| Patch | Description | Author | Forwarded | Bugs | Origin | Last update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| debian/cpan_definstalldirs.diff | Provide a sensible INSTALLDIRS default for modules installed from CPAN. Some modules which are included in core set INSTALLDIRS => 'perl' explicitly in Makefile.PL or Build.PL. This makes sense for the normal @INC ordering, but not ours. |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-08 | ||
| debian/db_file_ver.diff | Remove overly restrictive DB_File version check. Package dependencies ensure the correct library is linked at run-time. |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | debian | 2005-12-16 | |
| debian/doc_info.diff | Replace generic man(1) instructions with Debian-specific information. Indicate that the user needs to install the perl-doc package. |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-18 | ||
| debian/enc2xs_inc.diff | Tweak enc2xs to follow symlinks and ignore missing @INC directories. - ignore missing directories, - follow symlinks (/usr/share/perl/5.8 -> 5.8.4). - filter "." out when running "enc2xs -C", it's unnecessary and causes issues with follow => 1 (see #603686 and [rt.cpan.org #64585]) |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | debian | 2005-03-08 | |
| debian/errno_ver.diff | Remove Errno version check due to upgrade problems with long-running processes. Remove version check which can cause problems for long running processes embedding perl when upgrading to a newer version, compatible, but built on a different machine. |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | debian | 2005-12-16 | |

| fixes/respect_umask.diff | Respect umask during installation This is needed to satisfy Debian policy regarding group-writable site directories. |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-08 | ||
| debian/writable_site_dirs.diff | Set umask approproately for site install directories Policy requires group writable site directories |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-08 | ||
| debian/extutils_set_libperl_path.diff | EU:MM: set location of libperl.a under /usr/lib The Debian packaging moves libperl.a a couple of levels up from the CORE directory to match other static libraries. |
Niko Tyni <ntyni@debian.org> | no | 2014-05-10 | ||
| debian/no_packlist_perllocal.diff | Don't install .packlist or perllocal.pod for perl or vendor | Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-08 | ||
| debian/fakeroot.diff | Postpone LD_LIBRARY_PATH evaluation to the binary targets. Modify the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH to append pre-existing values at the time the rule is evaluated rather than when the Makefile is created. This is required when building packages with dpkg-buildpackage and fakeroot, since fakeroot (which now sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH) is not used for the "build" rule where the Makefile is created, but is for the clean/binary* targets. |
Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-18 | ||
| debian/instmodsh_doc.diff | Debian policy doesn't install .packlist files for core or vendor. | Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-08 | ||
| debian/ld_run_path.diff | Remove standard libs from LD_RUN_PATH as per Debian policy. | Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-18 | ||
| debian/libnet_config_path.diff | Set location of libnet.cfg to /etc/perl/Net as /usr may not be writable. | Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> | no | 2005-03-08 | ||

| debian/squelch-locale-warnings.diff | Squelch locale warnings in Debian package maintainer scripts The system locales are rather frequently out of sync with the C library during package upgrades, causing a huge amount of useless Perl locale warnings. Squelch them when running package maintainer scripts, detected by the DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION environment variable. Any real locale problem will show up after the system upgrade too, and the warning will be triggered normally again at that point. |

| debian/find_html2text.diff | Configure CPAN::Distribution with correct name of html2text If you use cpan from Debian you usually wind up trying to read online documentation through it. Unfortunately cpan can't find the html2text.pl script even though it is installed using the Debian package 'html2text'. Please see the attached patch for a quick fix of this issue. [Maintainer's note: html2text in Debian is not the same implementation as the html2text.pl which is expected, but should provide similar functionality]. |

| debian/cpan-missing-site-dirs.diff | Fix CPAN::FirstTime defaults with nonexisting site dirs if a parent is writable The site directories do not exist on a typical Debian system. The build systems will create them when necessary, so there's no need for a prompt suggesting local::lib if the first existing parent directory is writable. Also, writability of the core directories is not interesting as we explicitly tell CPAN not to touch those with INSTALLDIRS=site. |

| fixes/memoize_storable_nstore.diff | Memoize::Storable: respect 'nstore' option not respected Memoize(3perl) says: tie my %cache => 'Memoize::Storable', $filename, 'nstore'; memoize 'function', SCALAR_CACHE => [HASH => \%cache]; Include the nstore option to have the "Storable" database written in network order. (See Storable for more details about this.) In fact the "nstore" option does no such thing. Option parsing looks like this: @options{@_} = (); $self->{OPTIONS}{'nstore'} is accordingly set to undef. Later Memoize::Storable checks if the option is true, and since undef is not true, the "else" branch is always taken. if ($self->{OPTIONS}{'nstore'}) { Storable::nstore($self->{H}, $self->{FILENAME}); } else { Storable::store($self->{H}, $self->{FILENAME}); } Correcting the condition to (exists $self->{OPTIONS}{'nstore'}) fixes it. Noticed because git-svn, which uses the 'nstore' option for its on-disk caches, was producing Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm when run using a perl with a different integer size (and hence byteorder).

