I - couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility. - This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various - previous alpha releases. - -6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005 - - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent - and better. - - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are - now possible. - -6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005 - - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it. - - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN - made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left - XSUBPP alone. - - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can - make commands too long on VMS. - - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using - .exists files everywhere. - - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS. - - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds. - - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. - - Add Interix support (bleadperl@33892) - - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with - Module::Install - -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.

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.

This eliminates a bunch of special case code. - - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic. - - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential - errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway. - - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP. - * Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run. - * Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building - large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson] - * test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}. - [Greg Matheson] - - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available. - [Slaven Rezic] - - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives. - [Slaven Rezic] - - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?" - and "How do I keep from installing man pages?"

[Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032] - * MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use - Module::Build instead. - * Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on - VMS. [rt 4675] - - For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any - existing uses. - - Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN). - This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616] - - realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories - wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952.

Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed - (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger] - - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version - for backwards compatibility. - - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section.

Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead. - - Removed now unused dir_target() method. - - Added a little documentation to instmodsh. - * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use - it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of - PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS. - * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang) - - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake - made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2 - - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix() - * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used. - * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and - open.pm (Autrijus Tang) - - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded. - * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing. - * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a - warning.
