drakx/perl-install/common.pm, branch 14.36

(cmp_kernel_versions) move it from any.pm to common.pm; thus preventing lazy loading of syscall.ph through

2012-03-12T19:31:03+00:00

any->detect_devices>modules>list_modules>MDK::Common>MDK::Common::System>syscall.ph

This can end in crashing mgaaplet when performing live update (mga#3042)
because of lazy loading of syscall (by which time perl may as well have been
updated including syscall.ph which leave eg perl/5.12.x for perl/5.14.x)

This also saves quite some memory for:
- net_applet (5Mb aka 11%),
- mgapplet (7Mb aka 14%)
(as well as maybe for drakxnet but that's more transient):

(secured_file) ensure that ~/tmp is correctly owned if created

2011-11-27T11:24:48+00:00

callers should probably just use mkstemp in /tmp instead of relying on
$TMPDIR || $ENV{HOME}/tmp
or we should just move the choice of directoyr from callers to here,
sg like:
my $tmpdir = find { -d $_ } $ENV{TMPDIR}, "$ENV{HOME}/tmp", "$::prefix/tmp";

(parse_release_file) silent perl_checker

2011-11-27T00:49:53+00:00

(secured_file) fix crashing on creating temp file if temp dir doesn't exist (mga#1396)

2011-11-27T00:49:50+00:00

also take mandriva-release file in account in common::release_file for consistency with others distributions

2011-05-23T13:20:35+00:00

- string changes: perl -pi -e 's!Can not!Cannot!'

2011-04-04T19:18:28+00:00

- use 'cannot' instead of 'can not'

2011-04-02T19:39:51+00:00

- use 'LDAP' instead of 'Ldap'

Synthesized commit during git-svn import combining previous Mandriva history with Mageia.

(for future use)

- keep in $o->{previous_release} the info about upgraded /etc/release,

2008-09-01T16:13:40+00:00

  and pass "reason" and version to urpmi.addmedia

- we also parse {version} field out of /etc/release
