Mark Leighton Fisher noticed that PL_FILES weren't working properly anymore. This was due to a refactoring typo and has been fixed and tested. Also the full behavior of PL_FILES has been documented. So this is a quick alpha release to knock around to make sure the new PL_FILES.t test works before putting out a quick 6.27. 6.26_01 Mon Mar 28 21:34:39 PST 2005 * PL_FILES was broken in the last release. The .PL files were not being passed the file they were to generate. * How PL_FILES runs the programs and what it does with the value is now documented. * The default behavior of PL_FILES is now documented. 6.26 Mon Mar 21 20:36:22 PST 2005 6.25_12 Fri Mar 18 16:15:35 PST 2005 - Use the generic dmake search.cpan.org URL in the README so the newest version is found. - Fixed pm_to_blib trouble on VMS introduced in 6.25_10. 6.25_11 Tue Mar 15 02:00:20 PST 2005 - Fixed minor parent class dependency loop in ExtUtils::MM_Any. - Fixed a circular dependency on processed PL files introduced as part of RT 6460 in 6.25_02. 6.25_10 Sun Mar 13 16:14:04 PST 2005 - pm_to_blib.ts is gone, back to pm_to_blib (except on VMS). I couldn't make it work and still retain backwards compatibility. This fixes the recompilation problems that plagued _09 and various previous alpha releases. 6.25_09 Sat Mar 12 10:10:34 PST 2005 - Stubbing out PASTHRU on VMS. $(MMSQUALIFIERS) should do the equivalent and better. - Added test to check for the existence of a compiler so XS tests are now possible. 6.25_08 Tue Feb 8 09:04:36 EST 2005 - Fixing xsubpp on VMS. Had a foo/bar path in it. - Turning XSUBPP into a runable command by the addition of PERLRUN made it unusable as a dependency. Added XSUBPPRUN for that and left XSUBPP alone. - Removed DESTDIR from PASTHRU as install is not recursive and it can make commands too long on VMS. - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. Using .exists files everywhere. - Restore missing *.Opt clean on VMS. - Fix .exists files accidentally getting caught in static builds. - Older versions of MMS cannot handle directory targets at all. - Add Interix support ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - distsign target changed to distsignature to avoid clash with Module::Install 6.25_07 Fri Dec 31 03:47:20 EST 2004 - perllocal on VMS was inserting executables twice. - No longer using $(IGNORE) macro. Turns out MMS/K was not honoring it. Using "-$(NOECHO) command" which seems to make everybody happy. - Executables with no extension weren't getting installed on VMS due to a bug in rename(). Broken sometime in this series of alphas. 6.25_06 Sun Dec 26 17:21:37 EST 2004 - Forgot to define BOOTDEP macro. - .exists files are back. Directories cannot be used directly as targets as their mod time changes too frequently. * Added INSTALLBASE as an alternative to PREFIX but haven't documented it yet. I'll do that next release. 6.25_05 Wed Dec 22 07:59:02 EST 2004 - One of the 6.25 alphas broke BSD make. It doesn't like "- @ command". Fixed by adding an $(IGNORE) macro. - 6.25 alphas caused a Makefile to be added to the dist. Fixed. - The new cd() code needed to be dependent on dmake or nmake for Windows. Not Win9x vs WinNT/XP. 6.25_04 Tue Dec 21 00:53:06 EST 2004 - 6.25_03 was always rebuilding XS modules. 6.25_03 Mon Dec 20 23:04:22 EST 2004 - dir_target() is back. Now each directory to be created has its own target like before, but no more .exists or blibdirs.ts files. This ensures that each blib directory is created as necessary and fixes things like SVN's perl bindings. 6.25_02 Mon Dec 20 03:31:49 EST 2004 - Set PM_FILTER as late as possible so it can see all the earlier macro definitions. Necessary for challenged make implementations like nmake. Should fix Mail::SpamAssassin installs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 4545] - clean and realclean are now more careful about accidentally deleting directories instead of files. [rt.cpan.org 6851] - small fix for parallel builds, make sure pm_to_blib has run before we try to use stuff in blib. [rt.cpan.org 6460] - MAKEFILE=foo appears to have been broken for recursive builds and several other things. I think this was broken by 6.18. 6.25_01 Fri Dec 17 21:29:04 EST 2004 * *.bak added to the default MANIFEST.SKIP. * META.yml will no longer be generated in the build directory. It will only appear in the distdir. This should make it easier on developers, they don't have to worry about checking the file in all the time. * Similarly, the SIGNATURE file will not be updated in the build directory. It will only be generated in the distdir. - A bunch of redundant Win9x and VMS code removed. - 'make test' on Windows no longer pre-expands its list of test files. This caused problems on large distributions like bioperl. Thanks to Tim Bunce for suggesting the obvious fix. 6.25 Wed Dec 15 06:59:46 EST 2004 - Build.PL was being considered like Module_pm.PL. Build.PL is now ignored. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [rt.cpan.org 8809] - Devel::Cover cover_db/ directory now ignored by MANIFEST.SKIP
