This uncovered 2 documentation and 1 Configure bug in Perl. * Make NDBM_File use libgdbm's ndbm emulation instead of libdb's since DB_File can't handle null keys currently. - debian/patches/04_NDBM_uses_libgdbm * Perl 5.6 has to conflict with the old data-dumper package. Since the package isn't available anymore in potato or woody, this shouldn't be a problem. * incpush will create duplicate path entries in @INC if either vendorlibexp or sitelibexp don't end in the version number of Perl.

This is so the document is actually copyrighted by a legal entity. This closes: bug#60233. * Completely regenerated the *.ph files. There appears to be a clean separation these days of system specific stuff into the asm directories. The only question would be the stuff in the bits/ directory since that seems to be autogenerated by the kernel. The only one that I know needs it is bits/syscall.ph. I've written a script to make sure it takes in all the syscalls as necessary. Note that this is a somewhat long job since h2ph only does a 90% job, so the generated .ph files take a bit of hand-editing. This closes: bug#55794. * Install the Perl Social Contract (Porting/Contract) into the doc directory of the perl-5\d+-doc package. This closes #51963. * Modified lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm so that if the environment variable NO_LD_RUN_PATH is set true, then MakeMaker won't use LD_RUN_PATH in the dynamic_lib method and therefore the .so won't have an rpath built into them.

Don't mention a number. - Convince debian/make.base and debian/make.versions to use $cpu-$system rather than $arch. - Use linux and gnu as acceptable systems in debian/make.base - Don't try to mkdir with '/' on the end of the name in debian/make.base - Skip packages we don't build in debian/make.versions - Change all maintainer scripts to use =cpu=-=system= rather than =arch= - Many changes to debian/rules to allow for conditional testing (not on arm, hurd) and conditional building of threads (not on hurd, 5.004) I think this is the last thing (other than debian/control) that is different between the builds. I'll parameterize debian/control on the next build and we'll be happy. * Change the paths in debian/rules and debian/perl-policy.MK to be FHS compliant. * Make the postinsts/prerms install/remove the compatibility symlink for the move from FSSTD to FHS. * Fix debian/make.versions to be FHS compliant as well. * Use -fPIC in the cccdlflags so that Perl compiles with -fPIC everwhere instead of -fpic in some places. This now complies with policy and closes: Bug#41587, #43930. * Have make test actually use make test-notty so as to not die on automated compiles. Closes: Bug#33225. * Use unlink instead of system("rm -f ...") in debian/make.base. I seem to've gotten carried away using cp -a a while back and used system instead of unlink. Brain needs to be on... * Change the mention of the location of the GPL and Artistic copyright files in debian/copyright from /usr/doc/copyright to /usr/share/common-licenses. * Fix Getopt::Long so that the documentation of the require_order configuration option is now correct closes: Bug#39180. * Embedding works now. It's probably as Tom Rothamel said; Perl just needed to be recompiled with glibc2.1. Closes: Bug#38615. * In gv.c, Fix for 'use Safe;' with -w segfaults from Sarathy installed. Closes: Bug#38533. * In handy.h, only #define HAS_BOOL due to _G_HAVE_BOOL if we're using g++. _G_HAVE_BOOL is defined in _G_config.h. This will probably be included in a gcc program since stdio.h includes libio.h which includes _G_config.h. Thanks to Greg Stark .

This satisfies lintian and closes: bug#44544. * Applied patch from Jim Pick that adds the appropriate arch-specific *.ph files in debian/.ph/asm-arm. This would close bug#44605 but it's requiring some *.ph files he doesn't supply. Mail sent off to him about this. Got .ph/arm-arch/proc/shmparam.ph from him. Closes: bug#44605. * Add Porting/patchls to /usr/bin, fix its path. * install-doc should show be used in both remove && upgrade for prerm. Add stuff to debian/doc.postinst to deal with this problem. * Added re.pm and friends to perl-5.\d+-base. This closes: bug#45552. * Removed the large number of extra POSIX autoloader modules.

There has to be a better way to do this. Fixes from Jim Pick * perl-5.\d+-doc replaces perl (<< 5.004.05-1) so the manpages won't conflict. Closes Bug #40689.

