==== Fedora Project ====

The mass rebuild for Fedora 8 has started.

The technical reasons for this are:
 * Anything that is binary, has debuginfo, and hasn't been built with `rpm` 4.4.2.1-7 or newer (which landed around 2007-08-14 02:00:00.000000 koji time) needs to be rebuilt to include [[FedoraProject:Releases/FeatureBuildId|BuildID]] data
 * Anything built with `binutils` between versions 2.17.50.0.16 and 2.17.50.0.17-7 (that's from 2007-06-12 04:01:15.000000 to 2007-07-31 02:10:19.000000 roughly) caused all ppc32 binaries to need execmem.  SELinux rightfully denies this, and affected packages need to be rebuilt to fix this

The non-technical reasons include getting the license tags to match the new FedoraProject:Licensing policy and to make sure that all maintainers are still around.

Today I rebuilt `gtorrentviewer`,
`perl-Authen-DigestMD5`,
`perl-Class-Loader`,
`perl-Crypt-DH`,
`perl-IO-stringy`,
`perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser`,
`perl-MailTools`,
`perl-Math-GMP`,
`perl-Math-Pari`,
`perl-MIME-tools`,
`perl-Net-SSH-Perl`,
`perl-String-CRC32`, and
`milter-regex`

I also looked at `perl-Tie-EncryptedHash` but it didn't need rebuilding as it's an architecture-independent package
and the license tag is correct, albeit problematic for Fedora, but that's another story...
