-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-15672 2010-10-04 18:01:25 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : environment-modules Product : Fedora 14 Version : 3.2.8 Release : 1.fc14 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: * Handle the .modulerc/.version in deep modulefile dirs, Patches thanks to Lindsay Todd, and others. * Note that .version takes precedence over .modulerc files. * Renamed init/python to init/python.py and updated with anonymous patch to eliminate 'sed' references * Renamed init/perl to init/perl.pm * Added brief section to module.1 on invoking modules for perl & python * Added Nathaniel Waisbrot's patch for CMake support with tests. * Purging a purged module list does not result in an error. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Oct 4 2010 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.8-1 - Update to 3.2.8 - Drop mandir patch, use --with-def-man-path - BR man-db instead of man -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
