* Move module documentation from dirs under /usr/share/perl to
/usr/share/doc/perl/_module_.
* New upstream release.
* NOTE: this release breaks binary compatability with previous
versions of perl. Users will need to upgrade to newer versions of
binary module packages (if/when available) and re-build any
locally installed modules.
* NOTE: DB_File now uses libdb4.0 (previously libdb2). Any DB_File
databases created with earlier perl packages will need to be
upgraded before being used with the current module with the
db4.0_upgrade program (in the libdb4.0-util package, with HTML docs
in db4.0-doc).
* NOTE: suidperl is now deprecated upstream and support is expected
to be discontinued for 5.10. Package description amended.

* Prepend /etc/perl to @INC to provide a standard location for
configuration modules:
/etc/perl/Net/Config.pm (note: previously /etc/Net in libnet-perl)
/etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm (closes: #138167, #103055).
* Add an option for CPAN.pm to skip version check (closes: #98235).

the perl(1) page.
* Remove perlfilter docs, newer versions of which are included in
the libfilter-perl package (closes: #88485).
* Patch perl5db.pl to fall back to "/usr/bin/pager" rather than

* Add conflicts/replaces/provides for libansicolor-perl (closes:
#83604).
* Allow the default build type (static /usr/bin/perl or shared) to
be overridden by including for x-perl-{shared,static} in
DEB_BUILD_OPIONS.

* Augment the descriptions of libperl5.6 and libperl-dev, including a note
about perlcc in the latter (closes: #88462).

Debian-specific (closes: #95233).
* Apply upstream patch 6591 to fix //m uninitialized warning
(closes: #76900).
* Add Build-Depends on netbase, as some tests require /etc/protocols
(closes: #88365).
* Add /usr/local/lib/site_perl back to @INC (note: not created by
installation) to allow local modules to be installed in a
non-versioned directory and to pick up local modules installed
with the previous packages (closes: #87831).
* Don't strip debugperl binary (closes: #88801).
* Change man3ext to 3perl as man will otherwise select perl's
open(3) over open(2) for example.
* Fix priorities of perl-modules and libperl5.6 to "important" and

* Add replaces/provides/conflicts for libpod-parser-perl to the perl
package. Note the programs are in perl, and the modules in
perl-modules although the latter don't actually conflict as the
directory is different (closes: #86459).
* Choose one libreadline-*-perl package to suggest, as having both
with an | was tickling an obscure bug in apt-get.
* Patch perldoc to warn rather than die on non-existent dirs in @INC
as not all directories may exist in a debian installation, the

(closes: #86683).
* Add a suidperl link for those who wish to use #!/usr/bin/suidperl

