21 - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
22 - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
23 - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
24 longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
25 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
26 so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
27 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
28 - default to stableperl.
29 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
30 one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
31
32 1.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
33 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
34 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
35 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
36 bugs in Module::Build.
37 - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
38 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
39 slightly by having a newer version.
40 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
41 false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
42 that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
43 fail for similar reasons.
44 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
45 which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
46 - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
47 through the cracks.
48 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
49 provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
50 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
51
52 1.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
53 - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
54 MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
55 from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
56 newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
57 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
58 - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
59
60 1.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
61 - actually, really do it.
62
63 1.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
64 - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
65 break Pod::Parser.
66
67 1.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
68 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
69 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
70 - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
71 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
72 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
73 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
74 static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
75 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
76 was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
77 - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
78 - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
79 been specified.
80 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
81 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
82 when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
83 - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
84 - fix a memleak in static::list.
85 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
86 (--allow-dynamic).
87 - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
88
89 1.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
90 - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
91 - improved documentation a bit.
92
93 1.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
94 - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
95 - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
96 for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
97
98 1.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
99 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
100 commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
101 using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
102 for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
103 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
104 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
105 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
106 instead.
107 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
108 Pango and Gtk2 build.
109 - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
110 often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
111 is a bug in Pango).
112 - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
113 after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
114 - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
115 - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
116 - new "staticperl perl" command.
117 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
118
119 1.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
120 - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
121 by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
122 - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
123 force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
124 forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
125 anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
126 - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
127 -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
128 - new hook: patchconfig.
129
130 1.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
131 - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
132 keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
133 - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
134 for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
135 - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
136 (it fails to build extensions statically).
137 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
138
139 1.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
140 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
141 as it is no longer useful.
142 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
143
144 1.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
145 - use a better -M syntax.
146 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
147 - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
148 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
149 was used before defined.
150 - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
151 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
152 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
153 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
154 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
155 can be 0 (and is then ignored).
156 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
157 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
158 - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
159
160 1.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
161 - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
162 /usr/bin/perl.
163 - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
164 (only in the testsuite).
165 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
166 - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
167 - clarify license.
168
169 0.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
170 - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
171 it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
172 - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
173 supported as abbreviation).
174 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
175 (which didn't even do anything...).
176 - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
177 - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
178
179 0.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
180 - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
181 - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
182 tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
183 - introduce PERL_CC.
184 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
185 files with mv :/.
186 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
187 will stop if the install step fails).
188 - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
189 chances of success.
190
191 0.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
192 - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
193 - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
194
195 0.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
196 - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
197 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
198 on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
199 - implemented --staticlib option.
200 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
201 especially for the uncompressed case).
202 - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
203 - implemented --include/--exclude options.
204 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
205 by Thomas Linden).
206 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
207 - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
208 - implement $STATICPERLRC.
209 - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
210 to make maintenance easier.
211
212 0.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
213 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
214 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
215 standalone applications.
216
217 0.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
218 - make it work as non-root user.
219 - make module install/linking much more robust against
220 build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
221 the module when it was actualyl built successfully.
222 - split "install" phase into perl install and module
223 install, so fixing your postinstall hook takes less time.
224 - change make clean to delete the sources dir.
225 - add preconfigure hook.
226
227 0.1 Tue Dec 7 10:23:43 CET 2010
228 - initial release.
229
230 0.0 Mon Dec 6 10:44:38 CET 2010
231 - cloned from Convert::Scalar.
