Fedora Project

Completed the task started back in March of getting perl-Net-SSH-Perl into EPEL for Xavier Bachelot, who needs it for perl-Net-SFTP:

  • Got in touch with StevenPritchard who OK-ed me to fix up and build for EPEL the perl-Crypt-DES_EDE3, perl-Class-ErrorHandler, perl-Convert-PEM, and perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour packages

  • Built my own packages for perl-Crypt-DSA, perl-Crypt-RSA, and perl-Net-SSH-Perl

  • Whilst I was at it, I noticed that the manpage for Crypt::RSA wasn't UTF-8 encoded, so I fixed that in devel too

  • Having done all those, Xavier then asked me to do the same for perl-Net-SFTP itself, which was actually another of Steve's packages, so I did, committing and building it after testing that it was functional from a CentOS4 chroot

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Test-Output to 0.15 (Fedora 9 onwards)

Built many more packages for the upcoming Fedora 11 repository: bw-whois, grepmail, perl-Algorithm-Diff, perl-Convert-BinHex, perl-Convert-TNEF, perl-Config-Tiny, perl-ConfigReader-Simple, perl-Crypt-GPG, perl-Crypt-SmbHash, perl-Devel-Symdump, perl-Digest-BubbleBabble, perl-Error, perl-Expect, perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder, perl-File-Find-Rule, perl-File-Remove, perl-FileHandle-Unget, perl-HTML-SimpleLinkExtor, perl-HTTP-SimpleLinkChecker, perl-HTTP-Size, perl-IO-Multiplex, perl-IO-stringy, perl-IPC-Run3, perl-Jcode, perl-LMAP-CID2SPF, perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser, perl-Mail-Sender, perl-Mail-Sendmail, perl-Mail-SPF, perl-Mail-SPF-Query, perl-Mail-SPF-Test, perl-Mail-SRS

I also did a full rebuild for all releases of perl-File-Remove, with a buildreq of perl(Test::CPAN::Meta) added, as that wasn't available when I originally built the package.

The build of perl-HTML-SimpleLinkExtor proved to be particularly tricky as the test suite mysteriously failed, and even a Fedora 10 build (which had worked when I created the Fedora 10 repo) failed the same way.

Looking on CPAN revealed many more testers with the same issue but no bug report. I managed to track this problem down to a change made in HTML::Parser after version 3.56 that made most of the links in the example files (after an <IFRAME> tag) invisible to HTML::LinkExtor (which HTML::SimpleLinkExtor uses). I raised CPAN Bug #46052 about this.
