Sam Vilain)
2.13 Tue Dec 18 2007
- Add data for perl 5.10.0
0.74 Mon 26 May 2008
- Fix incorrect comparison of module and distribution names (RJBS)
- Allow "require" instead of "use" when finding required perl version (RJBS)
- Remove the -f Build.PL check, as it was breaking people trying to
convert from M:B to M:I or vice versa (MSTROUT)
0.73 Wed 14 May 2008 - Adam Kennedy
- Aggressively increase dependencies for authors to make sure
all the latest release-time tricks will work properly. (ADAMK)
- When generating META.yml where there is an overall Perl version
dependency, add a test for unversioned core dependencies that
MUST already be satified by the Perl dependency. (ADAMK)
- Merged Module::Install MANIFEST.SKIP into the repository
default MANIFEST.SKIP file, and deleted the M:I one (ADAMK)
0.72 Tue 15 Apr 2008 - Adam Kennedy
- exit(0) on requires_external_bin to make it a real NA (ADAMK)
- Change docs to recommend the use of test_requires instead
of build_requires. They do the same thing now, but this may
change in the future and in that case better people use
test_requires now as it is a more accurate description of
intent. Also, it reads clearer. (ADAMK)
- Removed the command prompt_script, it did some unusual magic
and it easy enough to replace with 2 lines of code in the
Makefile.PL of anyone using it anyway (ADAMK)
- Merged the remaining install_script into Metadata.pm (ADAMK)
- Adding documentation about the configure_requires command (ADAMK)
- Automatically add any install_share directory to no_index (ADAMK)
- Check scripts passed to install_script actually exist (ADAMK)
- Allow install_script('foo') to be shorthand for
install_script('script/foo') if no root 'foo' file exists.
This should allow for yet more typing reduction (ADAMK)
- For even more typing reduction, "use inc::Module::Install"
now acts as an implicit "use strict", so you don't need to
use strict in Makefile.PL (ADAMK)
- Fixed a regex bug in name_from (and thus all_from) (ADAMK)
0.71 Mon 24 Mar 2008 - Adam Kennedy
- YAML::Tiny is now good enough to use exclusively (ADAMK)
- Converted Changes file to my normal format, so that my release
automation can deal with it properly (ADAMK)
- Added name_from to auto-detect name, and include name_from in
all_from, so now no name line is needed at all in the
Makefile.PL (ADAMK)
- Removed the redundant Module::Install::Makefile::Name and
Module::Install::Makefile::Version, they were almost never
used and were a bit too magic. (ADAMK)
- Adding a "wrote" flag to the M:I object in preparation for
making WriteAll implicit by default (ADAMK)
- Correcting 01_compile.t to check for 5.004 instead of 5.005
(ADAMK)
- Added Module::Install::_version to numify CPAN-like versions
properly (ADAMK)
- Split TestHelper out as it's own t/lib/Test module (ADAMK)
- Upgrade from File::Path::rmtree to File::Remove::remove in the
test scripts. (ADAMK)
- Various documentation clean ups (ADAMK)
- If building in author mode, make sure that auto-generated META.yml
files are deleted properly during 'make clean' (ADAMK)
0.70 Tue 18 Mar 2008 - Adam Kennedy
- Temporarily restoring auto_install until Matt Trout can craft a
replacement for their installdeps needs, and for feature support
(ADAMK)
0.69 Sat 15 Mar 2008 - Adam Kennedy
- Removing auto_install support (ADAMK)
- Removing Build.PL support (ADAMK)
- Enabling configure_requires support (ADAMK)
- Automatically set a configure_requires for the version of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker that the author is running (ADAMK)
- Refactoring a number of modules for reduced size (ADAMK)
- Add 'share' to the list of directories automatically no_index'ed (ADAMK)
- license_from correctly marks "GNU lesser public license" as lgpl,
not gpl [rt.cpan.org 24635] (AVAR)
- set author mode ($Module::Install::AUTHOR) when first creating
./inc (RJBS)
- Don't write perl into PREREQ_PM when using perl_version (ADAMK)
0.68 - Ricardo Signes
- The author entry in META.yml is now a sequence, as required
2008-03-16 - 3.8
Set INSTALLDIRS correctly in Makefile.PL
A couple of other fixups to play nicely in Core
2008-03-12 - 3.7
Ignore editor cruft by default (Dave Rolsky and Matt Trout)
Doc patches (Matt Trout)
Prevent prototype mismatch warnings under Error.pm (Christopher H. Laco)
Don't pick up the ::SUPER pseudo stash in 5.8 (Alex Vandiver)
Make things work under VOS (Nicholas Clark and Paul Green)
Fix warning under Devel::Cover (Brian Cassidy)
Make tests run under Taint again
Get rid of Build.PL

* This is 0.29.
____________________________________________________________________________
By: smueller on 2008/02/05

0.91 May 3, 2008
- The fix for handling @_'s readonly-ness introduced a refcounting
bug. One symptom of this was a failing Log::Dispatch test. Reported
by Andreas Koenig. RT #35608.
0.90 May 1, 2008
- Make the XS version of Params::Validate recognize regexp objects
with Perl 5.11.0-to-be. Patch by Andreas Koenig. RT #32872.
- With the XS version, when you passed @_ directly to validate() and
then got a hash reference back, the values of that hash reference
would be marked readonly. Reported by W J Moore. RT #34410.