This and -5 were destined for stable and 5.4.17-1 isn't available for that. -- Darren Stalder Fri, 17 Jan 1997 19:04:13 -0800 perl (5.003.07-5) unstable; urgency=low * Moved config.over.MK to the debian directory so that all the files that I add are there. * Just ignore the mkdir on /usr/local as the easiest solution to the NFS-ro /usr/local problem. Suggestion by Guy Maor . -- Darren Stalder Fri, 10 Jan 1997 02:13:22 -0800 perl (5.003.07-4) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed problem with suidperl. It will actually run suid now. -- Darren Stalder Sun, 15 Dec 1996 23:56:59 -0800 perl (5.003.07-3) unstable; urgency=low * Add check to postinst to check for old perlconfig created include directories and removed them. * Made perlbase's Config.pm use the correct install paths * Made perl provide/replace/conflict with perlbase to replace it properly * No longer put libperl.a in suidperl since we not doing shared perl. -- Darren Stalder Thu, 12 Dec 1996 23:40:09 -0800 perl (5.003.07-2) unstable; urgency=low * Changed Perl to provide io as well as conflict with it since it's been subsumed into the main perl distribution. * Applied patch from Nick to make use FileHandle; work transparently although is should be use IO::Handle (or other appropriate IO::) * Applied patch from Randy so that use sigtrap doesn't complain anymore. * Applied patch from Paul that changes use strict tie; into a warning. * Changed perl back to a static libperl * Developed and packaged a perl-base to go on the base-floppies. -- Darren Stalder Thu, 21 Nov 1996 04:13:51 -0800 perl (5.003.07-1) unstable; urgency=medium * added code to postinst/prerm that only creates the empty /usr/local/lib/site_perl directory if /usr/local/lib is writable by root (fixes Bug #5003) * Updated to dpkg standards version 2.1.1.0 (fixes Bugs #3874, 4709) * Pre-generated all the *.ph files that people will probably need. The correct asm directory will have a symbolic link set during postinst. (fixes Bugs #4493, 4739, 1856, 3770, 3277, 3803, 3814, 1099, 3784, 1201, 1170, 3908, 2405, 4717, 2184, 1411, 2440) I wonder if this is a record for the most number of bugs fixed by a change. * Changed debian.rules to generate a shared libperl for the main executable with a static suidperl and debugperl. This should help Fast-CGI, nvi, and if folks are using the compiler. * Edited the copyright file to reflect current reality rather than bygone days (fixes Bug #2589) * Added Pre-depends: ldso to control file in case the user upgrades ldso at the same time they upgrade Perl. (fixes Bug #2589) * Made sure that all files in the examples directory (/usr/doc/perl/examples) were readable (fixes Bug #3995, 4615, 4734, 4870) * Added symbolic link /usr/doc/perl/examples to point to the examples directory. (fixes Bug #3997) (this is obsoleted by new standards) -- Darren Stalder Mon, 28 Oct 1996 05:34:26 -0800 Perl 5.003 Debian 2 Mon Jul 1 01:27:23 1996 Darren Stalder * Changed Depends: libc5, libdb1, libgdbm1 to Pre-Depends * Added check for pre-depends support into preinst * Added a link to ../usr/bin/perl from /bin/perl * Had Configure undef CSH so that we don't need to depend on csh anymore. Perl 5.003 Debian 1 Tue Jun 25 02:25:00 1996 Darren Stalder * Added patches from Charles Bailey to bring Perl up to 5.003 * Included patch set from Andy Dougherty to fix gconvert problem. Perl 5.002 Debian 10 Thu Jun 6 01:05:36 1996 Darren Stalder * The permissions of many of the files were set right. Fix in debian.rules so this can't happen again. Perl 5.002 Debian 9 Tue Jun 4 02:00:00 1996 Darren Stalder * Changed recommends of perl from source | includes to libc5-dev in accord with where the include files actually come from * Added the following Priority fields: Perl - Important (from Packages), perl-suid - Standard, perl-debug - Optional * use dpkg-name instead of a manual move Perl 5.002 Debian 9 Wed May 1 00:13:32 1996 Darren Stalder * Changed the '_' in the the package names to '-' per Ian Jackson. Perl 5.002 Debian 8 Sun Apr 28 18:28:34 1996 Darren Stalder * Added Source and Section fields to all of the control files. Perl 5.002 Debian 8 Fri Apr 26 23:59:47 1996 Darren Stalder * Added tcsh as well as c-shell to the dependency list. I'll remove the tcsh once c-shell is provided by it. * Changed the suidperl from being a question in the postinst to being it's own package. * Added perld (debugging perl) as a package. Both of these are dependent on the specific version of perl. We'll see if this causes a problem in upgrading. * Changed mail address in postinst to debian-bugs@pixar.com. I've got to do something about perlconfig Perl 5.002 Debian 8 Wed Apr 17 02:48:46 1996 Darren Stalder * Changed the tcsh dependency to c-shell. * Added the dosuid define to Configure so that perl would once again create a suidperl. It was dropped from the upstream release. There is a