./devel/p5-IPC-System-Simple, Run commands simply, with detailed diagnostics

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.21nb1, Package name: p5-IPC-System-Simple-1.21nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Calling Perl's in-built system() function is easy, determining if it was
successful is hard. Let's face it, $? isn't the nicest variable in the
world to play with, and even if you do check it, producing a well-formatted
error string takes a lot of work.

IPC::System::Simple takes the hard work out of calling external commands.

The IPC::System::Simple module also provides a simple replacement to Perl's
backticks operator.


Required to run:
[lang/perl5]

Log message:
Bump the PKGREVISION for all packages which depend directly on perl,
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.

The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.

sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

Log message:
Update p5-IPC-System-Simple from version 1.20 to version 1.21.

Upstream changes:
1.21  Tue Mar 23 12:08:47 AUSEST 2010
        * TEST: t/win32.t has more sane handling of skipped and
          unimplimented tests.

        * TEST: Author tests no longer leave the permissions of
          not_an_exe.txt permanently changed.

        * BUGFIX: capture/capturex no longer break STDOUT when
          running an unknown command under Windows.  Many thanks
          to Jan Krynicky for a fix.  (RT #48319)

        * BUILD: Upgraded to Module::Install 0.93.

Log message:
Updating devel/p5-IPC-System-Simple from 1.18 to 1.20

Upstream changes:
1.20  Sat Jan  9 15:08:41 AUSEST 2010
        * TEST: t/win32.t no longer claims to have more tests than
          it really has.  This fixes an install issue under Windows.
          RT #53124.  Thanks to Erez Schatz and Curtis Jewell for
          spotting this.

1.19  Fri Dec  4 14:14:25 AUSEST 2009
        * TEST: Added tests to ensure correct behaviour when
          calling commands in Windows which are contained in directories
          that contain spaces. (These tests are currently skiped,
          as they're testing for a known bug.)
        * BUGFIX: Spurious warnings about redefining POSIX macros
          no longer plague Windows systems.
