==== Fedora QA ====

 * Submitted buildreq bugs-with-fixes for [[RedHatBugzilla:200387|logjam]], [[RedHatBugzilla:200399|multisync]], [[RedHatBugzilla:200406|mysql-administrator]], [[RedHatBugzilla:200420|nautilus-search-tool]], [[RedHatBugzilla:200423|ncmpc]], [[RedHatBugzilla:200424|NetworkManager-vpnc]], [[RedHatBugzilla:200429|ngrep]], and [[RedHatBugzilla:200439|openal]]

==== Local Packages ====

 * New package `flex-new`, which is `flex` 2.5.33; this is a new version of `flex` that is not fully backwards-compatible with `flex` 2.5.4 (as shipped even in Fedora Core 6), so I've made this package parallel-installable with `flex` and using it requires manual specification of `flex-new` as the lexer, use of `/usr/include/flex-new` as a header search directory for the compiler, and use of `/usr/lib(64)?/flex-new` as a library search directory for the linker; `flex-new` is needed for `xxdiff` 3.2
 * Updated `xxdiff` to 3.2, which is a significant rewrite of the package; I've split off the python scripts into a `tools` subpackage, and due to the code being written for python 2.4, some of those tools won't work on older distributions. I suspect the fixes for this are pretty easy for someone who knows python.
