Updated grepmail to 5.3034
Updated perl-BerkeleyDB to improve the requires/provides filtering
After building my perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser package yesterday, I tested it by building grepmail. I couldn't get the latest version (5.3034) to build, firstly because it fails to build unless Module::AutoInstall is present:
$ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor --default Can't locate Module/AutoInstall.pm in @INC (@INC contains: inc lib /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 /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at inc/Module/Install/CheckOptional.pm line 8.

Warning: prerequisite Digest::MD5 reduces memory consumption for the -u (unique) option 0 not found. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Undefined subroutine &Module::AutoInstall::postamble called at Makefile.PL line 29.
I got past this by adding AutoInstall.pm from the Module::Install 0.91 distribution into inc/Module/; the Makefile.PL then ran OK:
$ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor --default *************************************************************************** NOTE: The optional module Benchmark::Timer (version 0) is not installed.

So I raised upstream issue 1 about this issue, which clearly affected lots of CPAN testers too.
The next problem was the test suite; two of the tests failed:
$ /usr/bin/make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'inc', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/append_header.t ........... ok t/auto_search.t ............. ok t/body.t .................... ok t/cache.t ................... ok t/complex_expression.t ...... ok t/count.t ................... ok t/date.t .................... ok t/date_manip.t .............. ok t/header.t .................. ok t/help.t .................... ok t/ignore_signatures.t ....... ok t/invalid_date.t ............ ok t/invalid_mailbox.t ......... ok t/line_number.t ............. ok t/list.t .................... ok t/match_compressed.t ........ ok t/match_headers.t ........... ok t/match_words.t ............. ok # Failed test 'Did not encounter an error executing the test when one was expected. # # ' # at t/nonexistent_mailbox.t line 102. # Failed test 'Did not encounter an error executing the test when one was expected. # # ' # at t/nonexistent_mailbox.t line 102. # Looks like you planned 8 tests but ran 6. # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 6 run. t/nonexistent_mailbox.t .....

Now I believe that the nonexistent_mailbox.t failures are due to a change in Mail::Mbox::MessageParser's handling of empty mailboxes and can hence be expected (reverting Mail::Mbox::MessageParser back to version 1.5000 made that problem go away). So I added this patch to skip the affected tests if we're using Mail::Mbox::MessageParser >= 1.5002:
--- grepmail-5.3034/t/nonexistent_mailbox.t 2009-09-02 11:51:28.000000000 +0100

}The recursive.t failure was even stranger because the failure here appears to be due to a change in this test from version 5.3033 that was supposed to fix a test failure, and reverting that change with the patch below made the test pass:

Fedora Project
Today I noticed that the recently-updated redhat-rpm-config package contained the file /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros.orig, which looked suspiciously like a patch backup file, and upon looking in CVS, that's exactly what it turned out to be. Rather than raising a bug about it, I decided to just fix it myself, first in Rawhide including a rebuild, and then in F-11 and F-10 (CVS only, no rebuilds as I didn't think the change warranted an update). Whilst I was at it I fixed up a few trivial issues with the specs such as missing %build sections, unescaped macros in the changelogs, and summaries ending with periods. When I got to the F-10 version, I found that there was another patch there creating a macros.orig file, that had been reported in Bugzilla and fixed in F-11 onwards (Bug #500316). Not only that, but the patch to include the automatic provides and requires filtering hadn't actually been applied in the F-10 version. That one warranted a rebuild so I tagged and built it and created a update for it.
I also got round to reviewing and approving Ben Boeckel's trac-accountmanager-plugin package at last.