* Remove empty B::Stash and warnings::register man pages.
(Closes: #86204).
* Fix Math::Complex manual page (11_fix_math_complex_pod).
* Remove -lsfio library. (Closes: #86207).
* Move AUTHORS to perl-base, as copyright references it. Thanks to
Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
* Move perldiag.pod to the perl-modules package so that the
diagnostics module works without perl-doc being installed.
(Closes: #86154).
* Add /usr/lib/perl5/5.6 to @INC to handle arch-indep module packages
which didn't set privlib to /usr/lib/perl5. (Closes: #86122).
* Add -mieee for alpha build. (Closes: #86059).
* Fix nasty h2ph loop which was breaking the sparc build.
* Site installs now update perllocal.pod in sitearch rather than
archlib.
* Split dummy versioned perl transition packages into a seperate
source package.
* Add missing version to perl-5.005-base conflicts.
* Modify ExtUtils::MM_Unix and Install to create site directories with
group write permission (policy 10.1.2).
* The 5.005 packages are now gone. Provide perl-5.005*
pseudo-packages for transition.
* Modify MM_Unix yet again to install programs and manual pages
under /usr/local for site installs.
* Modify MM_Unix to replace $Config{prefix} with '$(PREFIX)'
unconditionally in the Makefile INSTALL* variables.
* Make perl-base essential.
* Add conflicts to libcgi-fast-perl for libcgi-pm-perl (which
includes a different version of that module).
* Apply _PATH_LOG patch from previous packages to fix Sys::Syslog,
which croaks if you pass an extra argument to syslog.
* Fixed POSIX.xs to work on ia64 (forwarded upstream).
* Applied patch 7565 which fixes Errno.pm (was not being created
correctly with gcc-2.96).
* Move perlapi-<ver> provides to perl-base package to allow binary
modules such as libterm-stool-perl to depend only on perl-base.
* Re-order @INC to allow site and vendor installed modules to shadow
the versions in core.
* Split CGI::Fast module into a separate package due to dependence
on libfcgi-perl.
* Patch h2ph to handle glibc's bizzare enum+#define constants.
* Clean up some glitches in the generated headers.
* New maintainer.
* New packaging.
* TODO: revise and include perl-policy and build a seperate
ithread-enabled binary if required.
* NMU
* Moving the libperl.so symlink to libperl5.6 requires conflicts and
replaces. (Closes: #80794).
* NMU
* Ensure that a valid /usr/bin/perl exists before each instance of
"update-alternatives --remove" in perl-5.6-base.postinst, as any
of these may possibly blow away the symlink. (Closes: #76432).
* If an alternative existed for perl.1p.gz before installation, the
file of that name in this package was removed in the postinst
update-alternatives. The same goes for cperl-mode.el. Install
versioned files and manually link like the rest of the
alternatives mess. (Closes: #78742, #79728).
Note that both of these changes to alternative handling are merely
stop-gap measures. The situation still remains that installing
perl-5.004 or 5.005 after 5.6 has been installed will play merry
havoc with the symlinks again and stands a good chance of nuking
/usr/bin/perl if subsequently removed.
* make.versions: rename rather than copying files so that we don't
ship two copies of each binary in the .deb (linked to canonical
name in postinst).
* Move warnings::register to -base. (Closes: #79075, #79234).
* Move autosplit.ix for File::Glob to -base. (Closes: #77384)
* Move load_imports.al for POSIX to -base.
* Move IO.pm to -base.
* Move dangling libperl.so symlink to libperl5.6.
* Don't do the /usr/bin/perl.dist -> /usr/bin/perl bit anymore. dpkg
probably doesn't need it...
* Remove all alternatives related to the Perl packages.
(closes: #76432, #76524, #77247, #77303, #77619)
* Fixed suidperl manpage paths. Thanks to Jim Bray <jb@as220.org>.
* Fixed suidperl postinst (typo). Thanks to Joey Hess
<joeyh@debian.org>.
* Make all uses of local perl also make use of local perl modules
(oops). Thanks to Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>.
* Fixup and apply patch to an off by one error in decode \x{}. Thanks
to Kai Henningsen <kaih@khms.westfalen.de>. (09_utf8_hex_char_fix)
* Fix 5.005 arch compatibility path now uses the correct architecture
rather than just i386. (closes: #78174)
* Verified that patch in #78048 fixes @_ segfault in ops.
(10_op_at_underscore_segfault) (closes #78048)
* put parentheses on the end of the call to _PATH_LOG in Sys::Syslog so
that it works. (closes: #76966)
Remove references to syslog.ph - 07_syslog_path_log.
* The debug target now uses ./Configure -deS to make it not look for a
tty. (closes: #77009)
* Fix make.base so it works for the newer version number. (closes: #47204)
* Add base.pm to perl-5.\d+-base for debconf (closes: #77145)
* Add XSLoader.pm to perl-5.\d+-base. Many module authors thought Dynaloader
took to much memory; XSLoader is a much smaller version.
(closes: #77280, #77292)
* Add File::Glob to perl-5.\d+-base so those scripts using globbing work under
5.6. (closes: #77384)
* Add libdb2-dev to the Build-Depends list. (closes: #77758)
* Downgrade perl-5.\d+-suid to optional. (closes: #77841)
* Only mention the problem with updating to the new Berkeley DB format
if upgrading. (closes: #76425)
* 5.6.0-3 fixed the include paths already. (closes #76421)
* Change the documentation of AutoLoader to not suggest testing against
the text of an error message.
Change those places in Perl where an AUTOLOAD method does so.
08_autoload_not_anglocentric (closes: #75256)
* Quick release since 5.6.0-1 had broken paths aand 5.6.0-2 was rejected
from Incoming (I had the source on both of them and it was only there
when -1 was installed.) closes: #76425)
* Make tests not run on big endian mips (from "Florian Lohoff"
<flo@rfc822.org>).
* Net::Ping makes invalid assumptions about UDP always returning a
hostname if there is any data on the socket - 06_netping_udp_fix.
(closes: #55427).
* Mention that perl-[.\d]+-doc overwrites parts of libansicolor-perl and
libpod-parser-perl. (closes: #76443)
* Note that I'll release the no-alternatives version of all three Perl
packages 2 days after this version is accepted so as to give it time
to hit the mirrors.
* Fix t/op/filetest.t so that it works under fakeroot -
debian/patches/03_fix_fakeroot_op_filetest
* Make the patched target append each patch as it goes to the 'patched'
file. Make the target .precious to keep make from removing it on
error. That would rather defeat the point.
* rm config.sh.static in clean target
* Shorten the make targets for building the static Perl:
