Fedora Project
Took ownership of the orphaned python-crypto package and updated it to 2.1.0 in devel
Updated bluefish in devel branch to 2.0.0
Fixed FTBFS bug (Bug #564718) in perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime. The problem causing the build failure was that perl's idea of version numbering differs from rpm's idea of it. The package had a buildreq of perl(DateTime) >= 0.4304, which is how upstream specify the requirement. However, Fedora has recently updated to perl(DateTime) version 0.53, which in perl would be fine but rpm believes this to be a lower version than 0.4304. I resolved this by bumping the buildreq to 0.44, the oldest 2-digit version that satisfies the requirement. The resulting package then got as far as building, but the test suite failed due to an incompatibility (see upstream ticket 19) with perl(DateTime::Locale) version 0.43, also recently updated in Fedora. Updating perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to the current upstream version 1.1000 resolved that problem.
Updated proftpd in devel branch to 1.3.2d maintenance release
