The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.
* Tue Apr 20 2010 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.72-alt1
- B/PerlReq.pm: implemented support for Moose::with()

* Sun Sep 27 2009 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.71-alt1

* Mon May 11 2009 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.70-alt1
- B/Walker.pm: new module, implements optree traversal
- B/Clobbers.pm: new experimental module, for checking global variables
- PerlReq/Utils.pm: updated version formatting algorithm for better precision;
  the most general version format for rpm dependencies is now d.ddd.ddd

* Tue Mar 24 2009 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.8-alt3
- macros (_perl_vendor_check_dso): disabled this check

* Tue Mar 24 2009 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.8-alt2
- macros (_perl_vendor_check_dso): gcc -Wl,--no-as-needed

* Fri May 09 2008 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.8-alt1
- perl.prov: try to detect block-level packages, fixes MP3/Tag.pm version

* Sat Mar 01 2008 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.7-alt1
- B/PerlReq.pm (grok_import): silence numerical warning

* Wed Nov 21 2007 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.6-alt1
- perl.req (isPerl): use plain -T test instead of non-ascii char counter
- perl.{req,prov}.files: use perl's -T test to recheck non-text files

* Sun Sep 30 2007 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.5-alt1
- perl.req: implemented support for "perl -x" re-exec hack (fixes cvs2cl.pl)
- perl.req: implemented self-requires elimination for modules outside
  established path, cf. ALT bug #7315

* Thu Sep 06 2007 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.4-alt1
- made a few fixes for a special case `use Module 0==0', which is
  internally translated into `Module->import(PL_sv_yes)' and should
  yield `perl(Module) >= 1.0' dependency; this also fixes a regression
  introduced in previous release
- B/PerlReq.pm: in $SIG{__DIE__} handler, resort to Carp::cluck() without
  checking $^S (checking $^S is unreliable since O.pm uses eval)
- resolved some test suite issues (hopefully should pass on perl-5.9.5)

* Fri Aug 17 2007 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.3-alt1
- perl.req.files: fixed "text" pattern for file(1)
- B/PerlReq.pm: fixed bug in prevDepF logic
- macros.d/perl5:
  + when doing Build.PL, parse _build/prereqs and dump .perl.req
  + better check for valid Build.PL (must have "dist_name" or "module_name")
- PerlReq/Utils.pm: updated sv_version() algorithm, cf. perlbug 32967
- perl.prov:
  + implemented initial support for version.pm
  + when version assignment is found, check next line if it has
    e.g. '$VERSION = eval $VERSION'
  + strip "use vars" statement before eval, fixes perl-Mozilla-LDAP

* Wed Mar 28 2007 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.2-alt1
- B/PerlReq.pm:
  + fixed Carp::confess syntax problem (rt.cpan.org #22512, reported by
    Steve Peters); actually removed Carp::confess and added $^S check
  + added Cygwin pattern to OS-specific dependencies
  + grok_version: do nothing unless version is set, so that the code
    like 'Module->VERSION()', which yields Module version, does not
    produce dependency on the Module
  + enhanced `use encoding ...' and PerlIO dependency detection
- updated test suite for recent perl-5.8 snapshot
- added new files, for possible use with future rpm-build releases:
  + perl.req.files (perl.prov.files) - will select perl files for req/prov
  + /etc/rpm/macros.d/perl.env - piece of rpm-build scriplets' preamble
  + also placed a few rpm-build perl macros to /etc/rpm/macros.d/perl

* Mon Oct 23 2006 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.1-alt1
- imported sources into git repo, which is available at
  git://git.altlinux.org/people/at/packages/rpm-build-perl.git
- fixed test suite for recent perl-5.8.x snapshot
- perl.{req,prov}: added pod2usage; removed --debug option, use -vv
- perl.prov: implemented limited support for `$VERSION = $Other::VERSION'

* Wed Jun 07 2006 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.6.0-alt1
- B/PerlReq.pm:
  + major internal cleanup
  + a sketch for event-driven optree analysis blah-blah-blah
  + changed rules for dependencies found in BEGIN blocks:
    - never list ones that have not been loaded according to %INC,
      except for 'use autouse qw(Module)' case
    - always list loaded ones (there's no easy way to find out if it's been
      loaded by another module; I tried @INC hook + DB::DB debugger trap but
      it didn't work)
  + two-fold speedup
- macros.d/perl5:
  + export PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL=--skip
  + OTHERLDFLAGS="-lperl -lpthread $EXTRA_LIBS" ("full linkage")
- removed /usr/lib/rpm/base.pm

* Fri Jun 17 2005 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.5.2-alt2
- B/PerlReq.pm: enhanced PerlIO dependency tracking
- B/Perlreq.pm: dbmopen() requires AnyDBM_File.pm
- macros.d/perl5: export XSUBPP_STATIC_XS=1 -- this will make
  some XS functions static (experimental, perl-5.8.7-alt2)

* Thu Jun 02 2005 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.5.2-alt1
- fixed various perl-5.8.7 build issues

- B/PerlReq.pm: track PerlIO dependencies for "open" and "binmode"

- macros.d/perl5: preserve timestamps when making test

* Thu Dec 23 2004 Alexey Tourbin <at@altlinux> 0.5.1-alt2

- added partial support for relative paths
- restored OS2 pattern in skip lists (Andrei Bulava, #5713)
