perl (5.003.07-10) unstable frozen; urgency=HIGH

suid-root shell.
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Mon, 21 Apr 1997 20:50:21 -0700
perl (5.003.07-9) unstable frozen; urgency=medium
* 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).
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Wed, 16 Apr 1997 01:02:07 -0700
perl (5.003.07-8) unstable; urgency=low
* 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*
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Sat, 8 Mar 1997 14:06:21 -0800
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.
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Fri, 17 Jan 1997 19:04:13 -0800
perl (5.003.07-5) unstable; urgency=low
* 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>.
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Fri, 10 Jan 1997 02:13:22 -0800
perl (5.003.07-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed problem with suidperl. It will actually run suid now.

directories and removed them.
* Made perlbase's Config.pm use the correct install paths

properly

-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Thu, 12 Dec 1996 23:40:09 -0800
perl (5.003.07-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed Perl to provide io as well as conflict with it since it's been
subsumed into the main perl distribution.

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.
-- Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com> Thu, 21 Nov 1996 04:13:51 -0800
perl (5.003.07-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* 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)

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.

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

permissions and modes should be fine.

* Changed reference in example README to 'eg' directory to
examples directory

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).
Perl 5.001 Debian 5 (5.001m) - 16-10-95 Ray Dassen <jdassen@wi.LeidenUniv.nl>
* ELF version has GDBM support; depends on elf-libgdbm
