Changes for version 2.012 - 2003-02-12

  • Add README.redhat6 for special instructions and issues pertaining to rh 6.x.
  • Fixed stdio hiding for meta info extraction to avoid spurious results under certain conditions (eg. Socket6).
  • Add a cache to reduce hits to search.cpan.org if possible (bug #2066)
  • added --no-upgrade-chk to skip version checking
  • chkupgrade() now times out in 5 seconds
  • redesigned chkupgrade() to perform upgrade decision at server end
  • version chks now also pass module name being built
  • fixed bug with %filelist generation wherein modules containing .pm files with the same name as a directory would drop the file e.g. /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Event /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Event.pm
  • redesigned cpan2rpm.spec.PL, cleaning bug #2058