- Now, build target builds both the static Perl and the libperl with
extensions and such.
- Only Perl and suid Perl get built. We don't need to build the
extensions when we're about to blow them away.
- We also wait performing the tests until we have the shared Perl.
* Actually get the paths correct for Perl, using a colon separated
privlib and archlib.
This uncovered 2 documentation and 1 Configure bug in Perl.
* Make NDBM_File use libgdbm's ndbm emulation instead of libdb's since
DB_File can't handle null keys currently. -
debian/patches/04_NDBM_uses_libgdbm
* Perl 5.6 has to conflict with the old data-dumper package. Since the
package isn't available anymore in potato or woody, this shouldn't be
a problem.
* incpush will create duplicate path entries in @INC if either
vendorlibexp or sitelibexp don't end in the version number of Perl.
Patch Configure to leave _stem fields empty if they'd be the same as
the field they are created from - 05_no_define_stem
* With the massive problems on my system, I've been unable to fix the
alternatives so I'm releasing this now so that people have a perl 5.6
to use.
* Patched up ExtUtils::MM_Unix to not use LD_RUN_PATH if the envar
NO_LD_RUN_PATH is true.
* Patched eg/rename to use the modern rewritten version from Robin
Barker (Robin.Barker@npl.co.uk).
* Add the threading version of Perl into the build system. XS
components need it even if users can't.
* Move the documentation to binary-indep
* Copy Brendan's patched target wholesale for the application of
patches.
* Adapt Brendan's libperl changes.
Be sure and link suidperl static.
* New upstream version. New numbering system.
* Note that there is currently no threading available with this
version. The 5.6 threading model (interpreter threads) isn't
currently usable from user space. 5.005 threads can be built but only
will be if there is a demand for it since perl-5.005 is available.
* This needs to be put into frozen so that Alpha has the correct
syscall.ph constants (important bug #55794) and the copyright on the
perl-policy is correct (important bug #60233)
* Changed copyright on perl-policy.sgml from "the Debian Project" to
"Software in the Public Interest". This is so the document is
actually copyrighted by a legal entity. This closes: bug#60233.
* Completely regenerated the *.ph files. There appears to be a clean
separation these days of system specific stuff into the asm
directories. The only question would be the stuff in the bits/
directory since that seems to be autogenerated by the kernel.
The only one that I know needs it is bits/syscall.ph. I've written a
script to make sure it takes in all the syscalls as necessary.
Note that this is a somewhat long job since h2ph only does a 90% job,
so the generated .ph files take a bit of hand-editing. This closes:
bug#55794.
* Install the Perl Social Contract (Porting/Contract) into the doc
directory of the perl-5\d+-doc package. This closes #51963.
* Modified lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm so that if the environment variable
NO_LD_RUN_PATH is set true, then MakeMaker won't use LD_RUN_PATH in
the dynamic_lib method and therefore the .so won't have an rpath built
into them. This closes: bug#47116.
* Change Recommends perl-doc to Suggests and add
$(DOCDIR)/Where_is_the_Documentation.gz closes: Bug#59145
* Make suidperl be suid even if suidmanager isn't installed. closes:
Bug#55521.
* NMU
* adds frozen to distribution list...
* Compile with -mieee to compile options for alpha; closes: #55269
* NMU
* Missed GDBM modules last time... adding them back (closes: #55430)
* NMU
* Adds IO::File; closes: #54922
* Accept all of Raphael Hertzog's changes in the NMU. Thanks a lot
Raphael for helping me through this hard time. Your patches were
without flaw.
* I'll be fixing this up much more in the coming week. This release is
to fix the critical bug below.
* Change perl-5.005-doc to Suggests and make sure
/usr/share/doc/perl-5.005/Where_is_the_Documentation is installed.
Closes: #43078.
* Add overload.pm to perl-base as a temporary patch until debconf
doesn't use Data::Dumper anymore. Closes: #53428
* Non maintainer upload.
* Non-bugs that can be closed. Closes: #51656, #49812, #45908, #47122
* Removes perl-=version= if no more needed. Closes: #46187, #41436, #46188
Also calls update-alternatives remove only when removing
the package. Closes: #46581
* Correct permissions of perl-=version= in postinst after
update-alternatives to prevent failures like we had because
of a 0600 perl binary. Closes: #45898, #45875, #45877, #45898, #46369
* Removed LD_RUN_PATH="". Closes: #48544
* Added POSIX/autosplit.ix to perl-5.005-base. Closes: #50242
* Added Data::Dumper to perl-5.005-base. Closes: #50552
* Added IPC::Open2, IPC::Open3, Text::Wrap and Text::Tabs to
perl-5.005-base. Closes: #50937
* Added the perl5.005 binary too. Closes: #51289
* I moved many files from one packages to another. I had to add
a Replaces field in order to not cause problems.
* Corrected postinst from perl-5.005-doc.
Closes: #45863, #45870, #45887, #47870
* Added Errno.pm to perl-5.005-base. Closes: #47204
* Use relative symlinks for compatibility /usr/doc/* link. Closes: #48286
* Applied the patch for mipsel support. Closes: #48915
* perl-5.005-doc replaces: libcgi-perl until a better solution can be found
for the overlapping manpages.
Closes: #47245, #47844, #47996, #52632, #49371
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Release to Incoming on master.
* Oops. rename needs to be versioned along with all the other
commands.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Removed io reference.
* Corrected perl-5.005-thread postinst/versionning/building.
* Added replaces data-dumper to perl-5.005-doc so that
the Data::Dumper man page may be overwritten without
forcing.
* Converted to debhelper.
* Added POSIX stuff into perl-5.005-base.
* Corrected many lintian warnings/errors
* WARNING: NDBM_File and DB_File built with libdb2 - this is
incompatible with old db files.
* New upstream release.
* Major changes to the debian files as we go to versioned Perls.
* 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)
* Conflict, replace, and provide data-dumper since it's now provided by
Perl. (Fixes Bug #27543)
* Specifically turn off sfio for the standard release of Perl.
* 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)
* Fix typos in postrm scripts. Thanks to Mark Eichin <eichin@arepa.com>
for this. (Fixes Bug #23107)
* 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.
* Use mkstemp to avoid security/dos race conditions in /tmp.