Got a response back from Greg Roelofs, de facto upstream maintainer of xv these days, about the patches I sent him last month. He's busy at the moment but has queued them up to look at with a view to including them in the next release, along with a performance patch he's been working on. It's probably time to try merging my patches into the RPM Fusion version now.
XKB Error
Ever since updating to Fedora 11, I've been getting this error message popping up after logging into a Gnome session:
Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 10601901 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
The output of those commands was as follows:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "gb", "", "" $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [uk] options = [] model = sp_inet
The problem turned out to be the bogus uk layout, which should have been gb - a hangover from previous releases where it hadn't been a problem. I ran gnome-keyboard-properties and replaced the existing layout with the United Kingdom layout, which changed the gconftool output as follows:
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd model = sp_inet options = [terminate terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp grp:shift_caps_toggle] layouts = [gb]
After logging out and back in again, the problem was gone

RPM Fusion Project
Updated xv in all branches with the changes I've been working on for the last few weeks; was surprised to find that RPM Fusion, unlike EPEL, doesn't have EL-4 branches, which was a shame given that one of the things I added to the package was EL-4 compatibility (any EL-4 users could rebuild the SRPM though if they wanted it)

Whilst doing a rebuild of perl-Expect for Fedora 12, it unexpectedly failed its test suite in my mock buildsystem. In fact, the problem wasn't just limited to F-12 - builds for all targets failed the same way:

This turned out to be due to a change in mock 0.9.17 to address Bug #510183 (mock mounts /dev/pts in chroot with wrong options) but an additional change had also been made (incompletely), resulting in the breakage. I found that commenting out the following two lines in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mock/backend.py fixed the problem:

Fedora Project
Updated perl-Sysadm-Install to 0.33
Local Packages
Updated dovecot to 1.2.5
Updated perl-Mail-Sender to remove a redundant unversioned provide of perl(Mail::Sender) in recent distributions; this proved to be harder that it looked, as older distributions didn't have the versioned provide and so I couldn't simply filter out the unversioned one. I tried a more complex awk script that removed the unversioned provide if the versioned one was present, but that didn't work because the %{__perl_provides} script is called separately for each perl file in the buildroot and the versioned and unversioned provides come from separate calls. In the end I fixed it by manually adding versioning to the unversioned provide and then letting the duplicate entry removal take out one of them.
Updated perl-Mail-SPF-Query to disable the test suite, since it depended on live DNS data in the spf1-test.mailzone.com domain that no longer exists (see http://readlist.com/lists/v2.listbox.com/spf-discuss/0/3759.html)
Tuesday 15th September 2009
Local Packages
New package perl-Probe-Perl (0.01), a new dependency of perl-Test-Script
Updated libxml2 to fix a problem with little data at startup affecting inkscape (Bug #523002)
Updated perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS to 2.200401
Updated perl-Mail-SPF-Query to %ghost the alternatives target as per the Fedora guidelines
Updated perl-Test-Script to 1.05; this needed patching for Red Hat Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, and Fedora 10 onwards, due to this test script exiting with status 255 rather than the expected (by the testsuite) 9:
#!perl BEGIN { die "Bad"; }Updated pptpconfig to latest version from CVS (passwords now quoted properly in secrets files)
Wednesday 16th September 2009
Local Packages
New package perl-Carp-Heavy (1.01), a dummy package necessary to resolve perl(Carp::Heavy) dependencies on RHL-9, FC-1, and FC-2 as although the actual module is present in the perl packages for these releases, they don't have the "provide" for perl(Carp::Heavy) (Bug #128507); interestingly though, the RHEL-3 perl package, originally derived from the RHL-9 version, doesn't suffer from this problem (at least not in RHEL 3.9); perl(Carp::Heavy) is required by perl-Moose (see below)
New package perl-Filter (1.37), built only for releases up to Fedora Core 5 where it's included in the main perl package; this is a dependency of perl-Filter-Simple
New package perl-Filter-Simple (0.84), required by perl-Moose, built only for releases up to Fedora Core 4 where it's included in the main perl package; releases prior to Fedora Core 4 included this in a separate package like mine, but it wasn't included in RHEL, where I needed it for the EL-4 build of perl-Moose
New package perl-Try-Tiny (0.02), a new dependency of perl-Moose in 0.90
Updated perl-Class-MOP to 0.93 (fixes CPAN RT#45883, CPAN RT#49680, and CPAN RT#48985); I was also able to conditionally apply a couple of patches to support building it with old versions of Test::More all the way back to Fedora Core 1 (Test::More 0.47) - unpatched, the code requires Test::More 0.88, only available in Rawhide at present
Updated perl-Convert-UUlib to 1.31 (doesn't use system versions of case-insensitive string functions as they have been found to be unreliable on some OSes)
Updated perl-File-Which to 1.08 (fix pwhich and add a test for it)
Updated perl-Moose to 0.90, and conditionally applied a couple of patches to support building it with old versions of Test::More and Scalar::Util, so I could build it for all releases from Fedora Core 1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 onwards (Moose requires perl 5.8.1, which isn't available on releases older than these)
Updated xv to add a bunch of additional MIME types to the desktop entry as per the RPM Fusion package
Thursday 17th September 2009
Local Packages
Updated perl-Array-Compare to reinstate the old patch for building on Fedora Core 4 and earlier releases, now that I have perl(Moose) available all the way back to Fedora Core 1, and updated the releases that were previously stuck at 1.18 to 2.01 where possible
Updated perl-Convert-UUlib to 1.32 (permissions on configure script fixed)
Updated perl-Test-Script to 1.06; I had to update the patch for t/03_compiles_bad.t, which was partially fixed upstream but fails with Test::More < 0.77
Updated ppp to use password-auth common PAM configuration where available rather than system-auth
Updated proftpd to use password-auth common PAM configuration where available rather than system-auth
Updated sendmail to use password-auth common PAM configuration where available rather than system-auth
Fedora Project
Fixed proftpd's backwards SRPM compatibility (i.e. make it build and work on EL-4) broken by changing to password-auth common PAM configuration
Friday 18th September 2009
Fedora Project
Updated perl-File-Comments to manually add runtime dependencies on perl(HTML::TreeBuilder), perl(Module::Pluggable), perl(Pod::Parser) and perl(PPI) not picked up automatically by RPM; I discovered the missing perl(PPI) dependency after removing perl(Critic) as a buildreq from perl-Math-GMP due to some test rationalization in that package and found that the spell check test failed (perl(PPI) was being pulled in by perl(Critic) previously), so I then looked through the File::Comments distribution to do a more thorough check for runtime dependencies
Updated perl-Math-GMP to 2.06 (addresses minor issues CPAN RT#46323 and CPAN RT#46324); the release tests are all now enabled/disabled with the same environment variable instead of having their own variables, so I had to remove perl(Critic) as a build requirement (the Critic test fails) and change it to a build conflict since I couldn't disable it without disabling the other release tests; same goes for perl(Test::Pod::Coverage)

