Greetings, attached is the patch to update CPANPLUS to 0.79_03, addressing various test and build issues under perl core and the last few open tickets in rt.cpan.org. Again, we'll be watching the smoke and if no issues arise, this release will be promoted to 'stable'. All tests pass on my development box as per usual. Here's the complete changelog: Changes for 0.79_03 Fri May 18 19:44:35 2007 ================================================ * address: #27057: Dry runs and dep tree. Make it possible to view which modules will be updated for what reasons when running 'selfupdate'. 's selfupdate' in the shell now prints this dependency tree out and also offers a --dryrun option * address: #27174: No way to pass case-insensitive patterns to ignorelist; All --ignore/--ban options for cpan2dist are now case insensitive * address: #26583: display of installed/required in report is confusing; Add a header to the columns generated for clarity * tweak test conf to play nicer with perl core * show version number when testing/installing * add callback to allow to continue after a failed 'make test' or 'build test' * reapply core patch #31028 -- it got lost somehow this fixes test setups under perl_core * add --set-config and --set-program to cpan2dist to overwrite random config entries for this invocation only * document all the options in CPANPLUS::Config * make saving cpanp-boxed config Just Work and add a banner to cpanp-boxed to tell you how to * expand the help text for 's' with options where applicable * clarify * and .. hint in default shell * silence warning in config.pm when a path to an .exe is not defined * The test suite now adds the '/nologo' option when the user has 'nmake.exe' configured as their 'make' program, to limit the amount of noise on the terminal. -- Jos Boumans "Two rules to success in life: 1.