* Add || true to the fixup lines in the perl.postinst - the previous
method didn't expose the error return of rmdir -p, the if;then;fi
method does. (Fixes Bugs #15854, #16412, #17328, #17425)
* Adapted patch from Stephen Zander <srz@mckesson.com> so that Perl
knows to use getspnam if shadowing is enabled. (Needed extra
Configure bits added.) (Fixes Bug #15993)
* Added Conflicts: perl (<<5.004.04-2) to perl-base so you can't install
it with an older version of the perl package. (Fixes Bug #16810)
* Make sure that none of the gzipped examples are executable in
/usr/doc/perl/examples. (Fixes Bug #11978)
* Remove /usr/lib/perl5/IO/Handle.pm. It was left over from a disk
install where parts of Perl weren't handled by dpkg. Its presence is
causing version mis-matches. (Fixes Bug #15572)
* 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.
* Wonderful idea from Scott Ellis <storm@stormcrow.ml.org>, set archlib
to be the major version so that maintenance versions don't break all
the arch-dependent perl-debian packages.
* Strip a2p, fixing Bug #14891.
* Files copied by make.base should keep hard-links.
* New upstream (maintenance) version
* Turn off Perl 5.003 compatibility since this is the libc6
version. (should've been done last version)
* All tests finally pass now that locale test #102 was considered not
important for Perl.
* First attempt to get perl-base -really- working. (As opposed to what
I did in 5.003.07).
* New upstream (maintenance) version
* Recompiled for libc6.
* Remove ftp.pl from the distribution since it depends on chat2.pl which
is obsolete and has been removed from the perl dist at the request of
its author.
* Remove the -I/usr/include/db since that was only for libc5.
* I had a semi-colon in the wrong place such that the gzip of the
man-pages (which are now compressed) killed off the removal of the
build artifacts in Config.pm. Enough still ran so as to not be overly
noticeable. Registering bug against gzip since it should be possible
to not have an error if you try to compress already compressed files.
* Perl 5.004 is released. Another debian version will follow that fixes
packaging problems.
* Applied patch from HJ Lu for libc6.
* Edit copyright file for correct version.
* Take the /bin/perl link out of the build tar's postinst.
* SUID perl patch to fix buffer overrun that allows any user to get a
suid-root shell.
* Applied patch from HJ Lu for libc6
* Removed perl-base from dist for release into bo
* This will be the last release that has /bin/perl as a link (or at all).
* How'd that get in there?
Somehow a static version of postinst crept into the dist such that it
depended on 5.00320 and i386. embarrased
* Compile the perl library with -D_REENTRANT for LinuxThreads. It's
still dangerous and there are problems with MULTIPLICITY (which this
isn't compiled with) as well.
* Sent the output of the various rmdir -p's in postinst to /dev/null so
that people don't see old gunk.
* Included target to add a comment to the changelog so that an automatic
package from untarring this in a new perl subversion works with the
correct version.
* Changed perl, perl-suid, and perl-debug to section interpreters.
Changed perl-base to section base.
* Changed rules to determine the perl version dynamically so that it
doesn't have to be editted for each new version.
* Rebuld and upload so that perl will just pre-depend on libc5.4 rather
than libc5.4.17-1. This and -5 were destined for stable and 5.4.17-1
isn't available for that.
* Moved config.over.MK to the debian directory so that all the files
that I add are there.
* Just ignore the mkdir on /usr/local as the easiest solution to the
NFS-ro /usr/local problem. Suggestion by Guy Maor <maor@ece.utexas.edu>.
* Fixed problem with suidperl. It will actually run suid now.
* Add check to postinst to check for old perlconfig created include
directories and removed them.
* Made perlbase's Config.pm use the correct install paths
* Made perl provide/replace/conflict with perlbase to replace it
properly
* No longer put libperl.a in suidperl since we not doing shared perl.
* Changed Perl to provide io as well as conflict with it since it's been
subsumed into the main perl distribution.
* Applied patch from Nick to make use FileHandle; work transparently
although is should be use IO::Handle (or other appropriate IO::)
* Applied patch from Randy so that use sigtrap doesn't complain anymore.
* Applied patch from Paul that changes use strict tie; into a warning.
* Changed perl back to a static libperl
* Developed and packaged a perl-base to go on the base-floppies.
* added code to postinst/prerm that only creates the empty
/usr/local/lib/site_perl directory if /usr/local/lib is writable by
root (fixes Bug #5003)
* Updated to dpkg standards version 2.1.1.0 (fixes Bugs #3874, 4709)
* Pre-generated all the *.ph files that people will probably need. The
correct asm directory will have a symbolic link set during postinst.
(fixes Bugs #4493, 4739, 1856, 3770, 3277, 3803, 3814, 1099, 3784,
1201, 1170, 3908, 2405, 4717, 2184, 1411, 2440)
I wonder if this is a record for the most number of bugs fixed by a
change.
* Changed debian.rules to generate a shared libperl for the main
executable with a static suidperl and debugperl. This should help
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,
4870)
* Added symbolic link /usr/doc/perl/examples to point to the examples
directory. (fixes Bug #3997) (this is obsoleted by new standards)
Perl 5.003 Debian 2 Mon Jul 1 01:27:23 1996 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Changed Depends: libc5, libdb1, libgdbm1 to Pre-Depends
* Added check for pre-depends support into preinst
* Added a link to ../usr/bin/perl from /bin/perl
* Had Configure undef CSH so that we don't need to depend on csh
anymore.
Perl 5.003 Debian 1 Tue Jun 25 02:25:00 1996 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Added patches from Charles Bailey to bring Perl up to 5.003
* Included patch set from Andy Dougherty to fix gconvert problem.
Perl 5.002 Debian 10 Thu Jun 6 01:05:36 1996 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* The permissions of many of the files were set right. Fix in
debian.rules so this can't happen again.
Perl 5.002 Debian 9 Tue Jun 4 02:00:00 1996 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Changed recommends of perl from source | includes to libc5-dev
in accord with where the include files actually come from
* Added the following Priority fields: Perl - Important (from
Packages), perl-suid - Standard, perl-debug - Optional