| debian/makemaker-pasthru.diff | Pass LD settings through to subdirectories [rt.cpan.org #28632] fixed most issues with passing LD down to subdirectory Makefile.PL files. However, there are some distributions (including Wx, Par::Packer, and Verilog-Perl) that explicitly set LD. Those still can't be overridden from the command line. Adding LD to the PASTHRU list fixes this. |

| debian/mod_paths.diff | Tweak @INC ordering for Debian Our order is: etc (Debian specific, for config files) site (5.8.1) vendor (all) core in perl-base (Debian specific, via APPLLIB_EXP) core (5.8.1) site (version-indep) site (pre-5.8.1) The rationale being that an admin (via site), or module packager (vendor) can chose to shadow core modules when there is a newer version than is included in core.

| debian/disable-stack-check.diff | Disable debugperl stack extension checks for binary compatibility with perl When an XS module is built without -DDEBUGGING but the interpreter is, the debugging stack high-water mark checking on the interpreter side doesn't work properly. This makes /usr/bin/debugperl less useful than it could be as it can no longer use many XS module packages. Patch the check away for now. We hope upstream will provide a Configure option for this in the future. |

| fixes/io_socket_ip_ipv6.diff | Disable getaddrinfo(3) AI_ADDRCONFIG for localhost and IPv4 numeric addresses I_ADDRCONFIG can be a bad default for systems with a dual protocol loopback device but just IPv6 connectivity. In such a case, getaddrinfo(3) on 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 will fail with EAI_ADDRFAMILY even though the loopback device is able to handle them. |

| debian/usrmerge-lib64.diff | Configure / libpth.U: Do not adjust glibpth when /usr/lib64 is present. This results in differing values when built on a usrmerge system. [Niko Tyni: Debian systems have /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and nothing else, so but so called "usrmerged" systems with symlinks like /lib64 -> /usr/lib64 would trigger the unnecessary addition of both in glibpth.] |

| debian/hurd-eumm-workaround.diff | Work around a MakeMaker regression breaking GNU/Hurd hint files The idiom of do './hints/linux.pl' or die $@; broke with https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/367 which made $self a lexical variable so it is no longer visible in a file loaded with 'do'. This silently makes the loaded Linux hints a no-op, leading to missing symbols, broken modules and test failures in at least NDBM_File and ODBM_File on GNU/Hurd, as reported by Samuel Thibault in https://bugs.debian.org/1018289 . The replacement of eval `cat hints/linux.pl` is not very sophisticated but should be enough for this, and alternatives seem overly verbose. The ExtUtils::MakeMaker change will be reverted in a future release, and this patch can be dropped after that. |

| fixes/readline-stream-errors.diff | only clear the stream error state in readline() for glob() This would previously clear the stream error state in any case where sv_gets() failed and the error state was set. This included normal files, which meant that the fact that an error occurred was no longer reflected in the stream state. For reads from ARGV this was a no-op, since nextargv() re-opens the input stream by calling do_open6() which closes the old input stream silently. For glob() (and really only for miniperl, since File::Glob is used for a full perl) leaving the stream in an error state could be confusing for the error reporting done when do_close() fails, since it would fail if the stream has an error state, but we report it as the underlying pclose() failing due to the child process failing in some way. Since this now leaves the error state on the stream, the close() calls in the test updated by this commit would fail, changing its output. Since the result of those closes didn't seem related to the purpose of the test, I changed it not throw an error on either close() failing. |

| fixes/lto-test-fix.diff | skip checking categorization of libperl symbols for LTO builds For LTO builds with gcc and clang the PL_no_mem symbol as listed by nm is flagged as "D" (writable data) and "T" (text, aka code) respectively. Looking at the final generated executable PL_no_mem does end up in the .rodata (read only data) section, so it might be worth adding a separate test for that. Fixes #20518 |

| fixes/CVE-2023-47038.diff | Fix read/write past buffer end: perl-security#140 A package name may be specified in a \p{...} regular expression construct. If unspecified, "utf8::" is assumed, which is the package all official Unicode properties are in. By specifying a different package, one can create a user-defined property with the same unqualified name as a Unicode one. Such a property is defined by a sub whose name begins with "Is" or "In", and if the sub wishes to refer to an official Unicode property, it must explicitly specify the "utf8::". S_parse_uniprop_string() is used to parse the interior of both \p{} and the user-defined sub lines. In S_parse_uniprop_string(), it parses the input "name" parameter, creating a modified copy, "lookup_name", malloc'ed with the same size as "name". The modifications are essentially to create a canonicalized version of the input, with such things as extraneous white-space stripped off. I found it convenient to strip off the package specifier "utf8::". To to so, the code simply pretends "lookup_name" begins just after the "utf8::", and adjusts various other values to compensate. However, it missed the adjustment of one required one. This is only a problem when the property name begins with "perl" and isn't "perlspace" nor "perlword". All such ones are undocumented internal properties. What happens in this case is that the input is reparsed with slightly different rules in effect as to what is legal versus illegal. The problem is that "lookup_name" no longer is pointing to its initial value, but "name" is. Thus the space allocated for filling "lookup_name" is now shorter than "name", and as this shortened "lookup_name" is filled by copying suitable portions of "name", the write can be to unallocated space. The solution is to skip the "utf8::" when reparsing "name". Then both "lookup_name" and "name" are effectively shortened by the same amount, and there is no going off the end. This commit also does white-space adjustment so that things align vertically for readability. This can be easily backported to earlier Perl releases. |
