* Release 1.19 [2011-10-25 Tue]
** Detect non-perl XS deps when using non-english locale. :BUGFIX:
We scrape pacman's output in order to find package owners of C
libraries that we are linking to. Silly me, I only matched english
output of pacman. We now force the locale to C when we run pacman
behind the scenes.
Reported by Franek at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128890
* Release 1.18 [2011-08-21 Sun]
** Trivial fix for $CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch::PACKAGER.
If the PACKAGER environment variable is set then the package variable
$CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch::PACKAGER will now be set to its value,
overriding the /etc/makepkg.conf value.
** cpan2aur: Update to match the latest AUR upgrades.
Logins are now HTTPS only. I thought I updated this already but I
guess that was WWW::AUR instead. Sessions now have lowercase letters
instead of uppercase letters. This confused the session key
loading mechanism.
** Add sha512sums to PKGBUILD.
SHA-512 digests are calculated for the "sources" tarball if the
Digest::SHA module is installed.
** Make all warnings fatal.
Warnings will now stop the program.
** Fix warning messages for undefined module versions.
Warning messages would be printed when a sub-module of a distribution
is depended on. Sub-modules are modules inside a distribution which
don't match the name of the distribution. These are generally hidden
in order to depend only on distributions and not modules. Example
warning message (word-wrapped):
Use of uninitialized value $depver in numeric eq (==) at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm line 984.
* Release 1.17 [2011-08-03 Wed]
** If at first you don't succeed, try again harder.
Okay the last fix didn't really work. Really fix it this time
and add a test.
* Release 1.16 [2011-08-03 Wed]
** Remove any leading 'v' char in front of versions for perl.
Since we parse these on our own we must be diligent of the strange
perl habit of prefixing versions with "v".
Found when uploading Exporter-Declare to the AUR.
* Release 1.15 [2011-07-06 Wed]
** Depend on perl core modules again
After getting some coffee in me I realized that it's ok to depend
on core perl modules because we only depend on them if the
version we need is greater than the bundled version.
* Release 1.14 [2011-07-06 Wed]
** Core perl modules no longer depend-able
Because the perl package no longer has a provides list for all the
core perl modules we cannot depend on any packages for distributions
that perl comes with.
** Match perl versions with 0's rounded off the end. :BUGFIX:
Like the version string 5.00503 for example. It should convert to
5.5.30. Reported by xbj9000 on the perl-cpanplus-dist-arch AUR page.
** perl-cpanplus-dist-arch moved to [community]
Cool! I hope?
* Release 1.13 [2011-06-26 Sun]
** Use makepkg's --nocheck option to skip tests
Since pacman 3.4 PKGBUILDs can now have a check() function. Inside
this bash function, tests are run to make sure the build package is
functioning properly. Since most CPAN modules have tests, the test
command (make test or ./Build test) are now placed inside check().
Makepkg has a --nocheck option useful for skipping tests which
this module now uses instead of commenting out tests.
** Accept dist dirs with "v" version strings :BUGFIX:
cpan2aur now anticipates extracted dist. dirs which have a v in
their version.
** Use the new version::parse() instead of the obsolete version::qv()
Keeping up with the times.
** Better makepkg error handling in cpan2aur :BUGFIX:
When makepkg failed before we didn't handle it properly.
* Release 1.12 [2011-03-25 Fri]
** Upgrades for pacman/makepkg 3.5
*** SRCPKGDEST environment variable
Makepkg uses the 'SRCPKGDEST' environment variable when building a
source package. To override where the package will end up, simply
set SRCPKGDEST. This also means we don't know where it will
end up until create() is called and you specify whether you want
a 'bin' or 'src' package in create()'s parameters.
set_destdir() still allows you to override where a package will be
stored after being built. This method doesn't discriminate between
source or binary packages.
get_destdir() is now alot stupider and will not try to guess where
a package will end up. Instead it just returns what you have given
to set_destdir() previously.
