==== Fedora Project ====

 * Cloned the EL-6 versions of [[RedHatBugzilla:620410|perl-Devel-Cycle]] (1.10-3.1.el6), [[RedHatBugzilla:620411|perl-Pod-Spell]] (1.01-6.1.el6), [[RedHatBugzilla:620421|perl-B-Keywords]] (1.09-3.1.el6), [[RedHatBugzilla:620413|perl-Test-Memory-Cycle]] (1.04-7.1.el6), [[RedHatBugzilla:620419|perl-Test-Spelling]] (0.11-5.1.el6), and [[RedHatBugzilla:620420|perl-String-Format]] (1.15-2.1.el6) and built them for EPEL-6 so that they are available for all EPEL-6 architectures (none of these packages are in EL-6 Beta 2 Refresh for `ppc64` for instance)
 * Actually the `perl-Test-Memory-Cycle` package wasn't a complete clone; its test suite requires `perl(CGI)` and this wasn't explicitly required in the source package, so the test suite failed. This problem hasn't cropped up in the past because `perl(CGI)` is bundled with the main `perl` package in Fedora but it's been split off into a separate package in EL-6 for some reason. I raised [[RedHatBugzilla:621089|Bug #621089]] about this, and added a build requirement of `perl(CGI)` for the EPEL-6 build so I could get it built (it won't affect the binary RPM)
 * Cloned the EL-6 version of [[RedHatBugzilla:620423|perl-Perl-Critic]] (1.105-2.el6) but didn't built it as it needs [[RedHatBugzilla:620416|perl-Exception-Class]] to be cloned and built first

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-YAML-Syck` to 1.11, adding a patch for the failing `t/yaml-tie.t` test on `perl` 5.8.8, which I raised upstream as [[CPAN:60064|CPAN RT#60064]]:
  * Test load of in-memory file handles
  * Perl 5.8 required to `YAML`-ify code refs
  * Perl 5.6 requires `{}` to print to a scalar `GLOB`
  * Use `SvNIOK` to test for `int` or `float` if we know it's not a string
  * Skip failing tie test on `perl` < 5.8.8 && `perl` >= 5.7.0x
  * Fix [[CPAN:23850|CPAN RT#23850]] - parse `META.yml` of `DateTime::Format::Japanese` 0.01
  * Fix [[CPAN:34073|CPAN RT#34073]] - `TODO` Tests - Parsing `YAML` without separator
  * Fix [[CPAN:20969|CPAN RT#20969]] - document `die` behaviour differences with `YAML`
  * Fix [[CPAN:23909|CPAN RT#23909]] - loaded self-referring document is corrupted
  * Fix [[CPAN:50227|CPAN RT#50227]] - logic bug in deciding what numbers to quote
  * Fix [[CPAN:59458|CPAN RT#59458]] - convert `\%d` to `\%ld` to prevent compiler warnings
  * Fix [[CPAN:50227|CPAN RT#50227]] - string quoting issue
  * Fix [[CPAN:48327|CPAN RT#48327]] - use 3-arg form of `open()`
  * Fix [[CPAN:59432|CPAN RT#59432]] - use lexical file handles for read/write to files
  * Fix [[CPAN:37236|CPAN RT#37236]] - re-enable `JSON`-basic tests for `JSON` >= 2.11
  * Fix [[CPAN:47944|CPAN RT#47944]] - backquote is a reserved character
  * Fix [[CPAN:36288|CPAN RT#36288]] - ability to disable blessing data structures on load
  * `LoadFile` aborts loading an empty file
  * Add `TODO` tests for noted deficiencies in CPAN RT #'s [[CPAN:26182|26182]], [[CPAN:54780|54780]], [[CPAN:49404|49404]], [[CPAN:42390|42390]]
  * Add `TODO` tests for [[CPAN:52432|CPAN RT#52432]] - '`... X`' breaks round trip
  * Tone down the `WARNING` section in `YAML::Syck`'s documentation added in 1.08
 * Updated `moin` (1.9.3) to work around MoinMoin:MoinMoinBugs/FindPage in which the FindPage page (specifically, the `<<AdvancedSearch>>` macro) generates this traceback on Fedora 13:

 . This occurs if there are non-ASCII characters in an `/etc/mime.types` entry, such as this:

 . The patch is very straightforward:
