Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.
0.63 July 31, 2018
Move MockHomeDir.pm from underneath t/ to underneath lib/.
The functions exported by ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Auxiliary are intended to be
used in testing this distribution -- and all distributions which subclass it,
such as ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP. Auxiliary.pm uses functions found in
MockHomeDir.pm. But unless MockHomeDir.pm is underneath lib/ExtUtils/, it
won't be indexed by CPAN and won't be found by the test suites of subclasses.
Hence, move it to underneath lib/.
0.62 May 15, 2018
Update content of generated Makefile.PL to include META_MERGE where the
system's ExtUtils::MakeMaker is new enough to accommodate that element. While
this is a step on the road to a "git-ready" module, this does not amount to a
change in effective functionality.
0.61 May 14, 2018
Update content of MANIFEST.SKIP (when INCLUDE_MANIFEST_SKIP is set to true
value) to reflect contemporary best practices (e.g., account for Travis and
AppVeyor configuration files).
0.60 May 07, 2018
No functional changes. Correct syntax in two test files for better results on
Windows.
0.59 May 06, 2018
Address RTC 125281 (Replace Getopt::Std::getopts() with
Getopt::Long::GetOptions()). Users can now provide long options when invoking
modulemaker on the command-line.
0.58 May 05, 2018
Address RTC 15563 (Discrepancy between documentation and results re author
information), 125266 ('modulemaker -h' fails to display help message; launches
interactive mode) and 125267 (modulemaker '-b' switch's documentation is
misleading).
0.57 May 02, 2018
Perl-5.6.1 was previously required; removed all code intended to handle
earlier versions of perl. Otherwise, no change in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker or
'modulemaker' functionality (or, at least, no intended changes).
Removed dependency on File::Save::Home in modules and test suite. Replaced it
with File::HomeDir. Borrowed technique for mocking one's home directory
during testing from CPAN-Reporter's test suite (thanks to David Golden, Breno
G. de Oliveira and Perl Toolchain Gang). This should substantially address
RTC 111637 (Not safe against parallel runs?). This also facilitated removal
from ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Auxiliary of many subroutines no longer used in
test suite. Extensive consolidation of files within the test suite to improve
maintainability and test suite running time.
Provided configuration files for Travis and AppVeyor.
0.56 January 30, 2017
Removed all test files using 'scripts/modulemaker' as first step in
diagnosing problem reported in
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=111637. No changes in
functionality.
0.55 January 03, 2016
Prodded by Chris Kirke during the CPAN Pull Request Challenge, standardized
$VERSION numbers and release dates across all files. No changes in
functionality or tests.
0.54 March 13, 2015
Correct error in TEST_REQUIRES: should have been IO::Capture rather than
IO::CaptureOutput.
0.53 March 10, 2015
Add metadata to Makefile.PL. Remove IO::Capture from distribution. Instead,
add it to TEST_REQUIRES metadata in Makefile.PL.
0.52 July 4, 2014
Move version control from Subversion to git. Establish development
repository at https://github.com/jkeenan/extutils-modulemaker. Adapt
code to prevent warnings to be added in Perl 5.22.
0.51 February 8, 2008
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive:: Change prompt for Abstract; make it
44-characters long.
0.50 February 8, 2008
'modulemaker' script was failing to initialize certain variables. Diagnosed
as problems in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts. Perl 5.10-related upgrade to
Getopts::Std required declaration of $Getopts::Std::STANDARD_HELP_VERSION with
assignment of true value. Eliminated croak(Usage()).
0.49 March 27, 2007
Responded to bug report http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25830 that
when either INCLUDE_POD_COVERAGE_TEST or INCLUDE_POD_TEST is used on Windows,
using File::Spec::catfile to generate filenames for MANIFEST results in
Windows-style path separators (\) appearing in MANIFEST. Though most of the
time you want to use catfile to generate system-specific paths, in this case
you do not because ExtUtils::Manifest uses only Unix-style path separators
(/). Fixed.
Responded to bug report
0.48 March 26, 2007
Responded to bug report http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25830 of
warnings being thrown during 'make test' in a situation where requestor
Paul_AV had added a local license to EU::MM::Licenses::Local. It turned out
that at line 80 of EU::MM::Interactive I had failed to s/Standard/Local/g.
Fixed.
0.47 May 17, 2006
Added two more options: INCLUDE_ID_LINE and INCLUDE_WARNINGS. Both are off
by default. Setting either to a true value includes a Subversion-style 'Id'
keyword at the top of each Perl module created by ModuleMaker or inserts 'use
warnings;' in the same location.
0.46 April 29, 2006
Use of Devel::Cover for coverage analysis indicated that most subroutines in
lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Utility.pm were no longer covered. It turned out
that, with one exception, they had all been superseded by calls to
File::Save::Home functions. Hence, they could safely be deleted from the file
and the distribution. The one exception, _get_dir_and_file(), was moved into
lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker.pm.
0.45 April 5, 2006
In response to bug report from Gabriel Fortuna, corrected bug in t/01_ini.t.
0.44 December 24, 2005
Corrected one typo in ExtUtils/ModuleMaker.pm: '\' before @ in e-mail
address in BUGS section.
Corrected typo in POD erroneously crediting David Golden with
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP. It should have been ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::TT.
Deleted File::Temp from PM_PREREQ key in Makefile.PL. It's only used in the
test suite, and when it appears there it's within SKIP blocks in case user is
using Perl older than 5.6y.
Per bug report from David Golden, changed remaining references to
generate_pm_file() in StandardText.pm and Utility.pm to refer to
complete_build().
