Reverted curl to build against OpenSSL by default rather than NSS, though NSS support is available at build time by using rpmbuild --with nss for distributions that support it; this change is due to the fact that the curl application behaves differently depending on the crypto backend it uses, which causes problems for scripts that expect the built-against-OpenSSL behaviour (see Bug #266021)
Updated unrar to 3.7.7

Leon is cautiously interested in Helen, and certainly likes her changing mat, as he's new refusing to use his old one and wants to use hers instead.

Updated sendmail to address a compatibility issue with the initscript on Fedora Core 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, and older distributions
The entire repository, or sections of it, are now available using rsync:
$ rsync rsync.city-fan.org:: ftp whole ftp area yum yum repositories for all supported distributions yum-rhl9 yum repository for Red Hat Linux 9 yum-rhel3 yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 yum-rhel4 yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 yum-rhel5 yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 yum-fc1 yum repository for Fedora Core 1 yum-fc2 yum repository for Fedora Core 2 yum-fc3 yum repository for Fedora Core 3 yum-fc4 yum repository for Fedora Core 4 yum-fc5 yum repository for Fedora Core 5 yum-fc6 yum repository for Fedora Core 6 yum-f7 yum repository for Fedora 7 yum-development yum repository for Fedora Development
If you use any of the "yum*" modules, I suggest you use:
$ rsync -av --no-l --copy-links
This is because the RPM packages in the yum repo are symlinks pointing to other directories in the ftp area.
The /etc/rsyncd.conf I'm using for this on rsync.city-fan.org is like this:
uid = rsyncd gid = rsyncd use chroot = no max connections = 4 syslog facility = ftp pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid [ftp] path = /srv/ftp/pub comment = whole ftp area [yum] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo comment = yum repositories for all supported distributions [yum-rhl9] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo/rhl9 comment = yum repository for Red Hat Linux 9 [yum-rhel3] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo/rhel3 comment = yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 [yum-rhel4] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo/rhel4 comment = yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ... more of the same ...

Fedora Project
Updated gtkwave to 3.1.1 (Rawhide)
Updated lat to 1.2.3 (Rawhide and F-7)
There is an updated version of perl-MIME-tools (5.423) available, but I can't update Fedora because it requires perl(File::Temp) >= 0.17 and this version is so recent that it's not even in Rawhide's perl package (File::Temp is a core perl module).
Local Packages
Updated gtkwave to 3.1.1
Updated perl-Test-Manifest to 1.21
Updated perl-YAML to 0.66
Rebuilt python-twisted-core to bring it more in line with the official Fedora version and fix some minor packaging issues
