Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot (2.0) to 2.0.rc1:

    • added man pages, mostly written by Pascal Volk
    • dsync syntax changed, although it's still compatible with old syntax

    • dsync backup command added

    • dsync should now be stable

    • LMTP proxying supports director

    • director should now be stable

    • single-dbox should now be stable

    • mdbox locking behaviour modified to avoid deadlocks

    • fsync_disable=no was renamed to mail_fsync = optimized (default)

    • fsync_disable=yes was renamed to mail_fsync = never

    • added a new mail_fsync = always

  • Updated gnome-libs to drop the automake dependency from the devel package from Fedora 14, where %{_datadir}/aclocal is part of the filesystem package, drop the manual pkgconfig dependency from the devel package from Fedora 11, where this dependency is auto-detected, and use xdg-open rather than htmlview for EL-6 onwards

  • Updated java-1.6.0-sun (see SunJava6OnFedora) to use libnpjp2.so as the browser plug-in for all architectures since the old libjavaplugin_oji.so doesn't work any more, at least in Fedora 13; this is because libnpjp2.so is required for Firefox 3.6 onwards

  • Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime to 0.60 (by default, Dist::Zilla generates a Build.PL that requires Module::Build ≥ 0.3601 but this distro really doesn't need any particular version)

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS to 2.2206:

  • Updated the python-twisted stack to 10.1.0 for releases with python ≥ 2.4, sticking with 10.0.0 for older releases since 10.1.0 requires python ≥ 2.4

  • Included wxGTK (2.8.10) in the EL-6 repository since it's been dropped from EL-6 in Beta 2 and it was needed by compat-wxGTK26

Fedora Project

  • Updated gnome-libs as per the local package
