perl-5.005 (5.005.03-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Many changes to make Perl build on Hurd from Marcus Brinkman, closes:
Bug#31621.
- Update debian/README to partially reflect the current situation; no
need to type root password; the problem with locales was fixed long ago.
- Update debian/copyright to talk about Debian rather than Debian/GNU;
There are now many O'Reilly books on Perl. 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
<tom-pine-1@onegeek.org> 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 <gsstark@mit.edu>. This
can be closed once it is tested.
* Namespace was cleaned up a while ago, closes: bug#33844.
* Complaining locales was fixed a while ago, closes: bug#30207.
* Perl has been compiled with glibc for a while, closes: bug#29452.
* rename has been included, closes: bug#26616.
* cperl-mode is installed in the right place now, closes: bug#24249.
* Specify man1dir in Configure so that it goes to the FHS compliant
place.
* Fix the paths for $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/inst $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/xsubpp
$(LIBDIR)/File/DosGlob.pm to make lintian happy.
* Make $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/inst $(LIBDIR)/ExtUtils/xsubpp executable to
make lintian happy.
* Remove $(LIBDIR)/CGI/Fast.pm since we don't include FCGI.pm. This
satisfies lintian and closes: bug#44544.
* Applied patch from Jim Pick <jimpick@jimpick.com> 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. The
locale stuff that's part of POSIX don't need these.
* I've already moved to /usr/share/man in this package and so, this
closes: bug#45678.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-3) unstable; urgency=low
* run with 'make LD_RUN_PATH=""' so that we don't have rpath information
in the shared libraries. (Many lintian warnings.)
* Make the shell read in the perl-base.preinst script not fail when
stdin is /dev/null. (Closes Bug#41598)
* Rename asm-ppc (as it is in the linux tree) to asm-powerpc (as policy
says it should be). Closes Bug#42803.
* Add DirHandle.pm to base. (I thought I had done this.) Closes
Bug#33229.
* Implemented patch from Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmw.ac.uk> that fixes
up INSTALLPRIVLIB so as to make it easier for packagers. Closes
Bug#42421.
* Provide perl5-suid. Closes Bug#42884.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Added arm architecture to debian/make.base, Closes Bug #40666.
(Thanks to Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com>)
* Made a few more changes to debian/rules to support bugs in fileutils
(see bug #39680 that I filed) as well as testing for arm under make
test and letting it fail. There has to be a better way to do this.
Fixes from Jim Pick <jim@jimpick.com>
* perl-5.\d+-doc replaces perl (<< 5.004.05-1) so the manpages won't
conflict. Closes Bug #40689.
(Thanks to Joel Klecker <jk@espy.org>)
* Conditionalize the inclusion of ndbm.h in ext/NDBM_File/NDBM_File.xs
so that m68k (still on glibc 2.0) will build. Closes Bug #40781.
(thanks to Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>)
* New version of perl-policy from Raphael.
* Fix Config.pm's startperl to be /usr/bin/perl (or
/usr/bin/perl-thread) when the build is done.
* Fix the installman[13]dir's in Config.pm so a simple perl Makefile.PL;
make test; make install will work from the user's point of view.
Closes bugs #34106, #15797, #28955.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* perl.1p.gz didn't have an update-alternatives --remove in the prerm.
* Make perl-$(version)-thread provide perl5-thread so packages using
perl-thread don't have to depend on a versioned perl-thread.
* No longer conflict with data-dumper so that it can remain installed
while perl-5.004 and the older packages need it.
* No longer ask if we should abort during the preinst. Perl 5.004 isn't
diabled with the installation of Perl 5.005, so there is no reason.
* Convince commands with no manpages that they should have an
unversioned symlink installed by update-alternatives.
* Installed updated eg/rename as a command. eg/rename was updated by
Robin Barker <Robin.Barker@npl.co.uk).
* Added the Perl Policy to the doc package. Registered it with
doc-base. I'll install the other docs with it later.
* Change the description of perl-base to mention perl-=version= rather
than just perl.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix typo in perl-base.postinst (=version instead of =version=)
* Add all of POSIX.pm,.so,.al to perl-base in an initial attempt at
supporting Internationalization in the base disks.
We'll need to remove *.al files that aren't necessary and put them in
perl.
* Automate the update-alternatives lines for the man pages for
perl-thread. This way when another Thread::*.3pm comes along, I don't
have to notice, it will.
* Add/Remove /usr/local/lib/site_perl/$arch-linux-thread in
thread.postinst/prerm if /usr/local/lib is writable.
* Fixed missing parens around $version when moving perl.1p back to perl
from perl-doc
* Mentioned installing 5.004_05 in copyright file as well as correcting
the path to CPAN on www.perl.com.
* Add Debian changelog to perl-base.
* Remaining typo fixes from Raphael:
/usr/man/man1/perl-=version=.1p.gz in postinst
startperl should be #!/usr/bin/perl-$(version)
the asm *.ph directories should be =version=/=arch=-version
* perl-$(version)-base should conflict with perl-base rather than perl.
This way, if someone has never installed the full Perl package, they
still conflict until all the non-versioned Perl is gone.
* rename threadperl-5.005 to perl-5.005-thread. Raphael is right;
tab-completion is handy.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Integrated Raphael's changes without the debhelper stuff.
* Made cperl-mode.el be version specific with alternatives.
* Raphael updated the Standards-Version in control to 2.5.0.
* Raphael fixed up the base.postinst so that the newly installed
(not-yet-versioned) perl runs update-alternatives.
* Made perl-version-doc Recommend perl-version instead of just Suggest
it. perl-doc should only not be installed in special cases.
* Made perl-version-thread Priority: extra instead of optional.
Considering the experimental nature of threaded Perl right now, I'd
say it qualifies having specialized requirements.
* Applied the same changes to the i386-linux-thread tree as I did to the
i386-linux tree. Don't want my paths leaking into Config.pm.

