Fedora Project

• Updated mod_fcgid to add /etc/tmpfiles.d/mod_fcgid.conf for builds on Fedora 15 onwards to create /var/run/mod_fcgid at boot time and thus support running with /var/run on tmpfs (Bug #656625)

• Updated proftpd to add /etc/tmpfiles.d/proftpd.conf for builds on Fedora 15 onwards to create /var/run/proftpd at boot time and hence support running with /var/run on tmpfs on Fedora 15 onwards (Bug #656675)

Local Packages

• Updated mod_fcgid as per the Fedora version

• Updated ppp to add /etc/tmpfiles.d/ppp.conf to create /var/run/ppp at boot time and thus support operation with /var/run on tmpfs in Fedora 15 onwards (Bug #656671)

• Updated proftpd as per the Fedora version

Thursday 2nd December 2010

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-PPIx-Utilities to 1.001000 in Rawhide:

Local Packages

• Updated perl-Devel-GlobalDestruction to 0.03:

  • Drop the XS code on perl versions recent enough to have ${^GLOBAL_PHASE} (5.13.7 onwards)

  • Require at least Perl 5.6:

Friday 3rd December 2010

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Email-MIME to 1.906 in Rawhide (needed for bugzilla 4.x), obsoleting perl-Email-MIME-Creator and perl-Email-MIME-Modifier, which were merged into Email::MIME version 1.900

Sunday 5th December 2010

Local Packages

• Updated contagged to fix the Edit template, which was broken when used with Smarty 3.x:

Monday 6th December 2010

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL in Rawhide to 1.35:

  • If verify_mode is not VERIFY_NONE and the ca_file/ca_path cannot be verified as valid, it will no longer fall back to VERIFY_NONE but throw an error (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606058)

• IainArnell kindly reviewed and approved my perl-Package-Stash-XS submission and I then built it for F13, F14, Rawhide, EPEL4, and EPEL6; the EPEL5 build is waiting on perl(Pod::Coverage::TrustPod), which is currently making its way through the testing process

Local Packages

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.35 as per the Fedora version

Tuesday 7th December 2010

PPTP Client Project

• Built upstream repositories for Fedora 14 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

• Dropped support for yum repositories for ancient end-of-lifed distributions Red Hat Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, and Fedora Core releases 1 and 2

Local Packages

• Updated dovecot to 2.0.8 (and pigeonhole to 0.2.2 release), adding systemd activation from Fedora 15 onwards:

  • Services' default vsz_limits weren't being enforced correctly in earlier v2.0 releases; now that they are enforced, you might notice that the default limits are too low and you need to increase them - this problem will show up in logs as "out of memory" errors (see default_vsz_limit and service { vsz_limit } settings)

  • LMTP: In earlier versions if mail was delivered to user+detail@domain address, LMTP server always attempted to deliver the mail to mailbox named "detail"; this was rather unintentional and shouldn't have been the default - lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes setting now preserves this behaviour (default is no)

  • Added systemd support (configure --with-systemdsystemunitdir)

  • Replaced broken mbox-snarf plugin with a new more generic snarf plugin

  • dbox: Fixes to handling external mail attachments

  • verbose_proctitle=yes didn't work for all processes in v2.0.7

  • imap, pop3: When service { client_count } was larger than 1, the log messages didn't use the correct prefix - last logged in user's prefix was always used, regardless of which user's session actually logged it; now the proper log prefix is always used

  • MySQL: Only the first specified host was ever used

Wednesday 8th December 2010

Local Packages

• Updated java-1.6.0-sun to include time zone updates from tzupdater 1.3.34-2010o (see SunJava6OnFedora)

• New package perl-Locale-Maketext-Lexicon (0.82)

• New package perl-Locale-Maketext-Simple (0.18)

• Updated perl-List-MoreUtils to 0.29:

  • Refactored the split test scripts into a common test module to be shared between both the Perl and XS versions

  • Re-applied fix for CPAN RT#39847 "minmax error: unpredictable results with lists of 1 element"

