Fedora Project

  • Rebuilt gtkwave for liblzma.so.5 in Rawhide

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for liblzma.so.5, patching out the subfilter constants - sub-block filters are not supported in xz 5.x (raised upstream as CPAN RT#62461)

Local Packages

  • New package perl-Test-Fatal (0.001)

  • Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime to 0.65:

    • All the constructors besides new() ended up calling new(), which meant that these constructors went through the parameter validation code twice; avoiding this should make everything that constructs a new object (besides new() itself) a little faster

    • The t/39no-so.t test failed for some people (CPAN RT#62061)

    • Added a section on the DateTime Project ecosystem to the docs (CPAN RT#60930)

    • Fixed wiki links in the docs now that the wiki has moved to a new wiki platform
    • Restored some of the dzil-ification; the repo now has a very minimal Build.PL file that is just enough to build the XS code and run the tests, which fixes the total lack of prerequisites in the META.* files (CPAN RT#62427)

  • and DateTime::TimeZone to 1.23:

    • Based on version 2010n of the Olson database, it includes updates for Fiji
  • I tried enabling the Kwalitee test but it failed (no README for instance) so I left that for now

  • Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.034:

    • Updated Lite::_xnew v1.20 to properly handle IPv6 notation of the form xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx, DDD

  • Updated perl-version to 0.85:

    • Don't ship MYMETA.yml file in distro

  • Updated xz to 5.0.0, which bumps the library soname to liblzma.so.5, so I introduced a compat-libs subpackage with liblzma.so.0 for compatibility with distributions using older releases (as per the Rawhide xz package) for the time being (this will probably be replaced by a separate compat package soon)

  • Rebuilt gtkwave for liblzma.so.5

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for liblzma.so.5, as per the Rawhide version
