18 root 1.82 TODO: bundle "<<<<" error => endless loop
19 root 1.87 TODO: keepnl option of some kind
20 root 1.86 - implement lzf compression for library files, use "--compress none"
21     to disable.
22     - configure pushy_https by default, as this extraordinarily stupidly
23 root 1.83 named option apparently breaks urllist completely.
24 root 1.84 - new hook: postcpanconfig.
25 root 1.85 - more aggreessively strip consecutive whitespace when using PPI.
26     - avoid idiotic "Reverse operator" warning when stripping with PPI.
27 root 1.86 - change default compression for perl tarballs to gzip, as upstream
28     keeps changing compression algorithms and gzip is the only stable one.
29     - unset a bunch of environment variables to reduce interference.
30 root 1.77
31 root 1.82 1.46 Tue 15 Feb 2022 19:25:09 CET
32     - when building an app ("mkapp"), staticperl freed the argv too
33     early, which causes memory corruption when perl is later
34     assigning to $0.
35 root 1.81 - default CPAN recommends_policy/suggests_policy to off.
36 root 1.78 - new bundle args: --extra-cflags, --extra-ldflags and --extra-libs.
37 root 1.79 - fix CBuilder workaround to actually use PERL_CFLAGS not PERL_CFLASGS.
38     - minor cosmetic fixes.
39 root 1.78
40 root 1.77 1.45 Fri Oct 19 23:26:54 CEST 2018
41     - work around weird, buggy and broken stacksize check in newer Storable.
42     - create a framework for patching modules before make, thanks to Storable.
43     - try to work around install phase changing thw cwd,m so instsrc . no
44     longer fails because the install dependency changed the cwd.
45 root 1.76 - restore PL_origfilename and $0 to argv[0] before running bootstrap,
46     so the script name is no longer '-e' in error messages and so on.
47 root 1.74 - PERL_VERSION can now be a full URL or a directory.
48 root 1.73 - default to stableperl.
49 root 1.75 - add -Uversiononly to Configure args, as it's required by staticperl, and
50     one of the many unrelated things usedevel needlessly toggles.
51 root 1.73
52 root 1.71 1.44 Tue Jul 7 01:32:49 CEST 2015
53 root 1.64 - added Net::SSLeay hint, tested and improved by gleeco.
54 root 1.65 - fix quoting bug, avoid failure when EXTRA_MODULES contains spaces.
55 root 1.67 - enable build_requires_install_policy to work around one of the myriad
56 root 1.66 bugs in Module::Build.
57     - support concurrent access to the DLCACHE.
58 root 1.67 - install ExtUtils::CBuilder early, to improve chances of succeeding
59     slightly by having a newer version.
60 root 1.68 - patch ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base::have_compiler to always return
61     false, as ExtUtils::CBuilder blindly builds shared libs on systems
62     that cannot build shared libs and modules relying on it usually
63     fail for similar reasons.
64 root 1.67 - set LD/CC/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS to work around the endlessly buggy ExtUtils::CBuilder,
65     which incidentally is a byproduct (read: garbage) of Module::Build.
66     - be more aggressive about post-install patching, to avoid stuff falling
67     through the cracks.
68 root 1.69 - override MAP_TARGET for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, as some modules
69     provide their own name for the perl binary (which is not what we want).
70 root 1.70 - update DynaLoader patch for current ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
71 root 1.59
72 root 1.63 1.43 Wed Apr 18 14:38:43 CEST 2012
73     - remove the temporary MakeMaker patch, as either Pod::Parser or
74     MakeMaker have been fixed. Also make sure we pull MakeMaker
75     from CPAN. This might fix the CPAN dependency problems with
76     newer perl versions (at least 5.14.2).
77 root 1.62 - staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
78     - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.
79    
80 root 1.61 1.42 Mon Mar 5 08:16:02 CET 2012
81     - actually, really do it.
82    
83 root 1.60 1.41 Mon Mar 5 08:14:11 CET 2012
84     - temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
85     break Pod::Parser.
86    
87 root 1.59 1.4 Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
88 root 1.55 - new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
89 root 1.59 - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
90     - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
91 root 1.56 - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
92 root 1.54 - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
93 root 1.55 - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
94     static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
95 root 1.56 - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
96     was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
97     - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
98     - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
99     been specified.
100 root 1.59 - weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
101 root 1.56 - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
102     when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
103     - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
104     - fix a memleak in static::list.
105 root 1.59 - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
106 root 1.57 (--allow-dynamic).
107     - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.
108 root 1.53
109 root 1.52 1.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
110     - pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
111     - improved documentation a bit.
112    
113 root 1.51 1.3 Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
114     - the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
115     - package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
116     for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.
