2005-02-24* Teach devel/p5-Module-Build to write .packlists just like MakeMaker.pmjlam4-62/+26
does. This allows us to use dynamic PLISTs for Perl modules that are built using Module::Build. Bump the PKGREVISION of p5-Module-Build to 1. * Drop the use of PERL5_USES_MODULE_BUILD and introduce a new variable PERL5_MODULE_TYPE that is either "MakeMaker" or "Module::Build" that names the framework used to build/install the module. * Split out the variables set in perl5/buildlink3.mk that are also used by perl5/module.mk into a new file perl5/vars.mk. Move some PERL5_* variable definitions from pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.use.mk into perl5/vars.mk. This just centralizes the common PERL5_* definitions into a single file location. * Convert the known packages that use Module::Build to set PERL5_MODULE_TYPE and PERL5_PACKLIST: devel/p5-Class-Container devel/p5-Exception-Class devel/p5-Log-Dispatch devel/p5-Array-Compare textproc/p5-Pod-Coverage www/p5-Apache-Session-Wrapper www/p5-MasonX-Request-WithApacheSession

2005-02-19Update to 0.2608:wiz4-38/+35
0.2608 Wed Jan 26 19:46:09 CST 2005 - Add workaround for test files because Devel::Cover causes require to fail when the argument to require is an expression involving File::Spec. We now assign the result of the File::Spec call to a variable and then call require with that variable. - Tilde-expansion is now performed on arguments passed to a compatibility-Makefile.PL [Spotted by Sam Vilain] - We now run the 'gzip' and 'tar' values through split_like_shell() when running the 'dist' action, so that e.g. the 'gzip' value can be set to something like "gzip -f --best" and it'll work correctly. [Spotted by Chris Dolan] - Work around some bad mojo between Fedora Core [with its very long @INC] and old versions of Test::Harness [with its propensity to compound the number of @INC entries] that produced an "argument list too long" error during testing. [assisted by Ville Skytta, David Golden, & Randy Sims] - Killed an infinite loop that would happen in y_n() in interactive mode if the author provided no default value. [Max Maischein] 0.2607 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Sat Dec 18 14:14:09 CST 2004 - Instead of freezing @INC in the 'Build' script to the value it had when Build.PL was run, we now just add those additional values that aren't part of the default compiled-in @INC. [Michael Schwern] - The run_perl_script() method will now propagate any extra entries in @INC (such as those added by "use lib" or the -I command-line switch) to the subprocess. This helps situations in which you want to tell the subprocess where to find a certain module, for instance. [Michael Schwern] 0.2606 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Tue Dec 7 22:33:11 CST 2004 - Fixed a linking bug on Win32, in which compiled C code object files never got linked in with the modules being built. [Dominic Mitchell] - Fixed a bug in the new_from_context() method in which any arguments passed made us die. [Spotted by Jos Boumans] 0.2605 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Tue Nov 30 07:16:13 CST 2004 - Fixed a bug in which zero-length arguments for hash-valued parameters (e.g. " --config foo= ") weren't being allowed. - The tests now play better with environments in which version.pm is pre-loaded, like in bleadperl. [John Peacock & Michael Schwern] - Fixed a syntax error in one of the tests under perl 5.005. 0.2604 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Wed Nov 17 14:32:42 CST 2004 - Fixed a split_like_shell() bug introduced in 0.2603 for Windows, in which an array reference passed as an argument was returned as an array reference, rather than as a list. [Spotted by Steve Hay] - module_name() will now return '' instead of undef when module_name is not set. This eliminates a couple uninitialized-value warnings. [Suggested by Michael Schwern] - The expand_test_dir() method will now skip dotfiles (like ._foo.t, which sometimes gets automatically created on Mac systems) when 'recursive_test_files' is in effect. [Tom Insam] 0.2603 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Mon Nov 15 10:28:00 CST 2004 - Added documentation for the new_from_context() method. - Completely rewrote the split_like_shell() method for the Windows platform so it works like the command.com shell. [Randy Sims] 0.2602 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Thu Nov 4 11:19:29 CST 2004 - The two bug fixes in 0.2601 gnashed against each other incorrectly, resulting in a Win32 bug in split_like_shell(). Fixed. [Spotted by Steve Hay & Randy Sims] - Removed a couple of 'use warnings' statements from the code - they were causing compile failures on 5.005_04, where warnings.pm isn't available. [Blair Zajac] 