News file for Stow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Changes in version 2.2.1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Small improvements to documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** The README has been revamped.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Some index points have been added to the manual.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Some typos were fixed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** @VERSION@ substitution was fixed in the stow(8) man page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Fix Perl warnings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stow no longer emits "v-string in use/require non-portable" and
|
||||||
|
"Possible precedence issue with control flow operator" warnings
|
||||||
|
with newer Perl versions. See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36478
|
||||||
|
and http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-stow/2014-06/msg00000.html
|
||||||
|
for full details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Fix "Undefined subroutine &main::error" error
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75349 for details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Failed system calls now include error description
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This should make errors easier to understand.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Default ignore list now ignores top-level README.*, LICENSE.*, and COPYING
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These files are by definition specific to a given package, so if
|
||||||
|
they exist in the top-level directory, they should not be stowed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Correctly handle the stow/target directories as non-canonical paths
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fix the case discovered by Hiroyuki Iwatsuki where stowing fails if
|
||||||
|
the stow / target directories are non-canonical paths. For
|
||||||
|
example, on FreeBSD /home is a symlink pointing to 'usr/home', so
|
||||||
|
running with the stow directory as /home/user/local/stow and the
|
||||||
|
target directory as /home/user/local previously resulted in the
|
||||||
|
stow directory path being calculated as
|
||||||
|
../../../usr/home/user/local/stow relative to the target.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.stow.bugs/8820 for details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Fix stowing of relative links when --no-folding is used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With a tree like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.
|
||||||
|
|-- stow
|
||||||
|
| `-- pkg
|
||||||
|
| `-- lib
|
||||||
|
| |-- itk-current -> itk4.0.0
|
||||||
|
| `-- itk4.0.0
|
||||||
|
| `-- libitk4.0.0.so
|
||||||
|
`-- target
|
||||||
|
`-- lib
|
||||||
|
|-- itk4.0.0 -> ../../stow/pkg/lib/itk4.0.0
|
||||||
|
`-- libfoo-1.2.3.so
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
stowing pkg with the --no-folding option resulted in itk-current
|
||||||
|
being "unpacked":
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.
|
||||||
|
`-- target
|
||||||
|
`-- lib
|
||||||
|
|-- itk-current
|
||||||
|
| `-- libitk4.0.0.so -> ../../../stow/pkg/lib/itk-current/libitk4.0.0.so
|
||||||
|
|-- itk4.0.0
|
||||||
|
| `-- libitk4.0.0.so -> ../../../stow/pkg/lib/itk4.0.0/libitk4.0.0.so
|
||||||
|
`-- libfoo-1.2.3.so
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This commit fixes it so that it gets stowed as a symlink:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.
|
||||||
|
`-- target
|
||||||
|
`-- lib
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|-- itk-current -> ../../stow/pkg/lib/itk-current
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
