Recent Entries

Tuesday 25th August 2026

Fedora Project

  • Branched and built perl-Archive-Peek (0.37) in EPEL-10.2, EPEL-10.3 and EPEL-10

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Requirements-Dynamic to current release (0.003) in EPEL-10.2, EPEL-10.3 and EPEL-10

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-Helpers to current release (0.028) in EPEL-10.2, EPEL-10.3 and EPEL-10

  • Updated perltidy to 20260826 in F-45, Rawhide and EPEL-10 (see CHANGES.md for details)

  • Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.302224 in F-45 and Rawhide:

    • Fix a typo in an earlier Changes entry (GH#1083)

    • Update the author address to exodist7@gmail.com; mail to the old cpan.org address is no longer delivered

    • Ship AI_AND_LLM_POLICY.md, the contributor policy for AI and LLM generated code, covering human review, bot accounts in tickets and pull requests, and noting AI use

    • Stop shipping perltidyrc and repository-only markdown files

    • Ship the xt/ author and release tests so they run during release testing

    • Ship three test files that an unanchored MANIFEST.SKIP pattern had silently excluded from the distribution

    • Fix POD typos in Test2::API, Test2::Handle, Test2::V1, Test2::API::InterceptResult::Event, and Test2::Manual::Testing::Introduction

    • Quote the file name in the #line directive Test2::Handle generates, so tests pass when the build directory path contains spaces (GH#1088)

    • Fix further POD typos in Test2::V1 (GH#1054)

    • Derive the tested perl versions from the perl-versions action so CI keeps up to date (GH#1085)

    • Reject end() in an array, bag, or hash builder that uses all_items, all_keys, or all_values but specifies no items or fields; such a check can only match an empty structure (GH#1086)

    • Enforce end() in a bag that also uses all_items; extra items were ignored - this includes the implicit end() inside is(), so such bags now warn or fail where they silently passed (GH#1086)

    • Document that Test2::Plugin::BailOnFail and Test2::Plugin::DieOnFail cannot act on a failure inside a forked subtest until the owning process merges it (GH#1081)

    • Use Test2::V0 instead of the deprecated Test2::Bundle::Extended in the Test2::Tools::AsyncSubtest and Test2::Tools::Spec examples (GH#1079)

    • Fail a Test::More subtest whose code dies, reporting the exception inside it, instead of reporting the subtest as passing; the exception still propagates (GH#1075)

    • Return the number of assertions made from done_testing() in Test2::Tools::Basic and Test2::Tools::Tiny, so a test file ending in it is true to do() (GH#1073)

    • Allow the subtest tests to pass with Perl core's more accurate line-number reporting (GH#1090)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Net-IDN-Encode to 2.502:

    • Use uvchr_to_utf8_flags instead of uvuni_to_utf8_flags, which is removed in perl 5.38.0 (GH#11)

    • Update the maintainer information
    • Update the copyright year
    • Add contributors to ACKNOWLEDGMENTS in the README

    • Stop signing releases with Module::Signature

  • Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20260826 as per the Fedora perltidy package

  • Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.302224 as per the Fedora version

Monday 24th August 2026

Fedora Project

  • Updated proftpd (1.3.9d) in F-43, F-44, F-45, Rawhide, EPEL-10.2, EPEL-10.3 and EPEL-10 to fix regression in mod_sql's SQLNamedQuery (Bug #4515, GH#2293)

Local Packages

  • Updated proftpd (1.3.9d and 1.3.10rc4) as per the Fedora version

Sunday 23rd August 2026

    • Check that the MCE Model is imported in the namespace before use
  • Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.65 in F-45 and Rawhide:

    • The 'delete' callback for hashes will now correctly be fired in void context; VMG_COMPAT_HASH_DELETE_NOUVAR_VOID is now always set to false (this is a [good] side effect of the following fix)

    • Fix test failures under perl v5.45.2 (CPAN RT#180372)

    • CONTRIBUTING: AI contributions are not welcomed

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.903 as per the Fedora version