0.2601 (Bug fix release in 0.26 series) Wed Nov 3 20:09:27 CST 2004 - Fixed some backslash problems with split_like_shell() on Win32. [Steve Hay] - Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge] 0.26 Sat Oct 9 17:51:01 CDT 2004 - Removed some language from the Module::Build::Compat documentation that encouraged people to include a Build.PL without a Makefile.PL. Also changed "a replacement for MakeMaker" to "an alternative to MakeMaker" in the main documentation, which is basically what I meant all along (i.e. a replacement for MakeMaker in your particular build process - MakeMaker is never going to be fully replaced in the perl world at large, of course), but some people got the impression I was a little more truculent toward MakeMaker than I really am. - Added the formal concepts of "features" and "config data" for distributions. This allows the module author to define a certain set of features that the user can switch on and off (usually according to whether they have the proper prerequisites for them), and to save build-time configuration information in a standardized format. See the main documentation of Module::Build for more details. (Note that the name of this system was called "BuildConfig" for a while in beta, but now it's called "ConfigData".) - Added an 'auto_features' capability, which simplifies the process of defining features that depend on a set of prerequisites. - Added the 'get_options' parameter, which lets module authors declare certain command-line arguments their Build.PL can accept [David Wheeler] - Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords() function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which does a much better job than the split() we were using. - Added a 'testpod' action, which checks the syntactic validity of all POD files in the distribution using Test::Pod. This eliminates the need for doing so in a regression test. [Initial patch by Mark Stosberg] - Added a process_files_by_extension() method, which generalizes the kind of processing (essentially just copying) that happens for .pm and .pod files, and makes it available to other user-defined types of files. See the new cookbook entry. - Improved compatibility with version.pm when authors are using version objects as their $VERSION variables. Now version_from_file() can deal with these objects. Currently we stringify them right away, but perhaps in the future we will preserve them as objects for a while. - During 'distdir' and 'distmeta' actions, die a bit more gracefully if there's no MANIFEST (i.e. explicitly say that a MANIFEST is required). [Spotted by Adrian Howard] - Eliminated a recursive dependency between creating the MANIFEST file and creating the META.yml file. [Spotted by Dave Rolsky] - On Win32, where a single directory might be known variously as "Module-Build-0.25_03" or "MODULE~1.25_", we now use Win32::GetShortPathName($cwd) to verify that the 'Build' script is being run from the correct directory, rather than just a string comparison. - The add_to_cleanup() method will now accept glob()-style patterns in addition to explicit filenames. Also documented the fact that they can be specified in either Unix-style or native-style notation. - Passing a PREFIX value to a pass-through Makefile 'make install' now has the same effect as passing it to 'perl Makefile.PL' (it dies with a helpful message). - Added the 'testcover' action, which runs a test suite using Devel::Cover. [Dave Rolsky] - Added the 'lib' and 'arch' installation directories to the search path for the 'diff' action, since they won't necessarily (though they usually will) be in @INC at installation time. [Suggested by Kevin Baker] - The "=head3" POD directive isn't supported in older podlators (particularly Pod::Man), so we don't use it anymore. - Fixed a typo & improved the docs in the SUBCLASSING section. [Ron Savage] - Added the '.tmp' suffix to the default MANIFEST.SKIP file, which should avoid adding things like pod2htmi.tmp to the MANIFEST [Ron Savage] - Backup files from Emacs, containing the string '.