 * Updated `getmail` to fix this traceback due to a missing import of the regex library:

 . I did of course report the issue and send the patch upstream
 * Updated `perl-Archive-Tar` to 1.62 (partly address problem with exit status of `Archive::Tar->extract_archive()` - [[RedHatBugzilla:606813|Bug #606813]], [[CPAN:58636|CPAN RT#58636]])
 * Updated `perl-DateTime` to 0.58, adding buildreqs `Test::NoTabs`, `Test::EOL`, `Test::Spelling` and `aspell-en` and enabling `RELEASE_TESTING` for higher test coverage, and adding my own perl-provides script as the default one prior to Fedora 7 was unable to extract them properly, causing broken dependencies for packages using `DateTime`:
  * Make `DateTime::LeapSecond` have the same `$VERSION` as every other `.pm` file
  * The `set_formatter()` method did not return the `DateTime` object, and did not actually validate the value provided for the formatter ([[CPAN:58506|CPAN RT#58506]])
  * Improved docs on `floating` time zone ([[CPAN:56389|CPAN RT#56389]])
  * Mention of end-of-month algorithms in docs on `DateTime` math ([[CPAN:58533|CPAN RT#58533]])
  * License is now Artistic 2.0
 * Updated `perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime` to 1.4000 (actually update `$VERSION` in module file)
 * Updated `perl-Exception-Class` to 1.32 (removed `Test::Most` dependency, which was causing a circular dependency chain - [[CPAN:58889|CPAN RT#58889]])
 * Updated `perl-Test-Differences` to 0.500, adding buildreqs `perl(Test::Pod)` and `perl(Test::Pod::Coverage)` for extra test cover:
  * Add support for all `diff` styles supplied by `Text::Diff` ([[CPAN:23579|CPAN RT#23579]])
  * Add `Build.PL`
  * Convert to universally use `Test::More` instead of `Test`
  * Convert to modern Perl distribution.
  * Applied doc suggestion from [[CPAN:24297|CPAN RT#24297]]
  * Fix the `{ a => 1 }` versus `{ a => '1' }` bug ([[CPAN:3029|CPAN RT#3029]])
