This alpha release overhauls the blibdirs generation yet again to fix design issues introduced in 6.18. blibdirs broke the generation of the SVN perl bindings. The new system is more robust and completely does away with intermediate timestamp files, the directories are now targets directly. Otherwise, a whole bunch of redundant VMS and Windows code was eliminated. But that was in 6.25_01. Pumpkings take note, a few new .pm files and tests have been added. 6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004 - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes things like SVN's perl bindings. 6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004 - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 4545] - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851] - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460] - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18. 6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004 * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP. * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers, they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time. * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build directory. It will only be generated in the distdir. - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed. - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files. This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix. 6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004 - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now ignored. [radek@karnet.pl] [rt.cpan.org 8809] - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP -- Michael G Schwern schwern@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*!!!