Updated mod_fcgid to a post-2.3.1 subversion snapshot from its new upstream; this has a new license (ASL 2.0) and renamed configuration directives
Updated perl-Class-MOP to 0.94 (introduce {get,set}_raw_value in Class::MOP::Attribute, side effect free variants of {get,set}_value)
Updated perl-Moose to 0.92
Rebuilt curl for new libssh2
Thursday 24th September 2009
Fedora Project
Updated pptp to split off the pptpsetup script into a subpackage (pptp-setup) so as to avoid perl dependencies in the main package, which is now included in the Live CD and could do without a huge dependency like perl (Bug #524972)
Local Packages
Updated perl-Sendmail-AccessDB to fix the license tag to a rpmlint-friendly version
Updated perl-Sendmail-Milter to include the patch for CPAN RT#48644 (incorrect parsing of socket name); it still won't build on anything recent or on x86_64, possibly due to CPAN RT#23717
Updated perl-Sendmail-PMilter to not obsolete itself by removing the provide of perl-Sendmail-Milter = 0.18
Updated pptp as per the Fedora package

Updated libxml2 to 2.7.5 (little data at startup patch upstreamed)
Updated libxslt to 1.1.26 (patch for locking bug upstreamed)
Updated mod_fcgid to svn revision 818270, which includes the patches I submitted upstream earlier this week; I've also reinstated the SELinux policy module for the EL-5 build because SELinux support there is incomplete after all (Bug #519369)
Updated perl-Class-C3-XS to 0.13 (backport performance tweaks from bleadperl)
Updated perl-Sendmail-PMilter to 0.97 (compatible with sendmail 8.14) and added a patch to make the no-op functions Sendmail::Milter::{setdb,settimeout} return 'success' values to avoid messages like "Failed to set timeout value!" from applications

Whilst doing a clean-up of the perl-XML-LibXML package ready for import into subversion, I found that the test suite failed in the t/03doc.t test:
