Do it for all packages that

Let me know if you have any this time.

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!

2.01 May 27 2004 - Major
This version is a MAJOR revision to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. The
format of the Excel file that it produces has been updated from
Excel 5 to Excel 97. This allows support for long, 32k character
strings and Unicode.
DUE TO THE MAJOR INTERNAL CHANGES IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TEST
THIS UPGRADE FULLY BEFORE DEPLOYING IT.
Also note that this version can be 1.5 to 2 times slower than
previous versions and the write_comment() method has been
temporarily removed. These issues will be fixed in later releases.
+ Changed the default Excel format to Excel 97.
+ Added support for strings up to 32767 character.
+ Added support for Unicode strings.
+ Improved speed in relation to pre-release versions.
However, it is still slower than the 1.xx versions.
+ Improved OpenOffice.org support.
+ Added more examples: diag_border.pl, indent.pl,
unicode.pl, unicode_japan.pl, unicode_list.pl
+ Changed the distro dir structure.
- Temporarily removed write_comment() support since the Excel 5
version isn't compatible with Excel 97+.
1.01 May 24 2004 - Minor
! Small non-bug fix to write_comment().
0.43 April 28 2004 - Minor
! Fixed longstanding bug where page setup features didn't
show up in OpenOffice.org.
! Fixed localised @_ bug when using threaded perls.
Thanks Tamas Gulacsi and Stephan Loescher.

Thanks to Kyle R. Burton and David Robins.
! Fixed minor formula parser bug.
Thanks Michael Braig
! Fixed handling of column sizing for widths less than 1
unit (again). Thanks to Rubio (again).
! Failed new() returns undef instead of croak()ing as per docs.

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.

of Perl files to deal with the perl-5.8.7 update that moved all
pkgsrc-installed Perl files into the "vendor" directories.
|
|
These paths are now relative to PERL5_PACKLIST_DIR, which currently
defaults to ${PERL5_SITEARCH}. There is no change to the binary
packages.

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.

+ Added facility for adding outlines to worksheets. Added
outline.pl example.
+ Moved write_comment() code into the core modules. It is now
possible to write cell comments.
+ Added option to return a slice from the sheets() method.
+ Added link to latest Excel97 pre-release.
! Changed, once more, the handling of temp files to avoid several
file closing bugs.
! Fixed handling of column sizing for widths less than 1 unit.
! Renamed addworksheet() and addformat() to add_worksheet()
and add_format() for consistency with other method names.
Older names are supported but deprecated.
! Fixed internal sheet indexing in formulas on some platforms.
This caused multi-sheet workbooks with formulas to crash.
! Fixed non-lexical filehandles to prevent problems in
multi-threaded environments.
+ Added the set_codepage() workbook method. This is mainly to
prevent a bug that caused Gnumeric to crash but it is also
useful for people working with non ascii chars on the Macintosh.
! Fixed the non-deletion of temporary files. Users of version
0.38 should probably clean up their tmp dirs manually.
! Changed default handling of set_fg_color and set_bg_color from
what Excel expected to what everyone else expected. Setting the
fill colour of a cell should now be more intuitive.
+ Replaced the merge_cells() method with the merge_range() method.
This is mainly to prevent the Excel 97 crashing bug that occurs
when merge_cells() is used correctly. It also provide a simpler
interface to the merge feature. Updated merge example programs.
! Refactored the error raising mechanism for formulas. The source
of errors should now be clearer.
! Minor internal fixes to Format.pm.
+ Added formula caching to speed up the writing of formulas.
+ Added handling of A:A column notation in formulas and
applicable worksheet methods.
+ Changed handling of numbers with leading zeroes so that they
can be treated as strings and the zeroes maintained.
+ Modified $workbook->close() to return the value of the system
file close.
+ Made file size exceeded a die() error instead of a warning.
+ Added option to hide row with the set_row() method
+ Added more examples: merge4.pl, merge5.pl, sendmail.pl and repeat.pl
! Fixed write_url() when handling relative links in the current
directory.
! Fixed handling of multiple AND()'s and OR()'s in formulas.
! Fixed bug when creating a very large number of files within a
single program on Windows.
! Added warning about Excel97 crashing bug with merge_cells().
! Fixed handling of parentheses in Worksheet names.
! Fixed minor bugs in Format.pm. Thanks Johann Hanne.
! Fixed File::Temp dependency in Makefile. Thanks to many.
+ Added set_tempdir() method to allow a user defined temp directory.
+ Fixed default format behaviour for formats set via the set_row()
and set_column() methods.
+ Extended the hide_gridlines() method to allow hiding of screen
gridlines as well as print gridlines.
+ Added long_string.pl a workaround example for the 255 char
limit.
+ Added https match to url regex.
+ Added user definable colour palette.
+ Added headers.pl and colors.pl examples.

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module can be used to create a cross-
platform Excel binary file. Multiple worksheets can be added to a
workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers,
formulas, hyperlinks and images can be written to the cells.
The Excel file produced by this module is compatible with Excel 5,
95, 97, 2000 and 2002.
The module will work on the majority of Windows, UNIX and
Macintosh platforms. Generated files are also compatible with the
Linux/UNIX spreadsheet applications Gnumeric and OpenOffice.
The generated files are not compatible with MS Access.
