Fedora Project
Updated pptp to remove pptpsetup's checks for MPPE support in the kernel and pppd since all active Fedora releases include MPPE support in both the kernel and pppd out of the box; this resolves Bug #502967, in which pptpsetup's checks fail if binutils isn't installed, due to the absence of /usr/bin/strings
Built lat and its dependency dbus-sharp for Fedora 12 development, to get a ppc64 build; due to the very late arrival of Mono 2.4 in the Fedora 11 development cycle (not on ppc64 until after final freeze), there has been a race on to get the Mono stack rebuilt for Fedora 11, which has ppc64 support for the first time (and this has been done without doing the Fedora 12 builds in parallel for the sake of expediency), so I did what was necessary to keep a sane upgrade path for my one and only Mono-based package, i.e. lat
PPTP Client Project
Updated pptpsetup to only check for MPPE support in the kernel and pppd if the tunnel being created requires encryption
Local Packages
Updated perl-HTML-SimpleLinkExtor to 1.23
Updated perl-IPC-Run3 to 0.043
Updated perl-Params-Util to 1.00
Updated perl-Test-File to 1.28
Updated perl-Test-MinimumVersion to 0.010
Updated perl-Test-Prereq to 1.037
Updated pptp as per Fedora except only the pppd checks were removed (the package requires ppp >= 2.4.2 so it's safe to assume that all users will have MPPE support there); the kernel checks are only done if setting up a tunnel that requires encryption, and that check doesn't pull in any additional dependencies
