==== Fedora Project ====

Today I started to look at the bugs that have been amassing for `smbldap-tools`.
I thought I'd start with an easy one like [[RedHatBugzilla:441833|Bug #441833]], where the tools
assume that the user is using an ISO-8859-1 based locale, but Fedora defaults to UTF-8 everywhere
so this results in bogus conversions to UTF-8 and back again.

However, when I tried on test my first effort at a patch for this on my local Fedora 9 box, I got this result:
{{{
# smbldap-userlist 
Can't locate Unicode/MapUTF8.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/sbin/ /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/smbldap_tools.pm line 28, <DATA> line 228.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/smbldap_tools.pm line 28, <DATA> line 228.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/smbldap-userlist line 30, <DATA> line 228.
}}}
It turned out that the `perl-Unicode-MapUTF8` package hadn't been rebuilt for perl 5.10 in the Fedora 9
development cycle. There had been a mass rebuild of perl packages but somehow this one had slipped through the cracks.
As I'm a co-maintainer for this package in EPEL, I checked in some changes to tidy up the spec and verified that
the resulting package fixed the problem. I also raised [[RedHatBugzilla:447921|Bug #447921]] to track the issue
and alert FedoraProject:AurelienBompard, the package's maintainer, to tag and build the update.

==== Local Packages ====

 * Merged some spec file updates from Rawhide into `dovecot`, particularly regarding the scriptlets
