-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-10725 2009-10-27 04:59:33 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : environment-modules Product : Fedora 11 Version : 3.2.7b Release : 5.fc11 URL : http://modules.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Provides dynamic modification of a user's environment Description : The Environment Modules package provides for the dynamic modification of a user's environment via modulefiles. Each modulefile contains the information needed to configure the shell for an application. Once the Modules package is initialized, the environment can be modified on a per-module basis using the module command which interprets modulefiles. Typically modulefiles instruct the module command to alter or set shell environment variables such as PATH, MANPATH, etc. modulefiles may be shared by many users on a system and users may have their own collection to supplement or replace the shared modulefiles. Modules can be loaded and unloaded dynamically and atomically, in an clean fashion. All popular shells are supported, including bash, ksh, zsh, sh, csh, tcsh, as well as some scripting languages such as perl. Modules are useful in managing different versions of applications. Modules can also be bundled into metamodules that will load an entire suite of different applications. NOTE: You will need to get a new shell after installing this package to have access to the module alias. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Oct 26 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.7b-5 - Don't assume different shell init scripts exist (bug #530770) * Fri Oct 23 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.7b-4 - Don't load bash init script when bash is running as "sh" (bug #529745) * Mon Oct 19 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.7b-3 - Support different flavors of "sh" (bug #529493) * Wed Sep 23 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.7b-2 - Add patch to fix modulecmd path in init files * Wed Sep 23 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.7b-1 - Update to 3.2.7b * Mon Sep 21 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.7-1 - Update to 3.2.7, fixes bug #524475 - Drop versioning patch fixed upstream * Fri Jul 24 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <[email protected]> - 3.2.6-8 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #530770 - environment-modules.i686 0:3.2.7b-4.fc12 breaks (at least) gdm https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530770 [ 2 ] Bug #529493 - Bash specific feature in /etc/profile.d/modules.sh causes KSH errors. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529493 [ 3 ] Bug #529745 - Loading modules from a script fails with environment-modules >3.6.8 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529745 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
