221.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
23 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
24 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
25 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
26 bugs in Module::Build.
27 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
28 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
29 slightly by having a newer version.
30 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
31 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
32 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
33 fail for similar reasons.
34 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
35 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
36 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
37 through the cracks.
38 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
39 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
40 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
41
421.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
43 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
44 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
45 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
46 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
47 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
48 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
49
501.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
51 - actually, really do it.
52
531.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
54 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
55 break Pod::Parser.
56
571.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
58 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
59 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
60 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
61 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
62 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
63 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
64 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
65 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
66 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
67 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
68 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
69 been specified.
70 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
71 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
72 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
73 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
74 - fix a memleak in static::list.
75 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
76 (--allow-dynamic).
77 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
78
791.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
80 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
81 - improved documentation a bit.
82
831.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
84 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
85 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
86 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
87
881.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
89 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
90 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
91 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
92 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
93 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
94 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
95 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
96 instead.
97 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
98 Pango and Gtk2 build.
99 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
100 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
101 is a bug in Pango).
102 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
103 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
104 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
105 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
106 - new "staticperl perl" command.
107 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
108
1091.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
110 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
111 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
112 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
113 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
114 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
115 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
116 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
117 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
118 - new hook: patchconfig.
119
1201.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
121 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
122 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
123 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
124 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
125 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
126 (it fails to build extensions statically).
127 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
128
1291.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
130 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
131 as it is no longer useful.
132 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
133
1341.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
135 - use a better -M syntax.
136 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
137 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
138 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
139 was used before defined.
140 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
141 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
142 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
143 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
144 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
145 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
146 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
147 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
148 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
149
1501.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
151 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
152 /usr/bin/perl.
153 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
154 (only in the testsuite).
155 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
156 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
157 - clarify license.
158
1590.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
160 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
161 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
162 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
163 supported as abbreviation).
164 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
165 (which didn't even do anything...).
166 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
167 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
168
1690.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
170 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
171 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
172 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
173 - introduce PERL_CC.
174 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
175 files with mv :/.
176 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
177 will stop if the install step fails).
178 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
179 chances of success.
180
1810.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
182 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
183 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
184
1850.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
186 - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
187 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
188 on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
7 - implemented --staticlib option. 189 - implemented --staticlib option.
8 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done, 190 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
9 especially for the uncompressed case). 191 especially for the uncompressed case).
10 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously. 192 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
11 - implemented --include/--exclude options. 193 - implemented --include/--exclude options.
194 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
195 by Thomas Linden).
196 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
197 - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
198 - implement $STATICPERLRC.
199 - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
200 to make maintenance easier.