* New upstream release. Note that this is a very basic release so that
module authors can release their stuff under 5.005. (Fixes Bug
#26072)
* Defined d_statblks in Configure (Fixes Bug #22367)

* Fix symlinks for perl-suid and perl-debug doc directories. (Fixes Bug
#19867)
* Make sure that *all* files are readable. (Fixes Bug #20791)
* Make changes to c2ph.PL (includes pstruct), perldoc, and s2p so that
they try to use POSIX::tmpnam() in creating temp files. Note that
perlbug already checks for the existence of the temp file before
creating it. (Fixes Bug #19805)
* Apply patch from next maintenance release so that -e scripts are kept
in memory rather than written to a temporary file.
* Fix typo in perlop(1p). Thanks to Richard Braakman <dark@xs4all.nl>
for pointing this out. (Fixes Bug #22488)
* Add /usr/doc/perl/perlfaq-is-free to explain Tom Christiansen's intent
with his perlfaq copyright. (Closes Bugs #10286, #22705)

* Add copyright file to perl-base since it makes it comply with the
standards and doesn't take up much space. (Fixes Bug #19384)
* Added files to base so that dpkg-ftp is fully supported. (Actually in
-4, but I forgot to mention it.) (Fixes Bug #16134)
* Added even more files to base so that libnet is fully supported.
(Fixes Bug #18338, #18593)
* Remove /usr/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pm - yet another file left over from
disk install. (Fixes Bug #17970, #18823)
* Specify -DSTRUCT_TM_HASZONE to keep POSIX from dumping core. (Fixes
Bug #17393)
* debugperl and suidperl now have manpages that are symbolic links to
perl(1p). I debated linking debugperl(1p) to perlrun(1p) and
suidperl(1p) to perlsec(1p) but didn't think that was appropriate.
(Fixes Bugs #6295, #6330, #9847, #9995, #10102).
* Changed description of perldebug to say that it shows internals of
Perl and helps debug Perl. (Fixes Bug #17547).
* Changed the permissions on suidperl to give group and world read
access. It makes no sense to restrict read access when anyone can get
a copy of off CPAN.
* Also registered suidperl with suidmanager. (Fixes Bug #15702)
* Remove the execute permission and use strip --strip-unneeded on all
the .so's. (Fixes #5100, #5124, #6328, #6903)
* Sym-Link find2perl.1p.gz and pod2latex.1p.gz to undocumented.7.gz until
I can write something or it's provided. Sym-Link pod2text.1p.gz to
Pod::Text.3pm.gz. (Fixes #6328)
* Sym-link /usr/doc/perl/changelog to /usr/doc/perl/Changes so that the
latest upstream changes file has the proper name.
* Tell perl_archive in ExtUtils::MM_Unix to return -lc so that the
shared libraries built with MakeMaker have libc dependency information
embedded in them. Note that if the module specifies it's own
libraries, those will come after the -lc. If this is a problem, the
module should specify -lc in its library list.

* A start on building a libperl5.so.\d+. I'm going to put this into
since 1) Perl is linking with a static libperl.a and 2) people may
want to install libperl5.so.\d+ without installing perl.
* Oops. I hadn't considered the chance that the old perl package would
be replaced by the new perl package (without Perl) before perl.base
was configured. Added a pre-depends of perl-base (>=5.004.04-2) to
make sure that Perl is always installed on an upgrade.
* The first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time. The remaining 10%
of the time takes the other 90%. Building a libperl ran into some
interesting snags and will not debut with this version.
* Adapted patch by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> that uses
if's in the postinst so that we don't get false negatives on
install. Took the chance to change the find/xargs to use -print0/-0
jic.

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,

* Had to cruft up the Configure script so that it does an nm on

should work on both.
Perl 5.002 Debian 2 Mon Nov 27 02:34:59 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Removed find lines in debian.rules binary install since
installperl does a good job of it

Configure with a modified hints/linux.sh.
* Use a variable in debian.rules to test the binary format.

* Added explicit Depends: elf-libc, which was implicit (via elf-libgdbm).
