-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-15773 2011-11-12 03:04:11 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : environment-modules Product : Fedora 15 Version : 3.2.9a Release : 1.fc15 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: Update to 3.2.9a: * Fix the coexistence of load/remove flags (Martin Siegert) * Isolated calls to the new interpreter and get & set env.vars. * Optionally use Tcl memory check routines for malloc/realloc. * Fixed the "module purge" memory corruption (Poor Yorick) * Added support for Ruby (Tammo Tjarks) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Nov 11 2011 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.9a-1 - Update to 3.2.9a - Drop strcpy patch * Thu Sep 22 2011 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> - 3.2.8a-3 - Add patch to fix overlapping strcpy() in Remove_Path, hopefully fixes bug 737043 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
