Hello.
File::ExtAttr 1.08 should be available soon from CPAN. This releases
clean up some API issues (inconsistent reporting of errors in $!),
reports "unknown attribute" errors consistently across platforms, and
has some build fixes.
Changes below.
Rich =]
1.08 2008-08-19
- (richdawe) Add a typemap for usage of "const char *" in the XS.
This may help fix the build with Perl 5.6.x or earlier.
- (richdawe) Remove NetBSD 3.x from list of supported OSes,
since File::ExtAttr's test suite will never pass on it.
- (richdawe) Update Makefile.PL to fail more gracefully when the build
pre-requisites are not present. On Linux use
Devel::CheckLib to check for libattr. Also exit
more gracefully if libattr's headers are not present.
- (richdawe) OpenBSD isn't supported, so bail gracefully
in Makefile.PL on that platform.
- (richdawe) Make sure that the errno value from any failed
system calls is propagated into $! (#32679, #32680).
- (richdawe) File::ExtAttr no longer generate noisy warnings
when an xattr system call fails. All error reporting
is now via the function return values and $!.
- (richdawe) Operations with non-default or non-"user" namespaces
will now fail with EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOATTR
on Mac OS X, *BSD and Solaris. This behaviour
matches the behaviour on Linux.
- (richdawe) Added a note to the documentation about Solaris
extensible system attributes, which are different
to extended file attributes.

Hello. I've released File::ExtAttr 1.05, which is available from here: <http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-ExtAttr/>. Changes: 1.05 2007-08-13 - (richdawe) Fix META.yml so that it's valid. Add a test using Test::YAML::Meta to the test suite, to validate META.yml. - (richdawe) Fix RT #27864: "Tests fail with nl_NL locale set". - (richdawe) Add test cases for setting attributes on directories, by filename. - (richdawe) Bugfix: Fix a memory leak in getfattr(). The memory was leaked when the function failed, e.g.: if it was called with the name of a non-existent attribute.

Hello. I've released File::ExtAttr 1.04, which should appear here soon: <http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-ExtAttr/>. Changes: 1.04 2007-05-06 - (richdawe) OpenBSD does not support extended attributes -- fail the build on OpenBSD; documentation updates. - (richdawe) Really fix build for NetBSD 3.x. Update the test suite to skip tests on NetBSD 3.1 or earlier, since NetBSD 4.0 is the first version to actually have filesystem support for extended attributes.

Hello. I've released File::ExtAttr 1.03 <http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-ExtAttr/>. Changes: 1.03 2007-04-27 - (richdawe) Fix RT #26542: "Tests fail with taint-mode and ATTR_TEST_DIR set"; also document ATTR_TEST_DIR. - (richdawe) Build fix for NetBSD, OpenBSD: Use strerror() if strerror_r() is not available. NOTE: The NetBSD and OpenBSD builds are not fixed. I haven't got a test system for those at the moment, because VMware seems to be hosed on both my Fedora Core 6 machines. :( Bye, Rich =] -- Richard Dawe [ http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~phekda/richdawe/ ] "You just amass stuff while you are alive.