remove the tcsh once c-shell is provided by it.
* Changed the suidperl from being a question in the postinst to
being it's own package.
* Added perld (debugging perl) as a package. Both of these are
dependent on the specific version of perl. We'll see if this

got to do something about perlconfig

TomC, perlembed by JonO, tiehash by RandyR, and perlxs by DeanR
* Had to cruft up the Configure script so that it does an nm on
static libs and an nm -D on shared libs. I thought just nm
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

permissions and modes should be fine.
* moved /usr/doc/perl/example_code to /usr/doc/examples/perl
* Changed reference in example README to 'eg' directory to
examples directory
* Changed some bad paths in example code directory
* Had install check and not ask about installing in odd places if
debian-tmp is in the install-path
Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Sat Nov 25 01:05:15 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>

* Changed references in scripts from /usr/local to /usr
* Setup config.over file to fix-up config.sh to install into
debian-tmp/usr/* instead of trying to do it in sh. The shared
libs weren't going in the right place.

from many different subdirectoris

* debian.rules now passes definitions to Configure, instead of running
Configure with a modified hints/linux.sh.
* Use a variable in debian.rules to test the binary format.
* With ELF, DB_File support is disabled (rather ad hoc).
* Use softlinks for suidperl and perl<version>.
* Added explicit Depends: elf-libc, which was implicit (via elf-libgdbm).
