Fedora Project

Updated perl-Sysadm-Install in Rawhide to 0.34 (documentation update and fixes for Windows), adding buildreqs and reqs for perl(Config), perl(Encode), perl(HTTP::Request) and perl(HTTP::Status) for completeness

Local Packages

New package libtidyp (0.99), a fork of tidy needed for HTML::Tidy 1.50
Updated perl-HTML-Tidy to 1.50 and managed to patch around the issues that had prevented HTML::Tidy > 1.06 building successfully with perl releases prior to 5.8.5, albeit having to skip the unicode test with perl 5.8.0; I was thus able to drop the perl-HTML-Tidy version 1.06 package that I'd retained for older distributions
Updated perl-MLBBM to 2.02 (new tests added, distribution upgraded); the test suite failed on some old distributions:

t/storable.t ......... ok
You tried to plan twice at t/storable_dbfile.t line 10.
# Looks like your test exited with 2 before it could output anything.
t/storable_dbfile.t .. 
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

This patch got it working again:

I reported the problem and submitted the patch upstream in CPAN RT#54911
Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.26 (updated for 5.11.5)
Rebuilt xv and xxdiff to fix dist tag for devel branch builds
