Fedora Project

  • Merged existing EL-6 branch of perl-Return-Value (1.666001-1) with Rawhide (no significant changes) and built it for EPEL-6; it's needed as a dependency of perl-Email-Send (Bug #626218)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Class-MOP to 1.05:

    • Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled
    • Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time

  • I had to patch t/003_methods.t to make the two newly-added subtests at the end into TODO tests as they fail with perl < 5.10.0: 

  • --- perl-Class-MOP/trunk/Class-MOP-1.05-broken-test-003.patch (added)

  • Updated perl-DBM-Deep to 2.0001:

    • Simply reading a hash or array element no longer causes autovivification, though dereferencing it does still; this makes DBM::Deep comply with Perl's behaviour - CPAN RT#60391

  • Updated perl-Email-Address to 1.890:

    • Allow domainless addresses if requested

  • I had to create a branch for the 1.889 version for releases with perl < 5.10.0 as this new version uses the branch reset pattern (?|) in a regex, which is new in perl 5.10.0; upstream plans to fix this in the next release, so the branch should be short-lived

  • Updated perl-IPC-Run3 to 0.044:

    • Ignore user-defined __DIE__ handler in _type

    • Added test for __DIE__ handler behaviour

  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.37:

    • Updated for 5.13.4

    • Remove 'Filespec' module (never in core, should have been 'VMS::Filespec')

  • Updated perl-Moose to 1.10, bumping the Class::MOP dependency to 1.05:

    • The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for rôle applications now issue a deprecation warning; use -alias and -excludes instead

    • Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults

    • default => undef now works properly

    • enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical

    • Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time

  • Updated perl-Software-License to 0.102340:

    • Add PostgreSQL
