Modules has once again been updated, bug-fixed, and hopefully improved
with 3.0.6-rko.
This version is the start of "module versioning", that is, providing
a way to use different versions of modules. Exactly, in the same
way that modules allows the user to use different versions of a
given package. To understand how this is used, be sure to read
the INSTALL file. There are also some changes for the user & system dot
files (look at the etc/skel & etc/global files).
This version also fixes bugs with "module swap" and with "module init*"
introduced with 3.0.4-rko, which was a major rewrite to use higher
level Tcl RegExp routines.
The files have been uploaded to sunsite.unc.edu (currently in /incoming/Linux
and it should in the listed directory in a few days).
Primary-site: sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/utils/shell/
Alternate-site: ftp.scruz.net /users/rkowen/public/modules/
Here are the changes:
Modules 3.0.6-rko
Wed Feb 16 09:06:34 PST 2000 R.K. Owen (rk...@ow...)
* Changed "unsetenv" to allow an optional third argument to
set the env.var. to when unloading.
* Fixed bugs with and upgraded the "module init*" commands.
* Added a preliminary RPM .spec file ... some of the versioning
changes conflict with some RPM features.
Modules 3.0.5-rko (not meant for public release)
Fri Jan 21 18:59:18 PST 2000 R.K. Owen (rk...@ow...)
* Changed the behavior if "module" is called without an argument.
In addition to the error message it prints out the help text.
* Fixed a problem with module swapping. A test needs to be
added to the testsuite.
* Rewrote many of the init files & modified modules to allow
one level of env.var. expansion in the MODULEPATH & MODULERCFILE
environment variables. The purpose is to allow the co-existence
of many versions of the module command.
Only this & successive versions will implement this.
* Got the --with-logging configure option actually doing something
in the code. The default is no syslog-ing.
However, this affects the tests ... expect 3 failures originating
from testsuite/modules.50-cmds/100-loglevel.exp .