*** check() PKGBUILD function
makepkg allows you to specify a new step when building a package
from a PKGBUILD. Automated tests (via make test or Build test)
are now run inside the check() bash function in the PKGBUILD.
** PKGBUILD Template Tweaks
PKGBUILDs are now more conservative about exporting environment
variable everywhere. Even though I never heard of any problems
caused by this. Now a subshell wraps any exported env. vars.
We also use the check() and package() functions in PKGBUILDs.
These changes shouldn't change the user experience any but I
thought I'd try them out. Overly anal-retentive users should
appreciate it.
** Dependences on Minor Module Versions :BUGFIX:
If one distribution depends on a module that is not the main module,
the versions of the dependency cannot be cross-referenced. This means
there is no way to find which old version of the distribution contains
the old module file. We cannot convert module deps to distribution
deps in this case.
What I have done is discard the version and simply depend on the
package representing the CPAN distribution we need. This is not ideal
but will work in most cases. The fact that ArchLinux is a rolling
release also helps to support the idea that most users have very
recent versions of perl modules installed.
* Release 1.11 [2011-02-04 Fri]
** New Changelog Format
The changelog now uses org-mode. It is much nicer. I rewrote many
of the latest entries for the last few versions and renamed
ChangeLog to the perl-default Changes.
** Template Changes
*** No more || return 1
Since around pacman 3.4, makepkg no longer requires you to use
gratutious "|| return 1's". I suppose makepkg uses set -e now, so
any errors should make makepkg bail out. Anyways these are now
removed from the PKGBUILD template and generated PKGBUILDs.
*** Emacs local variables
Because I am tired of adding them in manually. You will see them
at the end of the PKGBUILD. I forget what the vim equivalent is.
** Perl Version Conversion :BUGFIX:
When some modules depend on perl they use the decimal notation for
the version string (i.e. 5.006001) whereas ArchLinux uses the
dotted-decimal notation for versions (i.e. 5.6.1). Pacman was
confused by the decimal notation so we now convert any explicit
dependencies on perl into dotted-decimal format.
Reported by: Xenoterracide
* Release 1.10 [2010-12-10 Fri]
** Cowardly Reverting
Regress back to not adding dependencies to packages (distributions)
that are included with the version of perl running us.
* Release 1.09 [2010-12-02 Thu]
** lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm
*** dist_pkgname
Fix bug with our own package dependencies. + signs are now allowed
in package names (for Text-Tabs+Wraps aka perl-text-tabs+wraps).
* Release 1.08 [2010-11-30 Tue]
** lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm
*** _extract_makedepends
Extract ExtUtils:: modules into makedepends.
*** _prepare_cfgdeps
Extract 'configure_requires' modules from META.yml into makedepends.
*** dist_pkgname
Adds Cairo and Gtk2-GConf to the package name overrides.
* Release 1.07 [2010-11-23 Tue]
** lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm
*** _translate_cpan_deps
Return perl-test- packages as 'makedepends' unless we are
ourselves a perl-test- package. This updates templates as well.
(_translate_cpan_deps): We also no longer filter out perl core
module requirements. The perl package now gives us a provides list
of included core modules. (set_pkgrel): Adds new mutator.
*** _prepare_arch
Search for XS files in the CPAN package dir and set the PKGBUILD
arch field to 'i686' 'x86_64' if we find we are building an XS
module. This changes the 'arch' field for templates. Do not
enclose the 'arch' value in quotes! The value of the 'arch'
template variable now comes enclosed in single-quotes.
*** get_pkgbuild
Fix bug where quoted bash special characters were padded with
spaces. Remove exclaimation point (!) quoting for bash's sake,
this wasn't necessary and looks funny.
* Release 1.06 [2010-09-29 Wed]
** Bad libxml name override :BUGFIX:
Remove erronous 'XML::LibXML' to 'libxml-perl' name mapping. There
is a dist named libxml-perl so it doesn't need a mapping to
it. Oops!
*Reported by IsaacG*
** Templates
Change PKGBUILD template to use the absolute path to the system
perl interpreter.
** Yes - stop asking me
Add --noconfirm flag to pacman arguments.
** Update official name overrides
Update name overrides to match changed ArchLinux perl package names
in official repos.
** t/05-custom_template.t :BUGFIX:
Fix bug where the packager was hard-coded in our test output.

* RELEASE (1.03)
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (_find_built_pkg): Fix bug where
source packages were not being found after being built.
(dist_pkgname): Changed naming rules again. ALWAYS prefix a
package name with perl- unless it is "perl".
Added an override for Perl-Tidy and Perl-Critic so they will still
convert to 'perl-tidy' and 'perl-critic'. We may need more
overrides to match Archlinux packages...
Fixes a bug with Perl::Version and version both translating to
perl-version. Reported by Xenoterracide
2010-05-20 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* RELEASE (1.02)
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (set_tt_module): Add new method. This
can also be a class method.
2010-05-18 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* RELEASE (1.01)
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (_process_template): [Bugfix] When
using internal template engine the [%-'s and -%]'s would not be
recognized. When I added the -'s I forgot to change the code.
Reported by IsaacG
2010-05-11 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* RELEASE (1.00): Uploaded to CPAN.
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (dist_pkgname): Changed the mapping of
CPAN dist names to package names:
- Prefix the package name with 'perl-' even if it ends with '-perl'.
- The only time to not prefix the package with 'perl-' is if it
already starts with 'perl-'.
- Special case: the 'perl' dist name maps to the 'perl' package.
2010-05-10 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm: The PKGBUILD template has been
changed. We now more eloquently override environment
variables (i.e. PERL_MM_OPT, PERL_MB_OPT) in order to assure
their values don't affect our package building.
2010-04-28 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm: Add POST_CHOMP (-%]) tags to PKGBUILD
template to remove extra whitespace.
2010-04-17 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* script/cpan2aur (update_if_old): Fix bug where we were comparing
the module version and not the module's package version.
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm: Fix bug where installing packages
from the AUR runs Module::AutoInstall inside the PKGBUILD.
Module::AutoInstall installed packages while running _inside_ the
PKGBUILD. Maybe all AUR packages created by cpan2aur who used
Module::Install were broken! Reported by Xenoterracide
2010-04-13 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (create): Fix bug where I assumed
makepkg creates a .pkg.tar.gz. Nowadays makepkg creates
.pkg.tar.xz files (but it may still create .pkg.tar.gz if the user
tells it to in /etc/makepkg.conf... right?)
2010-04-11 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (get_pkgbuild): Fix bug where
exclaimation marks (!) in pkgdesc are displayed with the leading
quoting backslash (\). Turns out quoting exclaimation marks with
backslashes doesn't work in bash. We use "..."'!'"..." instead!
2010-04-08 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (get_tt_module): Added new method.
2010-03-22 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (_metayml_pkgdesc): Fix bug where the
abstract description inside the META.yml was left to its default
entry by a lazy module author. This caused the pkgdesc to be:
Module abstract (<= 44 characters) goes here
Reported by Xenoterracide
2010-03-03 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (_prepare_pkgdesc): Fix bug where
pkgdesc is blank when the .pm/.pod file is in a non-standard
location. We now search more places for the files.
Reported by Xenoterracide
2010-02-21 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (_shell_expand): Created helper
function for reading PKGDEST from /etc/makepkg.conf entries.
Fixed bug when PKGDEST in makepkg.conf contains environment
variables or tildes that need shell expansion.
Reported by Isaac Good
(_prepare_pkgdesc): Fix bug where META.yml contains double-quoted
text (not-single quotes) in the pkgdesc. These double quotes
would not be removed and show up in the pkgdesc.
2010-02-18 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (get_pkgname): Added method.
(get_pkgver): Added method.
(get_pkgrel): Added method.
(set_pkgrel): Added method.
(get_pkgvars): Added 'pkgrel' as a new template variable.
