Updated perl-Net-SSH-Perl in EPEL-6 to add buildreqs perl(Test::YAML::Meta), perl(Text::SpellChecker), and aspell-en and re-enable the spell check test in the test suite as these buildreqs are now available for EL-6 whilst they weren't when I first built the EL-6 package. However, I found to my horror that it failed to build due to a missing buildreq of perl(Perl::Critic), which is in EL-6 - but not on the ppc64 and s390x architectures, despite it being a noarch package, and my build just happened to get done on a ppc64 builder. It would seem that I'll need to rebuild the EL-6 perl-Perl-Critic package in EPEL to solve this problem, but there's a bunch of similar issues down the dependency chain.
Updated perl-PPI in F-14 to 1.213 as per yesterday's update in Rawhide; I had to wait for the new builds of perl-Test-CPAN-Meta and perl-Test-Pod to be tagged stable before I could do this

Raised EL-6 branch requests for perl-Devel-Cycle (Bug #620410), perl-Pod-Spell (Bug #620411), perl-Test-Memory-Cycle (Bug #620413), perl-Exception-Class (Bug #620416), perl-Test-Spelling (Bug #620419), perl-String-Format (Bug #620420), perl-B-Keywords (Bug #620421), and perl-Perl-Critic (Bug #620423). These are all packages already in EL-6 - but not on the ppc64 architecture, so we need to rebuild the EL-6 packages in EPEL for full architecture coverage. Rob Myers, EPEL maintainer for all of these packages except perl-Exception-Class, quickly offered me co-maintainership of his EPEL packages, which I took up.
Raised an EL-6 branch request for perl-MIME-Lite (Bug #620459), which was included in EL-6 as recently as Beta 2 but mysteriously dropped from the Beta 2 Refresh
Local Packages
Branched my repository for Fedora 14; the development repository is now targeting Fedora 15
Updated libidn to move the shared library from /usr/lib to /lib as per the Fedora package for F-9 and EL-6 onwards (Bug #283651); this was particularly necessary to avoid a broken dependency with guestfish
Updated perl-BerkeleyDB to 0.43:
- Changes to build with BDB 5.1
Dropped support for Server option when creating an environment
Documentation updates (CPAN RT#59202)
Fixed compilation error with MS Visual Studio 2005 (CPAN RT#59924)
Updated perl-Test-LeakTrace to 0.13:
Use ">= 0", instead of "== 0" for no_leaks_ok()
Add count_sv() to count all the SVs in a perl interpreter
Fix tests for older perls

Updated python-crypto to 2.2 in Rawhide and prepared an update for F-14:
Deprecated Crypto.Util.number.getRandomNumber(); it's been replaced by getRandomNBitInteger and getRandomInteger
Better isPrime() and getPrime() implementations
getStrongPrime() implementation for generating RSA primes
- Support for importing and exporting RSA keys in DER and PEM format
Fix PyCrypto when floor division (python -Qnew) is enabled
When building using gcc, use -std=c99 for compilation
Submitted a Review Request for my perl-PPIx-Utilities package, which will be needed to upgrade perl-Perl-Critic to 1.08; it was promptly reviewed by IainArnell and I was able to get it branched and built for Rawhide all in one day! The Fedora 14 build will have to wait until the perl-PPI 1.213 update is pushed to stable

Cloned the EL-6 versions of perl-Devel-Cycle (1.10-3.1.el6), perl-Pod-Spell (1.01-6.1.el6), perl-B-Keywords (1.09-3.1.el6), perl-Test-Memory-Cycle (1.04-7.1.el6), perl-Test-Spelling (0.11-5.1.el6), and 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 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 perl-Perl-Critic (1.105-2.el6) but didn't built it as it needs perl-Exception-Class to be cloned and built first

Updated moin (1.9.3) to work around MoinMoinBugs/FindPage in which the FindPage page (specifically, the <<AdvancedSearch>> macro) generates this traceback on Fedora 13:

I came across a problem with the test suite on RHL-9 (and only RHL-9) where it was unable to find ./libtest/.libs/libhostname.so on some (but not all) occasions, resulting in the failure of three NTLM test cases; I was unable to pin down the reason for it but changing the relative path to an absolute one by substituting $(pwd) for . resolved the issue

_slowmath: compute RSA u parameter when it's not given to RSA.construct; this makes _slowmath behave the same as _fastmath in this regard
Make RSA.generate raise a more user-friendly exception message when the user tries to generate a bogus-length key
Unusually, the upstream tarball doesn't contain a top-level directory this time so I had to use the -c option to %setup to get the directory created for me in %prep

The test suite changed a bit, so I added buildreqs perl(Test::EOL), perl(Test::NoTabs), perl(Test::Spelling) and aspell-en where possible, a patch to cope with the possible absence of perl(Test::Spelling) and another patch to cope with distributions having Test::More < 0.88
Updated perl-Moose to 1.12, adding a buildreq of perl(Test::Requires) where possible and patching out the need for it elsewhere:
An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is"
Deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their code
mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method, which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x
Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent constraints did not have any coercions; this bogus coercion always returned undef, which meant that a union that included Undef as a member always coerced bad values to undef (CPAN RT#58411)
Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to undef (unintentionally); now, if all the coercions for a union type fail, the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted to coerce
Fix the MANIFEST (CPAN RT#60831)
