- Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu> and
Dave Mitchell <davem@fdgroup.com> both provided patches to
fix problems module had with 5.8.0
- Dave Mitchell also made some UTF-8 related fixes to the test suite.
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.
Seems that's not set in %Config either, though (esp. when you don't
have pth installed 8-).
Fix path to expat by passing EXPATLIBPATH and EXPATINCPATH to the
Makefile.PL.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
Changes:
- Get rid of ContentStash global. Not that big a deal looking it up
everytime and gets rid of a potential threading problem.
- Switch to shareable library version of expat from sourceforge
(i.e. no longer include expat source and require that libexpat
be installed)
- Bob Tribit <btribit@traffic.com> demonstrated a fix for problems
in compiling under perl 5.6.0 with 5.005 threading.
- Matt Sergeant <matt@sergeant.org> discovered a typo ('IO::Handler'
instead of 'IO::Handle') in Expat.pm that caused IO::Handle objects
to be treated as strings instead of handles.
- Matt Sergeant also provided a patch to allow tied handles to work
properly in calls to parse.
- Eric Bohlman <ebohlman@netcom.com> reported a failure when
incremental parsing and external parsing were used together.
Need to give explicit package when calling Do_External_Parse
from externalEntityRef otherwise fails when called through ExpatNB.
ones to do, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
