For example, when releasing 5.20.2 we need to check against 5.18.4 too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: Porting/release_managers_guide.pod | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/Porting/release_managers_guide.pod b/Porting/release_managers_guide.pod index 7f80ee7..76e0f45 100644 --- a/Porting/release_managers_guide.pod +++ b/Porting/release_managers_guide.pod @@ -535,6 +535,20 @@ then configure and build perl so that you have a Makefile and porting tools: $ ./Configure -Dusedevel -des && make +=head3 Check module versions + +For each Perl release since the previous release of the current branch, check +for modules that have identical version numbers but different contents by +running: + + $ ./perl Porting/cmpVERSION.pl --tag=v5.X.YY + +(This is done automatically by F<t/porting/cmp_version.t> for the previous +release of the current branch, but not for any releases from other branches.) + +Any modules that fail will need a version bump, plus a nudge to the upstream +maintainer for 'cpan' upstream modules. + =head3 update Module::CoreList =head4 Bump Module::CoreList* $VERSIONs -- Perl5 Master Repository
