Updated perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser to fix warning messages when used with perl 5.12.0:
"Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::OLDSTDERR" used only once: possible typo at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Mbox/MessageParser.pm line 297.
This warning was causing the test suite for grepmail to fail, so I raised CPAN RT#58053 about it
Built grepmail for perl 5.12.0 in Rawhide

Updated perl-DBM-Deep to 1.0024, and updated the patch for old Test::More versions:
Stale references now compare equal to undef, "" and 0

Updated perl-Crypt-DSA to fix its META.yml that claimed it would work with perl 5.005 onwards, which isn't true due to the use of a 3-argument open in Crypt::DSA::KeyChain, as pointed out by current versions of Perl::MinimumVersion (Bug #600012) - raised upstream as CPAN RT#58094

IPv6 Connectivity
I'm having a go at setting up IPV6 connectivity for my home network, but I'm not going to go into any detail on it at the moment as I don't really know what I'm doing and I wouldn't want to publish bad information.
What I can say though is that I was quickly and easily able to get an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel established via Hurricane Electric's excellent free Tunnel Broker service with no waiting around for ages, and I'm basically following Wolfgang S. Rupprecht's Fedora IPv6 Static Tunnel Guide, except using shorewall6 to handle routing and firewalling rather than tweaks to /etc/sysconfig/network and ip6tables.

Kudos to Kustom PCs
Recently I have been having trouble with my i7 desktop/server box overheating. When I first built it, the sensors output looked like this:

In the last week or so, temperatures went up significantly, so much so in fact that the on-board temperature alarm had been going off when the machine is busy:

The reason would appear to be that the CPU fan was going at less than half the speed it had been originally, and never sped up even when the CPU was very hot. So the first thing I did was to clean out the inside of the machine, get rid of all of the dust, unplug and reconnect the CPU fan etc. It made not a jot of difference. I figured one of two things were wrong: either the CPU fan was faulty or the motherboard (a Gigabyte EX58-UD5) was making it run too slowly. Given that the former has moving parts and the latter doesn't, I thought the CPU fan was the most likely culprit. The CPU was bought retail from Kustom PCs in Ayr - they had the best price at the time I bought it and the CPU cooler came with the CPU. I had purchased the motherboard elsewhere. I emailed their Technical Support and quickly got a response back from Graeme, who was going to check what speed the stock cooler ran on a machine there. He found that it should indeed be running faster and mailed me a replacement cooler the next working day. Today I changed the cooler (a fiddly job since I had to extract the motherboard from the case in order to be able to safely apply enough pressure on the cooler retaining clips to get them to go in properly) and the new fan ran at the expected speed:

So, kudos to Kustom PCs for their excellent customer service. I will have no hesitation in buying from them again. They didn't want the faulty cooler back either by the way.

Updated perl-BerkeleyDB to build against libdb (Berkeley DB version 5) in Rawhide rather than db4
Updated perl-Sendmail-AccessDB to support build with libdb (db5) in Fedora 14 onwards, and to add a patch to remove deprecation warnings with perl 5.12 onwards:
The locked attribute for subroutines results in deprecation warnings in 5.12 and has had no effect since 5.10.

Finally got round to debugging a segfault in gtorrentviewer (Bug #542502 and Bug #572806), which turned out to be straightforward as one of the bug reporters took the trouble to provide a reliable reproducer of the bug; in the end it was the simple matter of a GValue being declared as a local variable in a function and not initialized to zero before use, resulting in this stack trace:

Updated gtkwave to 3.3.8 in Rawhide:
add failure check on tempfile creation in fstReaderInit()
addstrace_repeat_count and an appropriate menu option
add drag-and-drop of signals from gtkwave into rtlbrowse
remove the "/File/Quit/Don't Quit" menu item if "fast exit" is enabled
- more warnings clean-ups

Local Packages
New package perl-Data-Dumper-Names (0.03)
New package perl-PadWalker (1.9)
New package perl-Test-Differences (0.4801)
New package perl-Test-Most (0.21 for Fedora 9 onwards, 0.11 for Fedora 5 to Fedora 8)
Updated curl to add support for NTLM authentication with NSS, as per the Rawhide package (Bug #603783)
Updated dovecot (and pigeonhole) to 20100626 build:
moved disable_plaintext_auth to 10-auth.conf
mdbox: fixed assert-crash on storage rebuild if file got lost
lib-charset: don't assert-crash when iconv() skips lots of invalid input
master: fixed crash on deinit (maybe also on reload)
Updated getmail to 4.18.0
- update broken link in FAQ
strip a few extra problematic characters when generating oldmail filenames
improve diagnostics for external programs writing to stderr
Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.3000 (changed license to Artistic 2.0, fixed bug where specifiers such as %e that allowed for leading space before a number would previously cause DateTime.pm to throw an error if the date being parsed actually contained leading space - CPAN RT#58459); I also added buildreqs Test::EOL, Test::NoTabs, Test::Pod, Test::Pod::Coverage, and Test::Spelling and enabled AUTHOR_TESTING and RELEASE_TESTING for higher test coverage and added patches to support building with ExtUtils::MakeMaker < 6.31 and to get the spell check test working reliably
Updated perl-Exception-Class to 1.31 (changed license to Artistic 2.0, made it possible to use Exception::Class::Base without loading Exception::Class - CPAN RT#57269); I also added buildreqs Test::EOL and Test::NoTabs for higher test coverage and added a patch to support building with ExtUtils::MakeMaker < 6.31
Updated perl-Net-CIDR to 0.14:
- corrected some documentation errors
cidrvalidate() will validate either an IP address or a CIDR
re-implemented addr2cidr without Math::BigInt, which is much faster for IPv6 addresses

Updated perl-Archive-Tar to 1.62 (partly address problem with exit status of Archive::Tar->extract_archive() - Bug #606813, CPAN RT#58636)

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 RT#58506)
Improved docs on floating time zone (CPAN RT#56389)
Mention of end-of-month algorithms in docs on DateTime math (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 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 RT#23579)
Add Build.PL
Convert to universally use Test::More instead of Test
- Convert to modern Perl distribution.
Applied doc suggestion from CPAN RT#24297
Fix the { a => 1 } versus { a => '1' } bug (CPAN RT#3029)
