Fedora Project

  • Built more of my packages for EPEL-6: libpng10, milter-regex, mod_fcgid, perl-Class-Loader, perl-Data-Buffer, perl-Date-Simple, perl-Digest-MD2, perl-Digest-MD4, perl-IO-Multiplex, perl-Jcode

  • My perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma package passed review and was built for F-13 and F-14

  • Updated perl-Math-GMP to not clobber ~/.gnupg during the build process (the signature test uses gpg) and built the new package for EPEL-6 and F-14

  • I raised Bug #590700 to ask why aspell is present in RHEL-6 Beta but none of the dictionaries are, so it's not possible to actually use it to check any spellings. The answer is that aspell is used during the process of building the hunspell dictionaries, and that's all it's needed for in RHEL-6, which has been migrated over to hunspell. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a usable perl binding for hunspell; I spent a while wrestling with Text::Hunspell trying to get it build and link correctly and when I had, it segfaulted as soon as I tried to check a word, which was disappointing. Unless aspell-en is added in EPEL-6, many of the perl spell-check modules such as Test-Spelling, Text::Aspell and Text::SpellChecker are going to be unusable.

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime::TimeZone to 1.19:

    • This release is based on version 2010j of the Olson database
    • Create a new zone for Mexico (America/Bahia_Banderas)

    • Dateline time zone on Win32 now always maps to a fixed -12:00 zone
  • Updated perl-Perl-Critic to 1.106 (NamingConventions::Capitalization fix for PPI 1.212 - CPAN RT #57348) and added new buildreqs/reqs perl(Email::Address) and perl(Test::Perl::Critic), which I didn't have at the time of the previous build

  • Rebuilt a bunch of packages for RHEL-6 Beta: perl-Algorithm-C3, perl-Class-C3-XS, perl-Class-C3, perl-Data-Section, perl-Email-Address, perl-MRO-Compat, perl-Mixin-Linewise, perl-Module-Build, perl-Pod-Coverage-TrustPod, perl-Pod-Eventual, perl-Pod-Readme, perl-Regexp-Common, perl-Software-License, perl-Sub-Name, perl-Test-Perl-Critic, perl-Test-Portability-Files, perl-Text-Template
