Fedora Project

The EPEL-6 buildroot was updated build on RHEL 6.0 GA as opposed to the last beta, so I was finally able to:

  • Build perl-Text-Hunspell for EPEL-6, previously blocked by hunspell-en being missing from the distribution (Bug #636763)

  • Build perl-Email-Send for EPEL-6 (Bug #626218), previously blocked by perl-MIME-tools only being available in RHEL-6 Workstation and not RHEL-6 Server

  • Update perl-Text-SpellChecker to 0.08 in EPEL-6 and set it to use hunspell rather than aspell as the back-end, which was waiting on perl-Text-Hunspell availability

  • Rebuild perl-Math-GMP with the new perl-Text-SpellChecker, adding a patch to handle words not in the EL-6 hunspell-en dictionary

  • Rebuild perl-Net-SSH-Perl with the new perl-Text-SpellChecker, adding a patch to handle words not in the EL-6 hunspell-en dictionary

Local Packages

  • Updated curl to not send QUIT to a dead FTP control connection (Bug #650255) and to pull back glibc's implementation of str[n]casecmp() since Bug #626470 appears fixed
