1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension App::Staticperl
2    
3 root 1.47 TODO: document a few more common variables for statuicperlrc, also dynamic loading.
4     - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
5     commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
6     using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
7     for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
8 root 1.46 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
9 root 1.48 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
10 root 1.47 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
11     instead.
12 root 1.48 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
13     Pango and Gtk2 build.
14     - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
15     often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
16     is a bug in Pango).
17     - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
18     after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
19     - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
20     - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
21     - new "staticperl perl" command.
22 root 1.46
23 root 1.45 1.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
24     - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
25     by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
26     - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
27     force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
28     forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
29     anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
30     - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
31     -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
32     - new hook: patchconfig.
33    
34 root 1.44 1.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
35     - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
36     keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
37     - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
38     for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
39     - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
40     (it fails to build extensions statically).
41 root 1.43 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
42    
43 root 1.42 1.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
44 root 1.41 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
45     as it is no longer useful.
46 root 1.42 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
47 root 1.41
48 root 1.40 1.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
49     - use a better -M syntax.
50 root 1.38 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
51     - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
52 root 1.36 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
53 root 1.32 was used before defined.
54     - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
55 root 1.30 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
56 root 1.40 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
57 root 1.32 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
58 root 1.33 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
59     can be 0 (and is then ignored).
60 root 1.34 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
61 root 1.39 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
62     - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
63 root 1.30
64 root 1.29 1.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
65     - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
66     /usr/bin/perl.
67     - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
68     (only in the testsuite).
69 root 1.26 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
70     - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
71     - clarify license.
72    
73 root 1.25 0.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
74     - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
75     it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
76     - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
77     supported as abbreviation).
78 root 1.24 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
79 root 1.25 (which didn't even do anything...).
80     - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
81     - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
82 root 1.20
83 root 1.23 0.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
84     - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
85     - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
86     tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
87     - introduce PERL_CC.
88 root 1.22 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
89     files with mv :/.
90 root 1.23 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
91     will stop if the install step fails).
92     - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
93     chances of success.
94 root 1.1
95 root 1.18 0.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
96     - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
97     - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
98    
99 root 1.17 0.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
100     - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
101 root 1.16 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
102     on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
103 root 1.13 - implemented --staticlib option.
104 root 1.14 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
105     especially for the uncompressed case).
106     - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
107     - implemented --include/--exclude options.
108 root 1.15 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
109     by Thomas Linden).
110 root 1.16 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
111     - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
112     - implement $STATICPERLRC.
113     - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
114     to make maintenance easier.
115 root 1.13
116 root 1.11 0.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
117 root 1.10 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
118 root 1.11 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
119     standalone applications.
120 root 1.10
121 root 1.9 0.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
122 root 1.7 - make it work as non-root user.
123 root 1.9 - make module install/linking much more robust against
124     build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
125     the module when it was actualyl built successfully.
126 root 1.8 - split "install" phase into perl install and module
127     install, so fixing your postinstall hook takes less time.
128     - change make clean to delete the sources dir.
129     - add preconfigure hook.
130 root 1.7
131 root 1.6 0.1 Tue Dec 7 10:23:43 CET 2010
