=== version history for CPAN::Site *** See the CPAN6 development at http://cpan6.org version 1.04: Mon Oct 26 14:56:57 CET 2009 Improvements: - produce error, not info, if a package cannot be collected. - some informational messages from mirror and index processes decreased to "debug" level (-vvv or --mode="DEBUG"). - better attempt for VERSION parsing. - use age of index to determine whether an archive has to be inspected again. version 1.03: Wed Oct 7 19:46:57 CEST 2009 Fixes: - use $file->full_path i.s.o $file->name for files in a tar, required to correctly access some tar archives. rt.cpan.org#49795 [Matisse Enzer] and [Alex Efros] - accept archives which end on .tgz - keep highest version number of a pm, not the last [Alex Efros] version 1.02: Wed Sep 9 22:44:46 CEST 2009 Fixes: - "version" action did not produce version - "mirror" did not initialize LWP::UserAgent - some modules, like DBI, specify package versions outside the package scope. Improvements: - prefer new CPANSITE_LOCAL as alternative for CPANSITE environment variable. version 1.01: Wed Sep 2 12:55:19 CEST 2009 Changes: - removed the need for client-side CPAN::Site installation. - update 02packages after 1 hour (was 1 day), because CPAN is refreshing more often, lately. - removed [MYCPAN] argument to "index", because there is a --site option now. - CPANSITE_CPAN renamed to CPANSITE_GLOBAL - option --stand-alone replaces --cpan '' Fixes: - require Log::Report 0.25, not the non-existent 0.27 Improvements: - indexer synchronizes with core CPAN after 1 hour (was 1 day) because CPAN is faster than previously. - CPANSITE_CPAN environment variable as alternative to --site - Replace IO::Compress::* by IO::Zlib, which is already required by Archive::Tar. - explain changes in explain_101.txt - --cpan option alternative added: -c version 1.00: Tue Sep 1 10:48:02 CEST 2009 Large version number jump to indicate structural rewrite of internals. This may trigger someones awareness to be more careful in the upgrade. Changes: - removed mkpackages which was kept for backward compatibility - do not extract readme's anymore, probably no-one uses them Improvements: - use Archive::Tar to unpack archives, to replace the tricky (but fast) scanning of the tar binary. - replace use of external 'gzip' binary to IO::Compress - use File::Spec in stead of UNIX syntax. The module is probably still not usable on Windows, but coming close. - use Log::Report for error/trace/verbose - rename t/CPAN-Site-Index.t into t/10index.t - improved trace on index - new 'mirror' option of cpansite version 0.26: Mon Aug 31 09:51:55 CEST 2009 Fixes: - do not use /bin/pwd in t/pod.t - accept http to retrieve data from central CPAN as alternative to ftp, by using LWP in stead of Net::FTP Improvements - clean-up/extend manual of CPAN::Site version 0.25: Wed Jan 21 09:59:41 CET 2009 Fixes: - also client requires HTTP::Date Improvements: - regressions tests for fix implemented in previous release. [Matisse Enzer] version 0.24: Tue Dec 30 11:36:39 CET 2008 Fixes: - do only include package names found on usual locations. rt.cpan.org#41935 [Matisse Enzer] Improvements: - speed-up version 0.23: Tue Dec 23 13:30:25 CET 2008 Fixes: - tests require Test::More 0.82 [cpantesters] version 0.22: Mon Dec 22 15:26:11 CET 2008 Fixes: - pre-req version.pm [Sander Hulst] Improvements: - regression test by [Matisse Enzer] - packages without version are enlisted [Matisse Enzer] - without version, then enlisted as undef version 0.21: Thu May 8 13:15:22 CEST 2008 Fixes: - use CPAN::HandleConfig if available. rt.cpan.org#34869 [Alexander Kühne] version 0.20: Thu Apr 10 12:13:26 CEST 2008 - accept version objects [Alex Efros] - no warning "undef" when archive location is not specified - 01mailrc and 03modlist are updated from the real CPAN, not just empty. Motivated by contributions by [Alex Efros] - create directory trees when missing. Only the top-level must exist, to