Changes for version 2.025
- implemented CPAN+ support
- renamed --cpan to --fetch to specify fetch methods
- now supports building directories other than the current
- tarballs created with older versions of tar do not include the embedded subdirectory as a single line. applied patch to fix this problem. Thanks to Nigel Metheringham <Nigel.Metheringham@dev.InTechnology.co.uk> for pointing this out
- packages that include perl scripts may contain any number of paths for the perl executable in the first line (#!). This causes the requirements generator to product reqs for the various paths of perl, which is a problem. this fix patches all perl scripts so they generate a single req for the correct perl path. for an example see the Tk package which lists both /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl - thanks to Adam Shand [ashand@wetafx.co.nz] for pointing this out.
- distributions containing multiple modules each of which has a makefile generated leave the metadata hash populated with the last module processed instead of the first (which is usually the parent package). This behaviour causes a problem whereby a module like Tk ends up renamed as Tk::Text - thanks to Adam Shand [ashand@wetafx.co.nz] for pointing this out