117    
118 root 1.49 1.22 Sun May 1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
119 root 1.47 - prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
120     commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
121     using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
122     for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
123 root 1.46 - use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
124 root 1.48 - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
125 root 1.47 these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
126     instead.
127 root 1.48 - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
128     Pango and Gtk2 build.
129     - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
130     often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
131     is a bug in Pango).
132     - create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
133     after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
134     - rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
135     - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
136     - new "staticperl perl" command.
137 root 1.50 - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.
138 root 1.46
139 root 1.45 1.21 Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
140     - ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
141     by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
142     - some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
143     force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
144     forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
145     anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
146     - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
147     -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
148     - new hook: patchconfig.
149    
150 root 1.44 1.2 Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
151     - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
152     keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
153     - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
154     for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
155     - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
156     (it fails to build extensions statically).
157 root 1.43 - use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).
158    
159 root 1.42 1.11 Tue Mar 8 18:37:00 CET 2011
160 root 1.41 - no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
161     as it is no longer useful.
162 root 1.42 - fix output shortening in testsuite.
163 root 1.41
164 root 1.40 1.1 Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
165     - use a better -M syntax.
166 root 1.38 - the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
167     - --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
168 root 1.36 - embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
169 root 1.32 was used before defined.
170     - mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
171 root 1.30 - more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
172 root 1.40 - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
173 root 1.32 - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
174 root 1.33 - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
175     can be 0 (and is then ignored).
176 root 1.34 - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
177 root 1.39 - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
178     - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).
179 root 1.30
180 root 1.29 1.0 Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
181     - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
182     /usr/bin/perl.
183     - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
184     (only in the testsuite).
185 root 1.26 - use curl -f instead of just curl.
186     - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
187     - clarify license.
188    
189 root 1.25 0.92 Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
190     - major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
191     it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
192     - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
193     supported as abbreviation).
194 root 1.24 - "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
195 root 1.25 (which didn't even do anything...).
196     - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
197     - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
198 root 1.20
199 root 1.23 0.912 Wed Dec 15 01:14:26 CET 2010
200     - print a longer and hopefully useful message when Configure fails.
201     - remove PERL_CPPFLAGS, replace with PERL_CCFLAGS, which get appended
202     tot he ccflags, instead of overriding them.
203     - introduce PERL_CC.
204 root 1.22 - work around *bsd stupidity again, where even root can't replace
205     files with mv :/.
206 root 1.23 - stop command processing when a command fails (e.g. staticperl mkperl
207     will stop if the install step fails).
208     - let perl do most configuration when running make test, to increase
209     chances of success.
210 root 1.1
211 root 1.18 0.911 Sat Dec 11 16:50:41 CET 2010
212     - argl, testsuite had a duplicated test.
213     - use -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition for better portability.
214    
215 root 1.17 0.91 Fri Dec 10 22:13:43 CET 2010
216     - add testsuite (yeah, should be optional - send patches).
217 root 1.16 - started to maintain two demo builds: bigperl and smallperl,
218     on http://staticperl.schmorp.de.
219 root 1.13 - implemented --staticlib option.
220 root 1.14 - special unicore/ compression (but much more could be done,
221     especially for the uncompressed case).
222     - implemented a strip cache, speeding up ppi stripping enourmously.
223     - implemented --include/--exclude options.
224 root 1.15 - try to port the tar call to freebsd (reported and analyzed
225     by Thomas Linden).
226 root 1.16 - (hopefully) better meaning of verbose levels.
227     - avoid deadlocking in --eval (unlikely, but possible).
228     - implement $STATICPERLRC.
229     - do all option AND bundle file processing with Getopt::Long,
230     to make maintenance easier.
231 root 1.13
232 root 1.11 0.9 Wed Dec 8 23:26:48 CET 2010
233 root 1.10 - support AutoLoader'ed functions with prototypes.
234 root 1.11 - new mkapp / --app option for mkbundle, to create
235     standalone applications.
236 root 1.10
237 root 1.9 0.2 Tue Dec 7 21:50:07 CET 2010
238 root 1.7 - make it work as non-root user.
239 root 1.9 - make module install/linking much more robust against
240     build and link failures, i.e. try to only install
241     the module when it was actualyl built successfully.
242 root 1.8 - split "install" phase into perl install and module
243     install, so fixing your postinstall hook takes less time.
244     - change make clean to delete the sources dir.
245     - add preconfigure hook.
246 root 1.7
247 root 1.6 0.1 Tue Dec 7 10:23:43 CET 2010
248     - initial release.
249    
250     0.0 Mon Dec 6 10:44:38 CET 2010
251 root 1.1 - cloned from Convert::Scalar.
252
