Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Parse-RecDescent to 1.963 (fix subtle bug in leftop and rightop due to removal of $&); I did this as much to test a curl update as for any other reason, since "make new-sources" in a Fedora SCM checkout is the only reliable way I have of checking that NSS crypto in curl works properly

Local Packages

  • New package perl-Mail-IMAPClient (3.23)

  • New package perl-Parse-RecDescent (1.963)

  • New package perl-Term-ReadKey (2.30); I had to disable the test suite for this package because although it runs fine in rpmbuild normally, it hangs in mock on my Fedora 12 buildsystem - on the Fedora buildsystem the host OS is RHEL-5 and that displays a different problem, namely a failure to open /dev/tty for reading, which leads to all of the tests being skipped anyway (I added a comment to Bug #510183 to see if anyone could figure out what was up with that)

  • Updated fetchyahoo to 2.13.8 (downloading sent messages works again; allow moving messages to a Yahoo! folder; fixed formatting for some multi-part messages) and added some extra dependencies for enhanced functionality, namely perl(IO::Socket::SSL), perl(Mail::IMAPClient), and perl(Term::ReadKey)

  • Updated curl to 7.20.0, dropping upstreamed patches and updating some of the others

  • Updated fetchyahoo to 2.13.9 (add support for debugging output and SMTP authentication, change code to make filtering on subject/sender easier, fix subject parsing for messages with attachments); dropped dependencies on perl-libwww-perl and perl-MIME-tools, replacing them with dependencies on the actual modules required, namely perl(HTML::Entities) and perl(Net::SMTP) (all other required module dependencies are picked up automatically)
