Fedora Project
Updated gtkwave to 3.3.9 in Rawhide; I had to disable parallel build because of a race condition whilst making vermin:
changed accelerator for Quit to conform to Gnome guidelines
fix crash that can occur in RemoveTrace
Raised Bug #612139 requesting that perl-BerkeleyDB be built against libdb (Berkeley DB 5.0.x) in Rawhide and offering to co-maintain the package
Raised Bug #612155 requesting that Judy be updated to 1.0.5 and branched for EPEL, and also offering to co-maintain the package
Became co-maintainer of pari and updated it to fix the xdvi dependency problem by applying a patch to get it to use xdg-open instead and require mimehandler(application/x-dvi) in the pari-gp package rather than the main pari package (Bug #530565)
Local Packages
Updated dovecot and pigeonhole to their 20100707 snapshots
Updated gtkwave as per the Fedora package
Rebuilt perl-BerkeleyDB for Berkeley DB 5.0.26 in Rawhide
Updated perl-PPI to 1.213:
Updated to Module::Install 1.00
Updated module dependencies in xt author tests
Fixed extremely broken PPI::Token::Pod::merge and added test case
I had to update my patch to support building with Test::More < 0.86 and create a new patch for building with Perl::MinimumVersion 1.20 for older releases, cater for the maintainer tests being moved to the xt/ directory, and add new buildreqs perl(File::Find::Rule) ≥ 0.32, perl(File::Find::Rule::Perl) ≥ 1.09, perl(Perl::MinimumVersion) ≥ 1.20 and perl(Test::MinimumVersion) ≥ 0.101080 for the release tests