protect against errors. - Makefile.PL query about role not used [Alex Efros] - "Cpansite for the impatient" documentation by [Ales Efros] version 0.19: Fri Mar 21 08:13:19 CET 2008 - fix in distname [Matisse Enzer] version 0.18: Wed Mar 19 18:35:37 CET 2008 - cpansite script should strip file: with two slashes or none, to permit absolute path. - fix when local archive is empty - only take pm's from lib- and top-dir, not f.i. from the test-scripts [Matisse Enzer] version 0.17: Wed Jan 30 16:44:07 CET 2008 - fix for open file error [Matisse Enzer] - different way of defining the README output filename [Matisse Enzer] - minor output improvements. [Matisse Enzer] version 0.16: Fri Nov 9 23:38:10 CET 2007 - use package directory explicitly in the creation of the readme extract. [Matisse Enzer] version 0.15: Fri Jun 8 17:01:30 CEST 2007 - document how to change urllist from CPAN.pm shell [Abe Timmerman] - removed short filename-support (MSDOS) from CPAN::Site - use empty 03modlist.data.gz - add t/pod.t version 0.14: Tue Dec 19 13:42:48 CET 2006 - use oodist (from OODoc) to produce manual pages - official new maintainer MARKOV - first public release of rewrite. version 0.13: - depend on HTTP::Date if server - index generation code moved from bin/cpansite into lib/CPAN/Site/Index.pm - Add CPANSITE_ROLE environment variable to Makefile.PL - show version of cpansite when shell is started version 0.12: - 01mailrc is removed when the core cpan is merged in, and created otherwise. version 0.11: - use HTTP::Date to produce timestamp on package version 0.10: - use functions - variables in CAPS are reserved for Perl - %VERSION and %PATH combined in %pkgs, which contains [$version,$path] entries - only install details file after success - command-line option parsing - trace to STDOUT, new option verbose - CPAN::Site is very useful, and therefore don't call it ALPHA - regex to find version now accepts "our" - renamed mkpackages to 'cpansite index' - cpansite also can start shell and install modules - do not ask for URL at installation, because different people may want different local archives: use environment variable CPANSITE. - moved Site.pm to lib/CPAN 2006-03-19 Ulrich Pfeifer * mkpackages: applied patch from Matisse Enzer so that it uses CPAN::Checksums to generate the CHECKSUMS files. This probably renders it useless for ancient per installations. Even my debian Perl 5.8 requires me to fetch these: Compress-Bzip2-2.09 Compress-Zlib-1.41 Data-Compare-0.13 Text-Glob-0.06 Number-Compare-0.01 File-Find-Rule-0.28 Digest-SHA-5.34 CPAN-Checksums-1.039 So fall back to the last version if that is too much hassle for you. I may think about a fall back mode if CPAN::Checksums is not available. 2005-09-18 Ulrich Pfeifer * Integrated patch from Matisse Enzer to generate .readme files. * Switching from MD5 to Digest::MD5 * Gzip now called with the local file name $_. $File::Find::name should not have worked? 1999-07-26 Ulrich Pfeifer * Site.pm: Added CPAN::Config->load call which is required by newer CPAN.pm Wed May 6 13:26:13 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer * mkpackages: Rudimentary CHECKSUMS support Tue May 5 12:40:27 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer * mkpackages (wanted): 'package' now found even if in the first line of a file. Tue Mar 3 12:45:42 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer * mkpackages (wanted): $VERSION is found now even if line crosses block boundary. Tue Jan 13 11:58:31 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer * mkpackages: Now removes 'id/' from path Thu Jan 8 12:26:42 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer * Makefile.PL: Ask for default URL Wed Jan 7 20:15:54 1998 Ulrich Pfeifer * mkpackages (wanted): now parses tar files to extract package names and version Revision history for Perl extension CPAN::Site. 0.01 Wed Jan 7 14:32:47 1998 - original version; created by h2xs 1.18
