Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Package-DeprecationManager in Rawhide and EPEL-6 to 0.09:

    • Added a compilation test
  • Updated perl-Test-EOL to not assume that tested files are UTF-8 encoded (CPAN RT#59877), as this was causing the test suite of DateTime::Format::Strptime to fail

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.5000 and added Test::Kwalitee as a buildreq where available (i.e. from F-9)

    • Module did not recognize UTC as a valid time zone (CPAN RT#59209)

  • Updated perl-Package-DeprecationManager to 0.09 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test-EOL as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-version to 0.83:

    • Install into correct post-@INC reordering location (site rather than core)

    • Build correctly with Perl releases in the 5.9.{3..5} and 5.11.{0..4} ranges
    • Merge changes from bleadperl
    • Change vverify API and simplify usage

    • Fix up support for non-magical v-strings in 5.6.2-5.8.0
    • XS code finally passes on all supported Perl releases!