#' in their names, should no longer find their way into the blib/ directory (and from there into installation directories). - Worked around an unpleasant interaction between version.pm and the version-checking code that makes sure Module::Build's version hasn't changed during the lifetime of the 'Build' script. [Reported by Trevor Schellhorn] - Fixed a problem in htmlify_pods() that would produce test failures on Cygwin (and probably elsewhere). [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] - Fixed a test failure on Cygwin (and probably elsewhere) in t/compat.t, resulting from empty environment variables being set to the empty string (as opposed to simply being unset) by their mere presence in the "EXPORT:" list. - Fixed a fatal error that occurred when the author specified 'dist_author' manually in their Build.PL script. [Spotted by Ron Savage] - The 'provides' section of the META.yml file wasn't being built properly on Win32, because of a mismatch between URL-format and native-format pathnames. Fixed. [Reported by Robert Rothenberg] - The progress message "lib/Foo.xs -> lib/Foo.c" was previously being output even when the Foo.c file wasn't being rebuilt. It's now fixed. - Fixed a couple of places in Compat.pm where it could have forgotten which perl interpreter it had been run with ($^X isn't very trustworthy). - On some systems, the way we updated the timestamp on the "lib/Foo.bs" file (one of the output files for XS-based modules) was failing. It's been replaced by a simple call to utime(). - Fixed a problem in t/compat.t that prevented it from being run individually using 'make test TEST_FILES=t/compat.t'. The problem was that a couple environment variables (TEST_FILES, MAKEFLAGS) were being passed through to subprocesses, and confused them. - Fixed an important typo in the documentation for the 'install_base' parameter ('libdoc' and 'bindoc' were switched). [Ray Zimmerman] - The pass-through Makefiles (type 'small' or 'passthrough') now support the TEST_FILES parameter to 'make test'. - Fixed a fatal error that would occur on perl 5.005 when building HTML documentation, because its version of Pod::Html was old and didn't like some of the parameters we fed it. [Spotted by Blair Zajac] - The final line of the generated pass-through Makefile was missing its trailing newline, which is now fixed. [Chip Salzenberg] - We now depend on YAML version at least 0.35 and at most version 0.49, so that we don't pick up a new (and backward-incompatible) beta version from CPAN. - Squashed a warning in t/basic.t about '"Foo::Module::VERSION" used only once', and one in PPMMaker about $^V being undefined. [Blair Zajac] - Added a couple temporary output files from HTML documentation generation to the cleanup list. [Toby Ovod-Everett] - The PodParser module will now only extract paragraphs in the 'AUTHOR' section of the pod if they contain an '@' character. This tends to do a better job, heuristically speaking, of returning relevant stuff. - Added regression tests and a helper method ( add_build_elements() ) for adding new elements to the build process. Also some documentation. - Wrote a recipe in the Cookbook for adding new elements to the build process, and a recipe for changing the order in which the steps in the build process will occur. 0.25 Sun Apr 25 11:12:36 CDT 2004 - During the 'distdir' action, if no MANIFEST.SKIP file exists, we will now create a reasonable default one. [Randy Sims] - In Makefile compatibility mode, some arguments (like UNINST, TEST_VERBOSE, etc.) given to 'make' are now recognized and passed through to Module::Build. [Randy Sims] - The regression tests now make sure that several pass-through Makefile.PL parameters are dealt with correctly. - Added support for the 'LIB' parameter to passthrough Makefile.PLs. [Spotted by Jesse Erlbaum] - Passing a 'PREFIX' parameter to a passthrough Makefile.PL was supposed to make it die with a helpful error message, but instead it just ignored it and blindly tried to install to the wrong place. This is now fixed. [Spotted by Jesse Erlbaum] - Added an extra_compiler_flags() accessor method. - If the 'recursive_test_files' option was turned on, the test files weren't sorted, but returned in an apparently random order. Now they're sorted. [Martyn Peck] - Documented the 'tar' and 'gzip' parameters to the 'dist' and 'ppmdist' actions. - The generation of HTML documentation now works (it was accidentally partially implemented with an itchy patch-application finger in 0.24). [Randy Kobes] - Fixed a fatal bug when building META.yml with YAML.pm and 'dynamic_config' is set. [Reported by Jaap Karssenberg] - Fixed some incorrect error messages that occurred when compiling/linking C sources went awry. - If the author uses a custom builder subclass, that subclass will now be loaded correctly in the passthrough Makefile.PL if the author uses the 'small' or 'passthrough' Makefile.PL options in Module::Build::Compat. [Martyn Peck and Jaap Karssenberg] - If the author uses a custom builder subclass created dynamically through the subclass() method, passthrough Makefile.PLs (of type 'passthrough' or 'small') didn't work properly, because the custom builder module wouldn't be loaded at the right time. This has been fixed. [Reported by Toby Ovod-Everett] - In M::B-generated 'traditional' Makefile.PLs, the entries in 'PREREQ_PM' are now sorted ASCIIbetically rather than randomly. - The install_types() method will now return any