Local Packages
Updated getmail to 4.17.0 (change to how getmail counts messages in an IMAP mailbox; prevents problems where getmail would only see the first 500 messages in a mailbox with some IMAP servers that return oddball responses to SELECT)
Monday 3rd May 2010
Local Packages
Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma to 2.028, dropping the patch for CPAN RT#57080, which is no longer needed
Remove 'Persistent' option from Lzma::Filter::Lzma (CPAN RT#57080)
- Silence a pile of compiler warnings
Updated perl-Moose to 1.02:
Fix natatime method when called with a callback
Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs
Fix is_subtype_of behaviour for Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests
- Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instance
Updated perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu to 1.20:
- Copy environment to avoid segfaults on some systems e.g. FreeBSD
- Skip the test of rl_readline_version for GNU Readline Library 6.1
- readline-6.1 support: (func rl_free_keymap, var rl_filename_rewrite_hook)
Unfortunately I had to revert the environment segfault fix for most distributions, since it doesn't even compile with perl < 5.8.6 due to its use of PL_use_safe_putenv, and it failed differently (similar to this FreeBSD report) with perl 5.10.0 on Fedora 9 though 5.10.0 on Fedora 10 was OK; so, for perl versions prior to 5.10.1 I used the old patch for 1.19 instead
Tuesday 4th May 2010
Fedora Project
Updated gtkwave to 3.3.6 in Rawhide, adding a desktop entry for it to appear in the menu and icons (both based on the ones in the Mandriva package)
Took ownership of perl-Module-Signature in EPEL, orphaned by PatriceDumas
Local Packages
Updated davfs to 1.4.6 and tidied up the package description (e.g. fixing typos):
Add missing sys/stat.h (bug #28916)
Fix wrong assignment of password from pam_mount (bug #28706)
Updated gtkwave to 3.3.6 as per the Fedora package
Updated nmap to add a spec file comment about why I don't use 'find_lang nmap --with-man' to find manpage translations as per the Fedora package (it doesn't work prior to Fedora 9) and to update the icon cache scriptlets to the current Fedora standard
Wednesday 5th May 2010
Fedora Project
Updated perl-Module-Signature to 0.63 in EPEL-4 and EPEL-5 (changes the default key server from the outdated pgp.mit.edu to pool.sks-keyservers.net)
Local Packages
Updated dovecot (and pigeonhole) (2.0) to 20100505 snapshot:
mdbox: avoid rebuilding storage if another process already did it

Thursday 6th May 2010
Fedora Project
Submitted review requests for perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma and perl-IO-Compress-Lzma
Local Packages
Updated perl-Class-MOP to 1.01:
is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow specifying a minimum required version
the __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if it's not)
Updated perl-Moose to 1.03, bumping the Class::MOP version requirement to 1.01
- allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying roles
Friday 7th May 2010
Local Packages
I made a start on creating a repository for RHEL-6 versions of my packages, built on the public beta release. Spent the morning adding suitable configs to my buildsystem and scripts, and the afternoon building a small core of packages that could satisfy all of their interdependencies. As some of the legacy packages I build upon have been dropped from RHEL-6, I've needed to introduce my own versions of them.
New package glib (1.2.10)
New package gtk+ (1.2.10)
New package ORBit (0.5.17)
Updated perl-MIME-tools to only BR: perl(Test::Kwalitee) for Fedora builds as I've no plan to add this locally in the near future
Monday 10th May 2010
Fedora Project
Made a start at building my EPEL packages for EL-6: glib, gtk+, perl-Module-Signature
Local Packages
Added package aspell-en for EL-6 as the beta release contains aspell but not any of the dictionaries (I queried this in Bug #590700)
Updated ORBit to remove redundant dependencies of devel package on pkgconfig (not needed from F-11, EL-6) and %{_datadir}/aclocal (included in filesystem package from F-14), and to add BR: glibc-static for EL-6 onwards
Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma to 2.029 (test harness copes with memory shortage)
Updated perl-Module-Signature to 0.64, fixed the build process to avoid the need to use ~/.gnupg
Avoid creating gnupg config files when invoking Makefile.PL (CPAN RT#41978)
Correctly detect the gnupg version on cygwin (CPAN RT#39258)
Updated perl-PPI to 1.212:
Fixed bug in ForLoop back-compatibility warning (CPAN RT#48819)
Added support for $ENV{X_TOKENIZER} --> $PPI::Lexer::X_TOKENIZER
Upgraded to Module::Install 0.93
Added support for $PPI::Lexer::X_TOKENIZER, for alternate tokenizers
- Added an extra test case to validate we handle byte order marks properly
Moved author tests from t to xt
Fixed CPAN RT#26082: scalar { %x } is mis-parsed
Fixed CPAN RT#26591: VMS patch for PPI 1.118
Fixed CPAN RT#44862: PPI cannot parse "package Foo::100;" correctly
Fixed CPAN RT#54208: PPI::Token::Quote::Literal::literal missing
Updated perl-Perl-Critic to add a patch to un-break the test suite with PPI ≥ 1.212 (CPAN RT#57348)
Updated perl-Perl-MinimumVersion from svn for issues with 5.12.0 version objects
Updated perl-Test-Builder-Tester to use current dist tag macros
Updated tidyp to 1.02
- metatag check fixed
missing files for "make check" included
Rebuilt perl-HTML-Tidy for libtidyp 1.02
Rebuilt perl-File-Find-Rule, perl-List-MoreUtils for RHEL-6 Beta
Tuesday 11th May 2010
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