question in the postinst that asks if you want it or not. Perl 5.002 Debian 8 Mon Mar 11 23:01:27 1996 Darren Stalder * Added dependency on tcsh until the globbing works without calling csh. Perl 5.002 Debian 7 Fri Feb 23 21:41:04 1996 Darren Stalder * Added changes from the m68k project to make perl compile cleanly on m68k Perl 5.002 Debian 6 Thu Feb 8 07:42:52 1996 Darren Stalder * Patch from Andreas from Test::Harness for where libwww tickled some bugs. Perl 5.002 Debian 6 Tue Feb 6 21:20:37 1996 Darren Stalder * Paul patched his modules so they comply with version-checking and makes some of them strict clean * Paul patched xsubpp to allow for empty prototypes (1.933) * Patch from Larry to fix a broken study (it didn't know when a string was modified) * Patch from dean to shutup warnings from File:Path Perl 5.002 Debian 5 Tue Feb 6 03:52:37 1996 Darren Stalder * Implemented basic (sev 1) changes to Config.pm for initial fix on Bug #1916. The debian install paths are no longer embedded in it. Perl 5.002 Debian 5 Mon Feb 5 19:02:01 1996 Darren Stalder * Changed to new debian release number since the beta level changed * Larry released beta3 * Some extra configure variables creeped into Configure. Fixed by Tim * Revamped 32bit overflow patch for beta3 from Chip * Don't allow globbing to take place on open if strict refs is in place * Andreas upgraded Test::Harness to 1.06 * Selfstubber nees to tell Exporter that it's autoloaded (andreas) * Fix so that reading the _DATA_ file handle doesn't freeze at EOF (Chip) * debugger still had old version at the end. Deleted (Ilya) * patch to avoid segv's in certain globs (Chip) * make autoloader warnings go away (Ilya) * fix to Makefile.SH so that you don't *have* to have . in your path (Roderick Shertler) * Dean upgraded h2xs to 1.15 Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Sat Feb 3 02:10:40 1996 Darren Stalder * Ilya released a new version of the debugger * A SEGV based on magic is fixed with a patch from Chip Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Tue Jan 30 01:08:52 1996 Darren Stalder * Paul upgraded xsubpp to 1.932 * The documentation for the -M switch had been dropped somewhere. This puts it back in. (from Tom) * $@ would append to itself with each die Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Fri Jan 26 03:15:26 1996 Darren Stalder * perlxs.pod documentation patch by Dean Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Wed Jan 24 00:45:04 1996 Darren Stalder * Andy added an extra $ to nm when he applied my patch - fixed * Paul upgraded xsubpp to 1.931 * Started using the debian-extract-changes.pl from the libdb package Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Tue Jan 23 11:43:51 1996 Darren Stalder * Ilya fixed parts of the Readline pod docs * Andy left out a piece on the pod/Makefile patch * patch to DBL_BIG in case someone tries to build this with a.out Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Mon Jan 22 03:22:34 1996 Darren Stalder * Upgraded to perl5.002beta2 from Andy * Added in the pod fixes from Tom * Upgraded xsubpp to 1.930 from Paul * The debugger was added in twice in 2b2, patch2b2a fixes this * Added a pod/Makefile fix from Andy * Dean upgraded h2x2 to version 1.14 - patched Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Wed Jan 10 04:36:02 1996 Darren Stalder * Added patches for the following: hex('80000000'), 0x80000000 should be the same - Chip Salzenberg a variety of fixes for File::Find - Tim Bunce perlembed.pod is less misleading - Tim Bunce fixes for perlre.pod and perl.pod - Hallvard B Furuseth Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Sun Jan 7 02:47:14 1996 Darren Stalder * Upgraded to the upstream version of perl5.002beta1h from Andy * Removed the a.out generation from debian.rules since I'm not making a.out packages anymore * Changed pod/Makefile from PERL = perl to PERL = ../miniperl so that a build will work if you don't have perl installed already * Changed installperl to not try to guess about links if you installing to a different directory than you will be running from (debian-tmp/usr/bin) Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Fri Dec 29 23:57:14 1995 Darren Stalder * Added a check to see if /usr/local/include is there before attempting to build .ph files from the .h files there (Bug #1856) Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Fri Dec 22 01:39:08 1995 Darren Stalder * Added the patch 5.002b1g from Tom - a documentation only patch Perl 5.002 Debian 3 Tue Dec 19 01:47:19 1995 Darren Stalder * Perl now uses the new sonames for libgdbm and libdb with dependencies on the new names (libdb1 and libgdbm1) Perl 5.002 Debian 3 Mon Dec 18 03:23:04 1995 Darren Stalder * Summary of additions: Added patches a-f from Andy Applied the patch to implement Safe perl that will be coming out soon. Applied some documentation patches - perldata/dsc/mod/ref by TomC, perlembed by JonO, tiehash by RandyR, and perlxs by DeanR * Had to cruft up the Configure script so that it does an nm on static libs and an nm -D on shared libs. I thought just nm should work on both. Perl 5.002 Debian 2 Mon Nov 27 02:34:59 1995 Darren Stalder * Removed find lines in debian.rules binary install since installperl does a good job of it * Removed find lines in postinst/perlconfig since the include file permissions and modes should be fine. * moved /usr/doc/perl/example_code to /usr/doc/examples/perl * Changed reference in example README to 'eg' directory to examples directory * Changed some bad paths in example code directory * Had install check and not ask about installing in odd places if debian-tmp is in the install-path Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Sat Nov 25 01:05:15 1995 Darren Stalder * Removed manual generation of manpages in debian.rules file. Now just call ./installman with the appropriate arguments. * Changed extensions for man1 pages to 1p and man3 pages to 3pm * Changed Configure so that it actually listens when you tell it what extensions to use for for man1 and man3. * Changed references to /usr/local and perl5.000 in the man pages * Changed references in scripts from /usr/local to /usr * Setup config.over file to fix-up config.sh to install into debian-tmp/usr/* instead of trying to do it in sh. The shared libs weren't going in the right place. * Generated absolute path in config.over since the install runs from many different subdirectoris Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Wed Nov 22 20:42:34 1995 Darren Stalder * Applied some doc changes to perlre.pod Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Tue Nov 21 02:57:54 1995 Darren Stalder * Updated to 5.002beta1. * Changed the prerm/postinst scripts to reflect the new version specific *.ph directories * Added dependencies on libgdbm and libdb, giving support for those databases. * Removed gdbm capability from aout version. User can add it if necessary without recompiling perl. * SDBM problem went away with patchlevel 2. Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Sat Nov 18 00:16:15 1995 Darren Stalder * I (Darren Stalder) took over as maintainer of Perl. * Put quotes around $Config{archlibexp} in h2ph.PL to prevent -w warnings. * Changed the various debian files to reflect the new status. * Changed the debian.rules to use elf as the primary development platform with a.out being secondary. * Having problems with SDBM. Perl 5.001 Debian 7 (5.001n) - ??-??-95 Ray Dassen * UNRELEASED * Longer Description field in control file. * Changed Maintainer field to myself. This package should still be considered orphaned though. * a.out version now does dynamic loading via libdld. Perl 5.001 Debian 6 (5.001n) - 04-11-95 Ray Dassen * Updated to 5.001n: big patch, small problems remain. * debian.rules now passes definitions to Configure, instead of running Configure with a modified hints/linux.sh. * Use a variable in debian.rules to test the binary format. * With ELF, DB_File support is disabled (rather ad hoc). * Use softlinks for suidperl and perl. * Added explicit Depends: elf-libc, which was implicit (via elf-libgdbm). Perl 5.001 Debian 5 (5.001m) - 16-10-95 Ray Dassen * ELF version has GDBM support; depends on elf-libgdbm * Diff now relative to Andy Dougherty's patches (these are unofficial, but de facto standard). Perl 5.001 Debian 4 - 13-10-95 Ray Dassen * Interim release, since perl appears to be orphaned. * Updated to 5.001m. Perl 5.001 Debian 3 - 5/9/95 Carl Streeter * Fixed Bug#219. h2ph was making output which didn't work. * put magic in the postinst to fix it. This opens the can * of worms whereby I fix all of h2ph's messups. Ugh. Perl 5.001 Debian 2 - 5/8/95 Carl Streeter * Added dialog.pl interface to dialog for Jim Robinson Perl 5.001 Debian 1 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter * Updated perl version to 5.001. * Added black magic to figure out if a kernel tree was installed * Yelled a lot if one wasn't * added unofficial patches a-e from perl5-porters * added 'perlconfig' script to generate all possible header files (Just a copy of postinst, really) * perl now passes all of the tests. Perl 5.000 Debian 5 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter * fixed bug in h2ph handling on subdirectories * merged all of the unofficial patches from the perl5-porters mailing list. Perl 5.000 Debian 4 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter * h2ph now makes all useful headers. Perl 5.000 Debian 3 - 2/28/95 Carl Streeter * called h2ph to make the handy perl headers. * Put the example code and emacs modes in /usr/doc Perl 5.000 Debian 2 - 2/27/95 Carl Streeter * generally fixed it up so it was useful for debian. Perl 5.000 Debian 1 - Robert Sanders * Initial release. Local variables: mode: debian-changelog End:
