20 - default CPAN recommends_policy to off.
21 - new bundle args: --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags and --extra-libs.
22 - fix CBuilder workaround to actually use PERL_CFLAGS not PERL_CFLASGS.
23 - minor cosmetic fixes.
24
251.45 Fri Oct 19 23:26:54 CEST 2018
26 - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
27 - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
28 - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
29 longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
30 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
31 so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
32 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
33 - default to stableperl.
34 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
35 one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
36
371.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
38 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
39 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
40 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
41 bugs in Module::Build.
42 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
43 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
44 slightly by having a newer version.
45 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
46 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
47 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
48 fail for similar reasons.
49 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
50 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
51 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
52 through the cracks.
53 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
54 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
55 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
56
571.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
58 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
59 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
60 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
61 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
62 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
63 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
64
651.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
66 - actually, really do it.
67
681.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
69 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
70 break Pod::Parser.
71
721.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
73 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
74 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
75 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
76 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
77 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
78 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
79 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
80 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
81 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
82 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
83 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
84 been specified.
85 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
86 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
87 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
88 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
89 - fix a memleak in static::list.
90 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
91 (--allow-dynamic).
92 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
93
941.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
95 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
96 - improved documentation a bit.
97
981.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
99 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
100 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
101 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
102
1031.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
104 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
105 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
106 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
107 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
108 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
109 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
110 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
111 instead.
112 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
113 Pango and Gtk2 build.
114 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
115 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
116 is a bug in Pango).
117 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
118 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
119 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
120 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
121 - new "staticperl perl" command.
122 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
123
1241.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
125 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
126 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
127 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
128 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
129 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
130 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
131 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
132 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
133 - new hook: patchconfig.
134
1351.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
136 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
137 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
138 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
139 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
140 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
141 (it fails to build extensions statically).
142 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
143
1441.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
145 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
146 as it is no longer useful.
147 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
148
1491.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
150 - use a better -M syntax.
151 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
152 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
153 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
154 was used before defined.
155 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
156 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
157 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
158 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
159 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
160 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
161 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
162 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
163 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
164
1651.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
166 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
167 /usr/bin/perl.
168 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
169 (only in the testsuite).
170 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
171 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
172 - clarify license.
173
1740.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
175 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
176 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
177 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
178 supported as abbreviation).
179 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
180 (which didn't even do anything...).
181 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
182 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
183
1840.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
185 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
186 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
187 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
188 - introduce PERL_CC.
189 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
190 files with mv :/.
191 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
192 will stop if the install step fails).
193 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
194 chances of success.
195
1960.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
197 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
198 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
199
2000.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
201 - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
202 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
203 on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
7 - implemented --staticlib option. 204 - implemented --staticlib option.
8 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done, 205 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
9 especially for the uncompressed case). 206 especially for the uncompressed case).
10 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously. 207 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
11 - implemented --include/--exclude options. 208 - implemented --include/--exclude options.
209 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
210 by Thomas Linden).
211 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
212 - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
213 - implement $STATICPERLRC.
214 - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
215 to make maintenance easier.
12 216
130.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010 2170.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