2010-02-17 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>

overwrite confirmation prompt answered yes no matter what.
Reported by Xenoterracide.
2010-02-14 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* 0.17 (RELEASE)
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (create): Added the 'quiet' and
'verbose' dist options.
(create): Fixed bug where we chdir to create a package and do not
chdir back. Messed up calling programs cwd.
2010-02-03 Justin Davis <juster@cpan.org>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (create): We are now verbose by
default so people don't think we are hanging.
* script/cpan2aur: Heavily updated cpan2aur. We can now create
templates for AUR packages that need customization. Then you only
need to generate a package from the template. We can also upload
to the AUR easily from the command line.
2010-01-26 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (create): Dependencies of modules are
now installed as implicit packages.
(_prepare_pkgdesc): Fixed bug where descriptions were "~".
2010-01-08 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>
* 0.16 (RELEASE)
* script/cpan2aur: Now we can also create a source package
directory for tweaking the PKGBUILD and then running makepkg.
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (_translate_xs_deps): Fixed bug
with detecting XS deps for Module::Build distributions.
It never seemed to work right anyways, and would sometimes
cause a fatal error.

PKGBUILD.
(get_pkgbuild): Same as create_pkgbuild.
2009-12-12 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>
* 0.14 (RELEASE)
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (get_cpandistdir): Fixed bug caused by
distributions having letters in their filenames. The extracted
directory did not have the trailing letter. Now we use the
distribution directory name previously stored by CPANPLUS.
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (dist_pkgver): Fixed bug with letters
in package versions. Letters are removed because makepkg cannot
compare versions with letters properly. Underscores are now only
allowed at the end of the version; for developer releases.
2009-12-02 Justin Davis <jrcd83@gmail.com>
* 0.13 (RELEASE)
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (create): Fixed a bug caused when
PKGDEST environment variable was used. Fixed a bug when yaourt is
trying to run ./Build in a /tmp mounted with the noexec option.
Thanks to "xenoterracide" for pointing this out on the AUR; which
led me to the even worse PKGDEST bug.
* lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm (get_pkgpath): Added new method.
* t/02-build.t: Checks for online connectivity and deletes
the test package after it is created.
* ChangeLog: Switched to the emacs style changelog since...
I use emacs.
Revision history for CPANPLUS-Dist-Arch
0.12 October 29, 2009
Fixed bugs when searching for XS packages.
Fixed a regexp bug when escaping bash characters in pkgdesc.
Changed the automatic perl dependency to not have a version.
0.11 June 9, 2009
I added List::MoreUtils in the last release, thought it was a
core module, and forgot to add it to the Build.PL. So I just
removed use of "uniq" now.
0.10 May 28, 2009
Fixed trivial bug with Maintainer in PKGBUILD having a newline.
0.09 May 27, 2009
Added many package name overrides from the Arch website.
Removed use of Readonly, now we only need core modules.
Now searches for non-perl dependencies as well! (ie for XS modules)
Tweaked PKGBUILD again.
0.08 May 11, 2009
Added a public method interface to the CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch class.
Added example script "cpanpkgbuild.pl" and binary script "cpan2aur".
Changed PKGBUILD template slightly as suggested by smb.
(I accidentally used the Makefile.PL for this version instead
of Build.PL! So META.yml got screwed up. I also forgot to
update this file.)
0.07 April 12, 2009
Fixed the typo bug in last version. Added a build test so I'll catch this faster.
Now searches the main module's .pm and .pod files for the pkgdesc as well,
using Pod::Select.
Now running as root will work, also useful for nested fakeroot environments...
0.06 April 05, 2009
Added the setupdistarch script to easily enable/disable CPANPLUS packaging.
I broke this version with a typo! Luckily no one suspects anything.

Added tests for _translate_name & _translate_version.
0.04 March 22, 2009
Fixed CPAN version numbers which don't conform to Archlinux standards.
Stopped using the version module for prefixing everything with v, why!!
Fixed typos, some inefficient code, etc...
