2008-10-19Bump the PKGREVISION for all packages which depend directly on perl,he1-1/+2
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=...").
2008-07-26Import p5-Math-Random-MT-Perl version 1.05.he3-0/+33
Pure Perl implementation of the Mersenne Twister algorithm as implemented in C/XS in Math::Random::MT. The output is identical to the C/XS version. The Mersenne Twister is a 32 bit pseudorandom number generator developed by Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura. The algorithm is characterised by a very uniform distribution but is not cryptographically secure. What this means in real terms is that it is fine for modeling but no good for crypto.