additional types given as 'install_path' arguments, as well as all elements of the current 'install_sets' entry. This makes it easier to add new types of installable objects to the mix. - As a consequence of the previous change, there is no longer any need to have an explicit 'install_types' data member, so it has been removed. - In the second example code for the Module::Build->subclass() method, the Module::Build module needed to be loaded before calling its methods. [John Peacock] - Fixed minor error in the POD structure of Module::Build and Module::Build::Platform::VMS docs. 0.24 Wed Feb 25 15:57:00 CST 2004 - Fixed a problem with incude_dirs not being propagated to the 'ccs' file when compiling XS files on Win32. [Randy Sims and Steve Hay] - In 0.23, Module::Build::Compat->fake_makefile() started choking when no 'build_class' parameter was supplied in the Makefile.PL. Since these Makefile.PLs still exist on CPAN, we now default 'build_class' to 'Module::Build', which was the old 0.22 behavior anyway. [Reported by Martin Titz and Jeremy Seitz] - Added documentation for the 'include_dirs' parameter to new(). [Steve Hay] - Changed the no-op command on Win32 from 'rem' to 'rem>nul' inside pass-through Makefiles. [Randy Sims] - The 'autosplit' parameter now accepts an array reference if multiple files should be split. [Jaap Karssenberg] - find_perl_interpreter() will now use $^X (if absolute), $ENV{PATH} (if $^X isn't absolute), and $Config{perlpath}, in that order. Also, we now make darn sure the result is the same version of perl, by checking Config::myconfig() for a match against the current perl. [Reported by Edward Sabol] - Fixed a fatal error on Win32 (and any other platform that doesn't define an installation location for Unix-style man pages) during installation. 0.23 Sun Feb 8 22:01:18 CST 2004 - Fixed a compatibility problem in pass-through Makefiles (created by Module::Build::Compat). Some 'make' utilities (for example, BSD make) didn't like a '@' by itself on a line, so we stole some 'NOOP' code from MakeMaker to fix it. [Reported by Mathieu Arnold] - Added a 'ppm_dist' action, which just makes the PPD file and then makes a tarball out of the blib/ directory. [Randy Sims] - The @INC of the parent process is now propagated to child processes when processing *.PL files. [Reported by Jaap Karssenberg] - We now only attempt to fix the shebang line on a script if the shebang line matches the regex /perl/i . This fixes some instances where people put shell scripts in their distributions. [Jaap Karssenberg] - We no longer generate a 'requires', 'recommends', 'conflicts', etc. entry in the META.yml file if there's no data to go in it. - Added a documentation reference to Michael Schwern's wiki for tips on conversion from MakeMaker to M::B. [Randy Sims] - If there are script_files, we now add EXE_FILES to the 'traditional' Makefile.PL generated by M::B::Compat. [Suggested by Yuval Kogman] - Documented the 'test_files' parameter to new(). [Reported by Tony Bowden] - Fixed a problem in "Build help <action>", which didn't find the correct help chunk if <action> was the final element in a POD list. [Jaap Karssenberg] - Fixed a problem in the get_action_docs() method which gave incorrect results if the method was called more than once in the same program. - Fixed a problem in which actions defined by user subclasses wouldn't be available via the pass-through Makefiles created by Module::Build::Compat. [Reported by Jaap Karssenberg] - We now use Data::Dumper instead of our own ad-hoc serialization routines to create the 'traditional' Makefile.PL arguments. [Suggested by Yuval Kojman] 0.22 Sat Jan 10 22:05:39 CST 2004 - On Unixish platforms, the syntax "FOO=BAR /bin/baz arg arg" now works when present in $Config{ld}. This solves a problem on Mac OS X 10.3. [Reported by Adam Foxson] - The have_c_compiler() now also tests whether the linker seems to work too. - Fixed a problem with creating the distribution tarball in which permissions would usually be all read-only. We now use our own file-copying routines rather than those in ExtUtils::Manifest, because those do some annoying extra permissions-setting stuff for no apparent reason. It makes me happy that this was a very very easy patch to make. [Reported by Thomas Klausner] - The compile_c() method now includes $Config{cccdlflags} in its command invocation. It's usually empty, but not always, so we didn't notice for a while. [Richard Clamp] - On some platforms it's common to have a $Config{make} defined, but no 'make' utility actually available. We now detect this and skip some 'make' compatibility tests. [Randy Sims] - Fixed a spurious testing failure on non-Unix platforms that happened because we accidentally call localize_file_path() on empty strings in the test suite. [Spotted by Randy Sims on Windows] - Made the 'name', 'abstract', 'author', and 'version' properties required when building a PPD file. [Spotted by Randy Sims, Dave Rolsky, & Glenn Linderman] - When building a 'traditional' Makefile.PL with Module::Build::Compat, we now use 'VERSION_FROM' when possible, rather than always using 'VERSION'. This way the Makefile.PL doesn't have to get modified every release. - Made some fixups to the 'PPM' info-file, improving compatibility with ActiveState's PPM tools. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman] - The 'dist_author' property can now accept multiple authors, see the docs for more info. [Randy Sims] - If the user doesn't have YAML.pm installed during ACTION_dist, we now create a minimal YAML.pm anyway, without any dependency information. - The 'distribution_type' field is no longer created in META.yml files, in accordance with the finding made at the London CLPAN meeting that it's essentially meaningless and ill-defined. - The 'dist' action now accepts an optional 'tar' parameter to use a system utility for building the tarball, and a 'gzip' parameter for compressing it. If these are used, Archive::Tar won't be invoked. This was added because Archive::Tar is producing some very non-cross-platform tarballs that many tar utilities can't handle. - During testing, if YAML.pm isn't installed, then we won't try making a tarball either, since this would invoke YAML to create the META.yml file. - Fixed a problem with chmod() being called incorrectly on MacOS (i.e. MacPerl, not Mac OS X). [Spotted by Paul Sanford Toney] - Fixed a problem with the --config flag not being treated properly (essentially ignored) on the command line for 'perl Build.PL' or 'Build <action>'. [Spotted by Jakub Bogusz] - Added a new config() method to get at the Build object's notion of the %Config hash. - Test::Harness is starting to contend for the Most Crotchety Module Award. Work around a few of its nits when setting harness switches. [Spotted by Diab Jerius] - Now the Build script will die() if we're run from the wrong directory, rather than trying to chdir() to what it thinks is the right directory and do its work there. See https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4039 . [Chris Dolan] - Changed the manpage separator on OS/2 to '.'. [Ilya Zakharevich] - On OS/2, disable C compilation, since apparently it isn't working there. [Reported by Ilya Zakharevich] - Inserted a comment into auto-generated Makefile.PLs saying it was auto-generated. [Randy Sims] - Fixed some annoying behavior in generated passthrough Makefile.PLs when the user chose not to install Module::Build, or if installation failed. [Reported by Ilya Zakharevich and Richard Clamp] - Moved the documentation for 'codebase' to the section where it's relevant. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman] - Fixed a have_c_compiler() failure on some platforms, we now define a boot_compilet() function (since we're compiling a library, not an executable). [Randy Sims] - Added a recipe to the Module::Build::Cookbook describing how to maintain compatibility with older versions of CPAN.pm [Jim Cromie] - Removed caveat about "looking for alternatives" in how hashes are specified on the command line, since an alternative has been found. - Previously most warnings about optional prerequisites looked like they were actually error messages about required prerequisites. This has been corrected. [Reported again by Sagar Shah] - Added support for building XS (and C in general) stuff on AIX. This was done by a small reorganization of prelink_c() method from Windows.pm to Build.pm, and it is only invoked for the platforms that need it invoked. AIX also massages some very naughty bits (MakeMaker macro variables) in $Config{lddlflags} that should never have been put there, but alas, they're there, so we find & resolve them. - Added OS/2 ($^O = 'os2') to the list of Unix-like platforms. This basically means that most platform-specific operations will be done in a Unix-like manner. - Pass-through Makefiles will now die() when they're given a PREFIX parameter, and suggest using 'destdir' or 'install_base' instead. Previously they just ignored the parameter and tried to install to the default location, which is clearly not what the user wanted. - Updated my email address in the documentation to a more recent variant. - Add NetBSD to the list of Unix-like systems. [Adrian Bunk] - Add SVR5 to the list of Unix-like systems. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez] - We now use Pod::Parser to find the ABSTRACT and AUTHOR when it's available on the system. [initial patch by Randy Sims] - Fixed a little scalar/list buglet in a documentation example.
