Fedora Project
On Monday, ausil edited lat to exclude the sparc64 architecture, but neglected to add a reference to a corresponding bug as mandated in the Packaging Guidelines. This may well have been because there was no ExcludeArch tracker bug for the sparc64 architecture at all. So today I raised Bug #531446 (ExcludeArch Tracker for sparc64), then Bug #531450 (mono not available on sparc64), and then Bug #531451 (lat unavailable on sparc64) and set up the appropriate dependency hierarchy between these bugs. I was then able to add a reference to the latter bug in the spec file for lat.
Whilst looking at lat, I noticed a bunch of warnings during the build about the use of obsolete API's:

Whilst this didn't prevent the build from completing, I figured it was going to be a problem at some point so after a great deal of googling to find documentation on the new ToolTips API in gtk-sharp 2.12 and later (there's basically no documentation and I eventually found an example I could use in the Muine project), I created this patch to get rid of the warnings:

Local Packages
Updated perl-Convert-UUlib to 1.33 (handle yEnc files with part end=0 and total= more gracefully)
