18TODO: maybe make extutilc::cbuilder return value dynam,ic and have some kind of app-preferences?
19TODO: staticperl changes paths, so instsrc . doe snot work if it installs perl first
20 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
21 so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
22 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
23 - default to stableperl.
24 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
25 one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
26
271.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
28 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
29 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
30 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
31 bugs in Module::Build.
32 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
33 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
34 slightly by having a newer version.
35 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
36 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
37 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
38 fail for similar reasons.
39 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
40 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
41 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
42 through the cracks.
43 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
44 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
45 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
46
471.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
48 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
49 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
50 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
51 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
52 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
53 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
54
551.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
56 - actually, really do it.
57
581.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
59 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
60 break Pod::Parser.
61
621.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
63 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
64 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
65 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
66 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
67 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
68 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
69 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
70 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
71 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
72 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
73 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
74 been specified.
75 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
76 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
77 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
78 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
79 - fix a memleak in static::list.
80 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
81 (--allow-dynamic).
82 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
83
841.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
85 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
86 - improved documentation a bit.
87
881.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
89 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
90 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
91 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
92
931.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
94 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
95 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
96 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
97 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
98 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
99 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
100 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
101 instead.
102 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
103 Pango and Gtk2 build.
104 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
105 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
106 is a bug in Pango).
107 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
108 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
109 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
110 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
111 - new "staticperl perl" command.
112 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
113
1141.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
115 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
116 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
117 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
118 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
119 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
120 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
121 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
122 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
123 - new hook: patchconfig.
124
1251.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
126 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
127 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
128 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
129 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
130 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
131 (it fails to build extensions statically).
132 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
133
1341.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
135 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
136 as it is no longer useful.
137 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
138
1391.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
140 - use a better -M syntax.
141 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
142 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
143 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
144 was used before defined.
145 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
146 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
147 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
148 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
149 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
150 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
151 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
152 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
153 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
154
1551.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
156 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
157 /usr/bin/perl.
158 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
159 (only in the testsuite).
160 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
161 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
162 - clarify license.
163
1640.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
165 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
166 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
167 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
168 supported as abbreviation).
169 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
170 (which didn't even do anything...).
171 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
172 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
173
1740.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
175 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
176 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
177 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
178 - introduce PERL_CC.
179 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
180 files with mv :/.
181 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
182 will stop if the install step fails).
183 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
184 chances of success.

90.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010 1860.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
10 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test. 187 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
11 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability. 188 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
