Working from home today due to snow causing traffic chaos and nursery probably closing due to concerns about staff being able to travel.

• Updated perl-BerkeleyDB to 0.40 (added support for set_tx_max, log_set_config, set_lk_max_lockers, set_lk_max_locks, set_lk_max_objects via the Env constructor - CPAN RT#50456)

Monday 11th January 2010

Local Packages

• Updated perl-BerkeleyDB to 0.41 (silence "UNIVERSAL->import is deprecated" in perl 5.11 - CPAN RT#53518)

• Updated perl-version to 0.79 (match code that will be in Perl 5.12, but no API changes); this wouldn't compile on many of the distributions I build for due to problems with the PERL_ARGS_ASSERT_PRESCAN_VERSION assertion - I raised CPAN RT#53594 about this, with a patch I used to work around the problem

• Updated libidn to 1.16 (fixes for unpackaged java and MinGW ports)

Thursday 14th January 2010

Fedora Project

• Got a FTBFS bug on gnome-libs (Bug #555485), which was a bit surprising given the age and stability of that particular package. It turned out that libpng10 had been broken in 1.0.51 and 1.0.52 as currently found in Rawhide and was missing the png_set_strip_16 function. I raised this with libpng upstream and it was fixed promptly in a beta release of 1.0.53. In the meantime I patched 1.0.52 in Rawhide with the same fix and it resolved the problem.

• Updated perl-Module-Build to 0.3603 (Module::Build::Compat would croak on distributions that set requires 'perl' to a dotted decimal like '5.6.2' - we now skip that key since it doesn't go into PREREQ_PM and we numify it properly for 'use 5.006002' in the generated Makefile.PL - CPAN RT#53409; fix failures in t/properties/needs_compiler.t when $ENV{CC} is set - CPAN RT#53296)

• Updated perl-Moose to 0.94 (see Changes for details); new upstream maintainer ➾ new source URL; XS code built by default ➾ package is no longer noarch; buildreq perl(Test::Deep) for additional test coverage; bump perl(Class::MOP) requirement to 0.98; run author tests as well as regular tests; buildreq perl(File::Find::Rule), perl(Module::Info), perl(Test::Pod), perl(Test::Pod::Coverage), perl(Test::Spelling) and aspell-en for author tests; update old-Test::More patch; filter doc file dependencies on Test::More and Test::Exception

• Updated perl-Test-Pod to 1.41 (don't complain about L<text|url>, no longer illegal); new upstream maintainer ➾ new source URL; BR: perl(Module::Build) rather than perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker); use Module::Build flow

• Updated perl-Unicode-Map8 to 0.13 (tweak for compatibility with Strawberry Perl - CPAN RT#50443)

Carling Cup Semi-Final

The 2-1 win over United leaves the tie delicately balanced but we won't get away with showing United too much respect again at Old Trafford in the second leg. If we can play like we did in the middle period of the game we could be OK but we have to keep the ball better when under pressure like we were at the end. It was reminiscent of the game earlier in the season at Old Trafford where in injury time we kept just hoofing the ball away and of course it came straight back at us, only this time there was no dramatic ending. Sylvinho had the right idea, running with the ball into the channel and winding the clock down.

Team selection will be interesting for both sides for the second leg next week. The City side may seen the return of Ireland and Adebayor (which would hopefully result in us being more positive), whilst United may not want to play as strong a side again given that they have Arsenal away in the league a few days later.

As for tonight's penalty, I was as surprised as anyone that it was given - I don't think anyone was even appealing for it so it can hardly be said that the referee was influenced by the crowd for that decision. They say that these sorts of decisions even themselves out but I hadn't expected to wait nearly 14 years for balance regarding Alan Wilkie's shocking decision in the FA Cup 5th Round derby in 1996.
