Wednesday 1st February 2012

Fedora Project

  • _libssh2_channel_read: fix non-blocking window adjusting

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Package-Generator in Rawhide

Local Packages

• Updated libssh2 to 1.4.0 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-AnyEvent to run the Tk event loop tests again now that it's fixed

• Updated perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS to 3.14:

  • ExtUtils::Typemaps:

    • Embedded typemap dumping: a method that will produce the verbatim string for inclusion in XS

    • Introducing ExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd, a helper module that can produce embedded typemap strings via simple one-liners - useful for including typemaps from other modules in XS code with INCLUDE_COMMAND

  • ExtUtils::ParseXS:

    • Bugfix: used to have parsing problems with embedded typemaps occasionally
    • Better error messages on typemap-related issues: if no typemap was found for a given C type, list all mapped C types so that the user hopefully spots his mistake easily

  • Proper repository and bug-tracker info in META.json

• Updated perl-Net-DNS to 0.68:

  • CPAN RT#72314: Let a Net::DNS::Nameserver bind on Net::DNS::Nameserver::DEFAULT_ADDR as a last resort

  • Fix to suppress false warnings about subroutine profiles on ancient versions of perl

  • Fix to avoid constants with value undef, which prevents unwanted code from being optimized away on ancient versions of perl

  • Fix code error in PTR.pm, canonical RDATA not downcased

  • Enhancement to clarify the function of parse and data methods, by renaming them to decode and encode respectively

  • Feature IDN query support: Queries for domain names containing non-ASCII characters are now possible on Unicode platforms with CPAN Net::LibIDN installed

  • Introduction of Mailbox.pm module that will be used in the future to represent RDATA components containing DNS coded RFC822 mailbox addresses

  • Introduction of Text.pm module that will be used in the future to represent RDATA components containing text

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Package-Generator

Tuesday 31st January 2012

Local Packages

• Updated perl-AnyEvent to 6.14:

  • AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside, probably an editing mistake

Monday 30th January 2012

Fedora Project

• Became co-maintainer of perl-Parse-RecDescent in Rawhide

Local Packages

• New package perl-Net-Daemon (0.48)

• New package perl-PlRPC (0.2020)

  • NOTE: The officially supported minimum perl version will change from perl 5.8.1 (2003) to perl 5.8.3 (2004) in a future release

  • Fixed ParamTypes example in the pod

  • Fixed the definition of ArrayTupleStatus and remove confusion over rows affected in list context of execute_array

  • Fixed sql_type_cast example and typo in errors

  • Fixed Gofer error handling for keeperr methods like ping

  • Fixed $dbh->clone({}) (CPAN RT#73250)

  • Fixed is_nested_call logic error (CPAN RT#73118)

  • Enhanced performance for threaded perls

  • Enhanced and standardized driver trace level mechanism

  • Removed old code that was an ineffective attempt to detect people doing DBI->{Attrib}

  • Clear ParamValues on bind_param param count error (CPAN RT#66127)

  • Changed DBI::ProxyServer to require DBI at compile-time (CPAN RT#62672)

  • Added pod for default_user to DBI::DBD

  • Added CON, ENC and DBD trace flags and extended 09trace.t

  • Added TXN trace flags and applied CON and TXN to relevant methods

  • Added some more fetchall_arrayref(..., $maxrows) tests

  • Clarified docs for fetchall_arrayref called on an inactive handle

  • Clarified docs for clone method

  • Added note to DBI::Profile about async queries

  • Reserved spatialite_ as a driver prefix for DBD::Spatialite

  • Reserved mo_ as a driver prefix for DBD::MO

  • Updated link to the SQL Reunion 95 docs (CPAN RT#69577)

  • Changed links for DBI recipes (CPAN RT#73286)

• I added perl(RPC::PlClient) as a build requirement to ensure that we can grok all of the module versions

• Updated perl-IPC-Cmd to 0.76:

  • CPAN RT#74373: Compilation error when POSIX.pm fails to load

  • CPAN RT#74470: Empty string cannot be passed to command

  • Make the empty arg stripping the default again, with an option to override this behaviour

• Updated perl-Mail-SPF to 2.8.0:

  • Sanitize result local_explanation (as well as result object string representation) by replacing all non-printable or non-ascii characters with their hex-escaped representation, e.g. "\x00" (bugs.launchpad.net #806926)

  • Change openspf.org URLs to openspf.net because openspf.org is unreachable indefinitely

  • Change http://www.ietf.org/rfc/….txt URLs to http://tools.ietf.org/html/…

  • META.yml: configure_requires: Module::Build 0.2805

  • META.yml: requires: Net::DNS 0.62 (was: 0.52) (CPAN RT#28545)

  • META.yml: Revert to flat version numbers for perl and Net::DNS::Resolver::Programmable build requirements to avoid Module::Build::Compat/Makefile.PL incompatibilities (CPAN RT#53231)

  • Attempt to prevent a cascading failure in t/00.03-class-result.t that seems to happen under rare, unknown circumstances (CPAN RT#39099)

• Updated perl-Parse-RecDescent to 1.967003:

  • Non-backwards-compatible change: change the caches for $prevline and $thisline to be local to the parser, rather than lexical vars in Parse::RecDescent; this prevents previously-generated parsers from interfering with the line counts of later parsers

  • Patched unnamed subrules, so that they actual fail when not correctly specified
  • Added skip tests
  • Fixed restoration of skipped prefixes on match failure
  • Removed formats to eliminate problems with filehandle duplication in forked environments
  • Removed trailing whitespace from all member files (cosmetic)

  • Modified _write_ERROR to call formline twice to avoid repeated $errorprefix

  • Collected match tracing messages into a common function that takes into account positive/negative lookahead

  • Fixed RD_AUTOSTUB to work with precompiled parsers (CPAN RT#74258)

  • Special-case $::RD_AUTOSTUB eq 1; $::RD_AUTOSTUB's value is ignored, and the unknown subrule 'rule' has a production "rule: 'rule'", rather than "rule: '1'"

  • Change Parse::RecDescent::new to call $self->Replace with only the grammar as an argument, which prevents the $compiling argument to new() from being incorrectly interpreted as $isimplicit

  • Recognize regex with single backslash properly (CPAN RT#29966); changed the definition of $TOKEN to handle backslashes inside of regex patterns

  • Skip tests in t/reentry.t if Test::Warn isn't available
