Revision history for Sysadm::Install
########################################
0.47 (2016/05/29)
(ms) password_read() now writes the prompt to STDERR (instead of STDOUT), and
optionally to /dev/tty if specified. This allows for redirecting STDOUT
(and even STDERR) to a file without losing the password prompt.
0.46 (2015/06/23)
(ms) ask() and pick() now support getting the user's response on the
tty, instead of stdin, so they can be used from within a pipe.
0.45 (2015/05/25)
(ms) Alexandr Ciornii fixed manifest and tests for the Windows platform
0.44 (2014/05/20)
(ms) replaced bin_find() implementation by File::Which
(ms) tap() with raise_error option set now dies with stderr output,
because $! isn't set on failed close().
0.43 (2013/03/16)
(ms) Using binmode() now for slurp/blurt for compatibility with Win32
systems.
0.42 (2013/01/20)

(ms) Added home_dir() function returning user's home directory.
(ms) tap() now supports stdout_limit and stderr_limit options to
limit log verbosity
0.40 (2012/09/15)
(ms) Applied pull request by ks0608 to fix Cwd problem on Win32/Mac

0.33 (2009/09/12)
(ms) utf8_available() now uses eval"" to check for Encode module,
Sysadm::Install therefore no longer requires Encode to be installed.
(ms) Got rid of LWP::Simple because of its env_proxy() call at
compile time, which freaks out on env variables like "use_proxy"
when set to numeric values. Using LWP::UserAgent instead.
0.32 2009/08/28
(ms) Made utf8 handling configurable instead of sneaky capability
detection, after all, there's apps using different encodings.
0.31 2009/08/27
(ms) nhandler(at)ubuntu.com provided a patch to resolve pod2man errors:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=47525

(ms) added utf8_available() and is_utf8_data()
0.29 2009/06/25
(ms) Greg Olszewski added proper error handling to print and
pipe statements
(ms) Fixed up some "if $dir" cases to protect against a
value of "0" in $dir.
(ms) Fixed up logcroak calls to use the current logger instead of
the root logg
0.28 2009/05/11
(ms) Skipping fs_read_open test case if there's no cpio on
the target system (reported for armv5tejl-linux).
(ms) Fixed download() with a better check for getstore(),
suggested by Bernhard Minks.
0.27 2008/03/26
(ms) Fixes a broken CPAN upload.
0.26 2008/03/25
(ms) Added rc/stdout/stderr debug output to tap()

(ms) Fixed directory stack bug in cdback()
0.24 2007/10/24
(ms) Added def_or() function to emulate the //= operator
(ms) Added blurt_atomic() to write data to a file, guaranteeing that
the operation either fully succeeds or fails. It makes sure that
we're not left with a partially written file in case the
operation gets interrupted.
(ms) fixed password_read() documentation bug
0.23 2007/04/01
(ms) Added nice_time() and password_read().
(ms) Fixed quote($str, ":shell") to escape single quotes within
single quotes in a shell-compatible way.
0.22 2006/09/19
(ms) Skipping Archive::Tar tests if A:T isn't installed
0.21 2006/02/02
(ms) Added log messages to cp, mv, download, make.
(ms) untar() and untar_in() now pass the cwd value to
Archive::Tar's extract function to avoid excessive
and expensive cwd() calls (thanks to Greg Olszewski
for finding this performance bottleneck).
0.20 2005/08/13
(ms) Requiring Log4perl-1.00 now to avoid a problem with the
test suite.
0.19 2005/07/28
(ms) Greg Olszewski reported a bug in untar_in() with tarfiles
on relative paths, fixed by using one-argument version of
rel2abs.
0.18 2005/07/14
(ms) Requiring File::Temp 0.16 now (S:I needs OO-API).
(ms) Errors are now reported via croak(), which reports the location
in the calling script, not in Sysadm::Install.
0.17 2005/04/23
(ms) Added interactive mode. If you call
Sysadm::Install::confirm(1) before running Sysadm::Install
commands, every writing function (cp(), mv(), untar(), pie(),
blurt(), ...) will ask the user for confirmation before actually
performing what's been requested. Sysadm::Install::confirm(0)
switches back to normal.
(ms) Added patch by Jud Dagnall to allow slurp() to process
@ARGV like <> does.
(ms) Archive::Tar is no longer mandatory for installation, just
for using untar() and untar_in().
0.16 2005/04/10
(ms) Bumped up Log4perl reporting level. On typical S:I functions,
the log message will show the *calling program*'s file name
and line number.
(ms) slurp() and blurp() are now displaying parts of the data
read/written.
(ms) Added check for IO::Zlib and better error message if it's
not installed and a compressed tarball needs to be processed.

suite succeeds.

(ms) blurt/slurp now report the # of bytes

(ms) removed Expect dependency ('require' on demand)
(ms) added say()
(ms) added sudo_me() and bin_find()