Rewrote Initializers::validate_values() and set_author_composite() in response
to bug reports from David Golden and Terrence Brannon. Added
t/miscargs/919.t, 920.t and 921.t to test these revisions. There remained one
minor problem with the modulemaker command-line mode, however. If in
command-line mode you try to specify an empty string as the argument to -p
(CPANID), -o (ORGANIZATION) or -w (WEBSITE) (and perhaps others not yet
discovered), those values do *not* appear on the interactive mode's AUTHOR
menu. Instead, you get the default values -- either
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Defaults or ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Personal Defaults,
if the latter is installed. OTOH, if you store a personal defaults file with
an empty string as the value for, say, ORGANIZATION, your lib/*.pm file will
be created correctly (with no extra linespace for the missing attribute).
Furthermore, if on the command-line you specify an empty string for any of
those three attributes and you suppress interactive mode with -I option, the
lib/*.pm file will use the default value, which is not what you wanted.
By tossing in 'defined' at three points in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts, I
solved the problem of supplying an empty string to CPANID, ORGANIZATION and
WEBSITE in the modulemaker command-line utility.
Modified 4 subs in lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Auxiliary.pm to use subs from new
CPAN module File::Save::Home rather than subs from
lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Utility.pm. Added File::Save::Home to the PREREQ_PM
key in Makefile.PL.
0.43 September 29, 2005
- In response to report from CPAN tester imacat, corrected the number of
unskipped tests in the SKIP block call in all test files. I had failed
to account for the tests found within subroutines such as
Auxiliary::_save_pretesting_status() (3) and _restore_pretesting_status (5) in
computing the number of unskipped tests. This became evident when I tested
without Module::Build on the system.
0.42 September 28, 2005
- Converted all test files (except t/01_ini.t) to have an END block which
does the 'reprocessing' of the .modulemaker directory and personal defaults
files as needed, notwithstanding any die or croak. In cases where t/*.t files
encompassed several test blocks, this entailed extracting each block from such
a file and creating a separate test file for it. Thus, this meant the
creation of several new directories beneath t/, including failsafe/, mmkr/,
miscargs/, license/, makedefaults/.
0.41 September 19, 2005
- Corrected error in lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Utility.pm
_get_home_directory(): double backslashes messed up tests on Windows.
0.40 September 18, 2005
- Extensive refactoring; additional documentation; new default values
added, particularly with regard to naming of tests.
0.39 September 5, 2005
- v0.38 was reported by two beta-testers to fail in tests depending on
whether the user had or had not previously created a home/.modulemaker
directory on user's system. Set v0.38 for deletion from CPAN.
0.38 September 4, 2005
- v0.37 failed to include t/testlib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Alt_no_Todo.pm
in MANIFEST, which meant it wasn't bundled in tarball that went up to CPAN.
Corrected MANIFEST; set v0.37 for deletion from CPAN.
0.37 September 3, 2005
- Added method make_selections_defaults() to the public interface. User
can now override the default values for attributes in the object created
by ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::new(). The values which a user enters in a
particular invocation of new() can be saved in a file called
ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Personal/Defaults.pm which overrides
ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Defaults.pm. This file is saved in a .modulemaker/
directory which is in turn located beneath the user's home directory or an
equivalent thereto. make_selections_defaults() can be activated from the
modulemaker command line via the '-s' option or from modulemaker interactive
mode's Main Menu, choice 'H'.
- Added capability for user to override particular methods called within
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::complete_build. This is done by setting the
ALT_BUILD attribute passed to new() or by passing the name of a Perl package
to the '-d' option to the modulemaker utility in command-line mode.
- To prepare for the two extensions to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker's
capabilities described above, most of the quasi-public methods
previously found in ExtUtils/ModuleMaker.pm were moved to
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Initializers.pm (in the case of methods called within
new() for the purpose of initializing attributes with default values) or to
ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/StandardText.pm (in the case of methods called within
complete_build() for the purpose of creating directories, files and writing
content to files. These two packages are require-d into the
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker object at run-time.
- Addition of the new capabilities described above required the creation
of many new tests. Some test files were renumbered so that there are no
longer gaps in their order.
0.36 July 18, 2005
- Corrected error pointed out by CPAN tester Scott R. Godin:
IO::Capture and subclasses were omitted from MANIFEST,
causing failure in t/11_miscargs.t.
- Added additional command-line option '-q' to suppress sub new()
in .pm file created by modulemaker. Added tests to t/09_mmkr.t
to test suppression of POD and suppression of sub new() in
.pm file created by modulemaker. Along the way, wrote
additional testing subroutines and added them to
t/testlib/_Auxiliary.pm:
exported: check_pm_file make_compact
not exported: pod_present constructor_present
- Typographic cleanup of what modulemaker prints to STDOUT for
Directives menu (mistake caused by my wrap settings in vi).
- Commented out SecondStyles.pm so it will no longer be bundled
via make dist and no longer be uploaded to CPAN.
0.35 July 17, 2005
- Removed support for Perl 4 style module names (e.g., D'oh).
- Added many tests, including tests for the modulemaker utility
in non-interactive mode.
- Extensive refactoring, including extraction of most variable
and subroutine declarations from modulemaker utility and
placed them in lib/ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Interactive.pm.
Done to simplify future maintenance and make coverage results
more transparent.
- Added partial_dump() method to ModuleMaker.pm. This is not
yet viewed as publicly available but is used to diagnose the
content of the EUMM object during development.
- Improvements in documentation; more to come.
0.34 - Intermediate version not released to CPAN.
0.33 July 8, 2005
