Local Packages

  • New package autoconf260

  • Updated moin to 1.8.5 and added a patch I use at work to add an additional link in update notification emails, pointing to the updated page as opposed to the specific change

  • Updated perl-version to 0.7702

Fedora Project

  • Raised Bug #521869 on yum-arch relating to the deprecation warnings it emits on systems with python 2.6 and above:

  • /usr/share/yum-arch/yum/pgpmsg.py:16: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is
    deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
      import string, struct, time, cStringIO, base64, types, sha
    
    /usr/lib64/python2.6/gzip.py:117: DeprecationWarning: use the name attribute
      warnings.warn("use the name attribute", DeprecationWarning)
  • I've written a patch that seems to do the job for me, but I'm no python expert so I may have gotten it horribly wrong:
