Fedora Project

  • JasonTibbitts kindly approved my perl-File-Comments package submission, which is now waiting for CVS

  • Submitted a package for perl-Math-BigInt-GMP, which is needed for GMP (GNU maths library) support for users of perl-Math-BigInt (e.g. Crypt::DSA and Crypt::DH); this used to be provided by perl-Math-GMP but Math::BigInt 1.87 and above as included in Fedora 9 onwards use this new module instead, and spew warnings about math libs not being found if it's missing

Local Packages

  • More perl module cleanups: perl-Crypt-SmbHash, perl-Digest-MD4, perl-File-Find-Rule, perl-FreezeThaw, perl-IO-stringy, perl-MIME-XBase64, perl-Test-Pod-Coverage, perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser, perl-Mail-Sendmail, perl-Test-Builder-Tester, perl-Text-Glob, perl-TimeDate; no significant changes in any of those
