* 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.
* Add Conflicts/Replaces/Provides for modules now included in core:
libdigest-md5-perl, libmime-base64-perl, libnet-perl,
libtime-hires-perl, libstorable-perl,

* Modify perldoc to format pages simarly to man-db when stdout is a
terminal (closes: #135318).
* perldoc place-holder now outputs to stderr (closes: #140448).
* Add a note in ExtUtils::Embed(3perl) to the effect that the on
Debian systems the libperl-dev package is required (closes: #155319).
* Allow accept to return addresses > sockaddr_in (closes: #156284).

perl-5.6 (5.6.0-6.1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

* Make the patched target append each patch as it goes to the 'patched'

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

* This needs to be put into frozen so that Alpha has the correct

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.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-4) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Oops. rename needs to be versioned along with all the other
commands.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

perl-5.005 (5.005.03-0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Sat, 5 Jun 1999 00:08:42 -0700
perl (5.005.02-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

perl (5.004.04-6) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* 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)
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Tue, 2 Jun 1998 04:42:47 -0700
perl (5.004.04-5) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

perl (5.004.04-4) unstable; urgency=low
* 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)

perl (5.004.04-3) unstable; urgency=medium (High for those upgrading from bo)
* 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.

* Turn off Perl 5.003 compatibility since this is the libc6
version. (should've been done last version)

important for Perl.
* First attempt to get perl-base -really- working. (As opposed to what
I did in 5.003.07).

its author.
* Remove the -I/usr/include/db since that was only for libc5.

perl (5.004-2) unstable; urgency=low
* 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 (5.003.07-7) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Mon, 3 Mar 1997 01:35:20 -0800
perl (5.003.07-6) unstable; urgency=low
* 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.

* 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.

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)

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
causes a problem in upgrading.
* Changed mail address in postinst to debian-bugs@pixar.com. I've
got to do something about perlconfig
Perl 5.002 Debian 8 Wed Apr 17 02:48:46 1996 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Changed the tcsh dependency to c-shell.
* Added the dosuid define to Configure so that perl would once
again create a suidperl. It was dropped from the upstream

making a.out packages anymore
* Changed pod/Makefile from PERL = perl to PERL = ../miniperl so
that a build will work if you don't have perl installed already
* Changed installperl to not try to guess about links if you
installing to a different directory than you will be running
from (debian-tmp/usr/bin)
Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Fri Dec 29 23:57:14 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Added a check to see if /usr/local/include is there before
attempting to build .ph files from the .h files there (Bug #1856)
Perl 5.002 Debian 4 Fri Dec 22 01:39:08 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Added the patch 5.002b1g from Tom - a documentation only patch
Perl 5.002 Debian 3 Tue Dec 19 01:47:19 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Perl now uses the new sonames for libgdbm and libdb with
dependencies on the new names (libdb1 and libgdbm1)
Perl 5.002 Debian 3 Mon Dec 18 03:23:04 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>
* Summary of additions:
Added patches a-f from Andy
Applied the patch to implement Safe perl that will be coming out
soon.
Applied some documentation patches - perldata/dsc/mod/ref by
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
* Removed find lines in postinst/perlconfig since the include file
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>
* Removed manual generation of manpages in debian.rules file. Now
just call ./installman with the appropriate arguments.
* Changed extensions for man1 pages to 1p and man3 pages to 3pm
* Changed Configure so that it actually listens when you tell it
what extensions to use for for man1 and man3.
* Changed references to /usr/local and perl5.000 in the man pages
* 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.
* Generated absolute path in config.over since the install runs
from many different subdirectoris
Perl 5.002 Debian 1 Wed Nov 22 20:42:34 1995 Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>

* Changed the prerm/postinst scripts to reflect the new version
specific *.ph directories

necessary without recompiling perl.

orphaned though.

Perl 5.001 Debian 6 (5.001n) - 04-11-95 Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* Updated to 5.001n: big patch, small problems remain.
* 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).

* ELF version has GDBM support; depends on elf-libgdbm

* put magic in the postinst to fix it. This opens the can
* of worms whereby I fix all of h2ph's messups. Ugh.
Perl 5.001 Debian 2 - 5/8/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
* Added dialog.pl interface to dialog for Jim Robinson
Perl 5.001 Debian 1 - 3/1/95 Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>
