20 root 1.82 TODO: bundle "<<<<" error => endless loop
21 root 1.83 - configure pushy_https by default, as this extraordinarily stupidly
22     named option apparently breaks urllist completely.
23 root 1.84 - new hook: postcpanconfig.
24 root 1.77
25 root 1.82 1.46 Tue 15 Feb 2022 19:25:09 CET
26     - when building an app ("mkapp"), staticperl freed the argv too
27     early, which causes memory corruption when perl is later
28     assigning to $0.
29 root 1.81 - default CPAN recommends_policy/suggests_policy to off.
30 root 1.78 - new bundle args: --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags and --extra-libs.
31 root 1.79 - fix CBuilder workaround to actually use PERL_CFLAGS not PERL_CFLASGS.
32     - minor cosmetic fixes.
33 root 1.78
34 root 1.77 1.45 Fri Oct 19 23:26:54 CEST 2018
35     - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
36     - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
37     - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
38     longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
39 root 1.76 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
40     so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
41 root 1.74 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
42 root 1.73 - default to stableperl.
43 root 1.75 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
44     one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
45 root 1.73
46 root 1.71 1.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
47 root 1.64 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
48 root 1.65 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
49 root 1.67 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
50 root 1.66 bugs in Module::Build.
51     - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
52 root 1.67 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
53     slightly by having a newer version.
54 root 1.68 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
55     false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
56     that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
57     fail for similar reasons.
58 root 1.67 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
59     which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
60     - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
61     through the cracks.
62 root 1.69 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
63     provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
64 root 1.70 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
65 root 1.59
66 root 1.63 1.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
67     - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
68     MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
69     from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
70     newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
71 root 1.62 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
72     - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
73    
74 root 1.61 1.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
75     - actually, really do it.
76    
77 root 1.60 1.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
78     - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
79     break Pod::Parser.
80    
81 root 1.59 1.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
82 root 1.55 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
83 root 1.59 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
84     - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
85 root 1.56 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
86 root 1.54 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
87 root 1.55 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
88     static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
89 root 1.56 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
90     was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
91     - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
92     - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
93     been specified.
94 root 1.59 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
95 root 1.56 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
96     when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
97     - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
98     - fix a memleak in static::list.
99 root 1.59 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
100 root 1.57 (--allow-dynamic).
101     - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
102 root 1.53
103 root 1.52 1.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
104     - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
105     - improved documentation a bit.
106    
107 root 1.51 1.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
108     - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
109     - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
110     for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
111    
112 root 1.49 1.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
113 root 1.47 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
114     commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
115     using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
116     for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
117 root 1.46 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
118 root 1.48 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
119 root 1.47 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
120     instead.
121 root 1.48 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
122     Pango and Gtk2 build.
123     - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
124     often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
125     is a bug in Pango).
126     - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
127     after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
128     - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
129     - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
130     - new "staticperl perl" command.
131 root 1.50 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
132 root 1.46
133 root 1.45 1.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
134     - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
135     by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
136     - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
137     force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
138     forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
139     anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
140     - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
141     -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
142     - new hook: patchconfig.
143    
144 root 1.44 1.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
145     - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
146     keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
147     - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
148     for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
149     - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
150     (it fails to build extensions statically).
151 root 1.43 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
152    
153 root 1.42 1.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
154 root 1.41 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
155     as it is no longer useful.
156 root 1.42 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
157 root 1.41
158 root 1.40 1.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
159     - use a better -M syntax.
160 root 1.38 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
161     - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
162 root 1.36 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
163 root 1.32 was used before defined.
164     - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
165 root 1.30 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
166 root 1.40 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
167 root 1.32 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
168 root 1.33 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
169     can be 0 (and is then ignored).
170 root 1.34 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
171 root 1.39 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
172     - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
173 root 1.30
174 root 1.29 1.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
175     - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
176     /usr/bin/perl.
177     - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
178     (only in the testsuite).
179 root 1.26 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
180     - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
181     - clarify license.
182    
183 root 1.25 0.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
184     - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
185     it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
186     - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
187     supported as abbreviation).
188 root 1.24 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
189 root 1.25 (which didn't even do anything...).
190     - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
191     - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
192 root 1.20
193 root 1.23 0.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
194     - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
195     - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
196     tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
197     - introduce PERL_CC.
198 root 1.22 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
199     files with mv :/.
200 root 1.23 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
201     will stop if the install step fails).
202     - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
203     chances of success.
204 root 1.1
205 root 1.18 0.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
206     - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
207     - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
208    
209 root 1.17 0.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
210     - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
211 root 1.16 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
212     on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
213 root 1.13 - implemented --staticlib option.
214 root 1.14 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
215     especially for the uncompressed case).
216     - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
217     - implemented --include/--exclude options.
218 root 1.15 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
219     by Thomas Linden).
220 root 1.16 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
221     - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
222     - implement $STATICPERLRC.
223     - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
224     to make maintenance easier.
225 root 1.13
226 root 1.11 0.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
227 root 1.10 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
228 root 1.11 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
229     standalone applications.
230 root 1.10
231 root 1.9 0.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
232 root 1.7 - make it work as non-root user.
233 root 1.9 - make module install/linking much more robust against
234     build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
235     the module when it was actualyl built successfully.
236 root 1.8 - split "install" phase into perl install and module
237     install, so fixing your postinstall hook takes less time.
238     - change make clean to delete the sources dir.
239     - add preconfigure hook.
240 root 1.7
241 root 1.6 0.1 Tue Dec 7 10:23:43 CET 2010
242     - initial release.
243    
244     0.0 Mon Dec 6 10:44:38 CET 2010
245 root 1.1 - cloned from Convert::Scalar.
246
