http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.25_07.tar.gz or svn://svn.schwern.org/CPAN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/trunk or a CPAN near you. Release candidate number *mumble* for 6.26. Fixed a bunch of minor VMS issues Craig noticed. Also papered over the dmake problem uncovered by installbase.t in the hopes that an updated dmake becomes available soon and the problem goes away. 6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004 - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice. - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy. - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas. 6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004 - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro. - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as targets as their mod time changes too frequently. * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented it yet. I'll do that next release. 6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004 - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command". Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro. - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed. - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP. 6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004 - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules. 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/ I know you get this a lot, but what's an unholy fairy like you doing in a mosque like this?Thread Next