2004-12-20since perl is now built with threads on most platforms, the perl archlibgrant1-1/+2
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. addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
2004-05-02Add missing manual pages. Sort.kim1-11/+28
2003-12-29Updated p5-Module-Build to 0.21.grant2-5/+5
changes since 0.20: - Added a have_c_compiler() method. - Added documentation for the requires(), recommends(), build_requires(), and conflicts() methods. - On Unix platforms, we now create the "Build" script with a #! line matching the perl interpreter that was used to invoke the Build.PL script, rather than whatever is in $Config{startperl}. This avoids a potential warning about the interpreters not matching. [Spotted by Ken Y. Clark] - The Unix version now uses the safer multi-argument form of system() when building distribution tarballs. - Added a regression test for the 'dist' action to the t/runthrough.t test. - Fixed a problem with File::Spec usage when creating the names of 'libdoc' manual pages - the code wasn't dealing with the volume or file portions correctly on certain platforms. - When creating the names of the 'libdoc' manual pages, we no longer assume that pods are under the hard-coded paths 'blib/lib' or 'blib/arch'. - Fixed a crashing bug that could sometimes occur when the distribution contained no 'lib' directory. [Chris Dolan] - Fixed a crashing bug that happened when the user had .PL files in the lib/ directory and didn't explicitly name them in a hash reference to the new() constructor. [Chris Reinhardt, bug #4036] - .PL files are now passed the names of their target file(s) on the command line when they run. - When YAML.pm wasn't installed, t/runthrough.t wasn't properly skipping some tests that required YAML. This is now fixed. [Stephen J. Smith] - Added documentation for the dist_version() and dist_name() methods. [Spotted by Johan Vromans] - Existing values in $ENV{HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES} are now respected and not squashed when we run the 'test' action. [Paul Johnson] - On cygwin, the separator string for manual page names has been set to '.'. Previously it was '::', inherited from Unix. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] - Avoid a warning when Build.PL is run (i.e. when the new() method is called) and no MANIFEST file exists. [Michael Schwern and Kevin Ruscoe] - Added documentation for the 'code' and 'docs' actions. [Steve Purkis and Mark Stosberg] - The internal method compile_support_files() has been renamed to process_support_files() in order to make it consistent with other processing methods. Note that it was never documented using the old name. It's still not documented, actually. Maybe later. - Skip the 'write' pseudo-entry in the 'diff' action's installation map. [Chris Dolan] - Fixed a bug in which notes() set in the Build.PL before create_build_script() was called would get lost unless more notes() were also set afterwards. [Spotted by Dave Rolsky] - The process of building elements of the distribution is now driven by a list of build elements, paving the way for letting people add their own types of build elements in future versions of Module::Build (or in the current version with some difficulty). - Fixed some linking errors on Cygwin. [Randy Sims, Terrence Brannon] - Fixed a line-ending problem with detecting the dist_abstract properly on Cygwin. [Randy Sims] - Fixed a problem with signatures that occurred if 'distsign' was called before 'distdir' - the signature would be generated twice. - Added a 'create_readme' parameter to new(), which will use Pod::Text to generate a README from the main (dist_version_from) module file during the 'distdir' action. - We now refuse to run the 'Build' script if it was created using a different version of Module::Build. This has caused a couple of nasty bugs in the past, I don't want to know what it would cause in the future. - Documentation for do_system() has been added. [Dave Rolsky] - run_perl_script() is now available as a class method, though it will need to (re-)find the perl interpreter in this case. - Added a new_from_context() method that authors of automated tools like CPANPLUS and CPAN can use instead of running all tasks as sub-processes. We also use it in the regression tests for Module::Build itself. ** Note that this method is currently undocumented because its name may change in the future. ** - When signing distributions with Module::Signature, we now automatically add the SIGNATURE file to the MANIFEST, avoiding an unpleasant chicken/egg problem for the module author. [unpleasantness spotted by sungo] - In Module::Build::Compat, added support for the 'verbose' parameter to Makefile.PL [spotted by Soren Andersen, fixed by Michael Schwern] - The Module::Build distribution now has a cryptographic 'SIGNATURE' file created by Module::Signature. - Added proper documentation for the subclass() method. [spotted by Jonathan Steinert] - Worked around a Config.pm bug in Red Hat 9 which prevented man pages from being installed in the correct places. [spotted by Ville Skytta] - Fixed a Module::Build::Compat bug in which setting INSTALLDIRS caused a crash. [spotted by Ilya Martynov]