Patched perl-HTTP-SimpleLinkChecker so that t/403.t doesn't fail (I had to create a special URL on my own server to replicate the behaviour that was expected of a URL at google in the original test - raised as CPAN RT#57584)
More rebuilds for RHEL-6: perl-ConfigReader-Simple, perl-HTML-Lint, perl-HTML-SimpleLinkExtor, perl-HTTP-Size, perl-Mail-Sendmail, perl-Test-File, perl-Test-Manifest, unrar, weblint++, weblint

Local Packages
Updated imlib as per Fedora version
Rebuilt perl-BerkeleyDB for Berkeley DB 4.8.30 in Rawhide, adding a hard-coded Berkeley DB dependency so that problems like Bug #592209 show up quickly as a broken dependency if Berkeley DB is updated
Updated perl-Class-C3 to drop the dependencies on Algorithm::C3 and Class::C3::XS on distributions with perl later than 5.9.5 where MRO is in the perl core, and to add c3.pm in @INC rather than just documentation

Updated perl-Scope-Guard to 0.20 (raise exception if guards are created anonymously (void context))
Updated sendmail to add RHEL-6 build support, and to build against db4 again in Rawhide (rather than compat-db-4.7), which now has db4 4.8.30 (see Bug #556148)

Fedora Project
Raised Bug #593307 to try to get the pointless bacula-sysconfdir package merged back into the bacula-common package

Signature test dropped upstream, so Module::Signature not needed as buildreq, and no need to go to great lengths to avoid clobbering ~/.gnupg
Recode README and Changes.pod as UTF8
Run tests in "C" locale to avoid Module::Build's inability to find perl in the test suite on older distributions
Local Packages

Local Packages
Updated contagged to 0.7.2 (added country support - note that ldapab.schema is updated)

Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing
Updated perl-IO-Socket-INET6 to 2.62 adding a workaround patch for a test failure in t/io_multihomed6.t that only manifested on Fedora 10 but at least affected someone else on cpantesters (see CPAN RT#57676):

Updated perl-HTTP-SimpleLinkChecker to 1.16 (fix 403 status test - CPAN RT#57584), dropping my patch for that issue, which is no longer needed
Updated perl-YAML-Syck to 1.08:
POD link to JSON::XS from JSON::Syck

Add homepage, bugtracker, and repository metadata to META.yml
Bump perl dependency from 5.00307 to 5.006
This build failed for distributions with perl < 5.10.0, like this:
Can't locate object method "again" via package "FindBin" at inc/Module/Install.pm line 233.
The again method was added to FindBin in perl 5.9.1 so I'm surprised that this isn't causing more widespread problems for users of Module::Install (the cpantesters results suggest that Module::Install itself passes its test suite on earlier perl versions, which is a bit strange). The following patch worked around the issue:
