Releases will be coming quickly as 5.8.1 nears completion.
The important thing here is that 6.10_08 fixed a long standing bug where
arguments to a child's WriteMakefile() would get clobbered by the parent.
This exposed a bug where the child's arguments would get .. prepended to
them.
So projects involving recursive Makefiles should now build correctly. This
might be different than they used to and might expose old work arounds you
might have had for this bug.
6.13 Thu Jul 31 16:48:01 PDT 2003
- Generated META.yml now has the prereqs in sorted order (Andy Lester)
- Arguments to child Makefile.PLs were still having .. prepended. This
was exposed by the earlier fix of rt.perl.org 4345.
- extralibs.ld (for static builds) wasn't being cleaned up.
6.12 Tue Jul 29 22:19:38 PDT 2003
- Should any of your prefixes be /, MakeMaker might lose this and
prepend your prefix as "prefixyour/directory" rather than
"prefix/your/directory" (Ed Moy bleadperl 20283)
- Reversing "realclean was duplicating work already done by clean"
(CVS 1.124 MM_Unix.pm). Turns out it wasn't a duplication and this
was causing INST_* files to be left behind if your INST_LIB wasn't
blib/* as in the perl core. realclean now removes the files copied
to INST_*.
- Eliminating xsubpp_version(). No longer relevant. It was checking
for a feature added to xsubpp before 5.003_07 and doing it in a
really bizarre way.
6.11 Thu Jul 24 01:24:37 PDT 2003
- Small grammatical doc touch up by Sean Burke
- Making basic.t clean up better after itself so it can be run
twice without setting up and cleaning up Big-Dummy again.
* Noting where to find make in the README
* Noting that MakeMaker does not produce a GNU make compatible Makefile
on Windows.
* 6.10_08 with a new version #.
