Fedora Project

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.12 in Rawhide, F-14 and EL-6:

    • Fix for --disable-tcl or systems that do not have Tcl installed

    • Add support for process and transaction filters in MinGW
    • Add support for Open New Window to MinGW

Local Packages

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.12 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-DBM-Deep to 2.0002:

    • Error messages from DBM::Deep now use the caller's file name; they used incorrectly to use the name of the program ($0)

    • begin_work now checks correctly to see whether the new transaction exceeds the number the file was created to support; sometimes it would allow a few more transactions, and then proceed to corrupt the database (CPAN RT#60903)

    • The description of the file header in DBM::Deep::Internals has been brought up to date

  • Updated perl-Email-Address to 1.892 (revert all behaviour to 1.889), dropping the perl 5.10.0 requirement that is no longer needed

  • Updated perl-Filter-Simple to 0.85 (port changes from core: remove unnecessary PERL_CORE check from tests)

  • Updated perl-Module-Signature to 0.65 (skip MYMETA), adding a patch to fix operation with ExtUtils::Manifest versions 1.54 to 1.57 (submitted upstream at CPAN RT#61124)

  • Updated perl-Perl-Critic to 1.109 (ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars fix due to changes in Email::Address 1.890; note that this may find problems in code that it didn't before, e.g. q<'@foo'>)

  • Updated perl-YAML to 0.72:

    • Upgrade to Module::Install 1.00

    • Upgraded author tests via new ADAMK release automation
    • Normalise Ingy's name to ASCII in Makefile.PL so that we don't have Unicode in our own META.yml