  • Reduced test suite peak memory consumption by 5-10 megabytes

  • Added the 'distinct' alias for the uniq function, for people that like their chained map/grep/sort pipelines with a SQL'ish flavour

  • Expanded test suite for the any() group of functions

  • The any() group of functions now strictly always return scalar boolean true, false and undef to match the XS version

  • General house cleaning

  • The behaviour of any/all/none/notall has changed when passed a null list to treat a null list as a legitimate list (CPAN RT#40905)

  • Disabled the leaking XS versions of part(), apply() and indexes()

  • Restored the regression test for CPAN RT#38630 from 0.23

  • Added uniq warning tests, disabled initially

Thursday 9th December 2010

Fedora Project

  • Update documentation for SSL_verify_callback based on CPAN RT#63740 and CPAN RT#63743

• Updated smbldap-tools to 0.9.6 in all releases, dropping dependencies on openldap-servers (default configuration does not require /usr/sbin/slappasswd - Bug #609056) and samba-common (default configuration does not require /usr/bin/smbpasswd):

  • New tool: smbldap-grouplist (list LDAP groups)

  • smbldap-useradd, smbldap-usershow, smbldap-usermod:

    • Change default encoding of givenName and sn to UTF-8 (bug #11717)

    • New option: -X (input/output encoding, defaults to UTF-8)

    • New option: -O (localMailAddress attribute)

    • Changed option: -M (now sets only mail attribute)

    • Home directory is now chown-ed as $userUidNumber:$userGidNumber to avoid race conditions (bug #11721)

    • Use gecos as displayName if givenName and userSN not provided (bug #14517)

  • smbldap-passwd:

    • New option: -p (allow root to set password from STDIN without verification, e.g. using a pipe) (bug #11964)

    • Change userPassword, shadowLastChange and shadowMax individually e.g. no shadow class or user may not have rights (bug #15052)

  • smbldap-groupmod: allow deletion of users from groups without a defined samba group SID)

  • Removed references to smbldap_conf.pm (which should be smbldap.conf)

  • Fixed -Z option in smbldap-useradd (custom LDAP attribute) (fixes Bug #590429)

  • Alphabetically reorganized options

  • Fixed several mis-spellings and typos in smbldap-useradd

Local Packages

• New package perl-IPC-Cmd (0.66)

  • Replace uint32_t with unsigned int to fix broken builds on a couple of platforms

  • Fix lookup with HOSTALIASES set

  • Fix NAPTR parsing in adig

  • Compiler warning clean-ups

• Updated perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder to 0.2801, bumping Epoch to 1 as per the Fedora package and adding new build and runtime requirement perl(IPC::Cmd):

  • Code base modernization and substantial code coverage improvements

  • Rely on File::Temp::tempfile and File::Spec::tmpdir to get unique file name for checking for compiler

  • Handle C compiler and C++ compiler separately

  • Tests no longer fail if user has set the CC environment variable

  • Fix Win32 split_like_shell escaping

  • Fix t/02-link.t on perl < 5.8

  • Preserve exit status on VMS

  • Fix spurious t/04-base.t failure when run from Perl core

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.36 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-Locale-Maketext-Simple to 0.21:

  • Add ability to have the IANA defined i-default language as a fall-back when arbitrary message keys rather than English phrases are being used

Friday 10th December 2010

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-File-Comments to 0.08 in Rawhide and EPEL-6:

  • Adapt to HTML::Element ≥ 4 change that omits the trailing newline in generated HTML (CPAN RT#63788)

• This resolves a failure to build from source issue in Rawhide (Bug #661088); upstream merged my patch fixing the problem

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.37 in Rawhide:

  • Don't complain about invalid certificate locations if user explicitly set SSL_ca_path and SSL_ca_file to undef: assume that user knows what they are doing and will work around the problems themselves (CPAN RT#63741)

• Updated proftpd in Rawhide to update mod_vroot to 0.9 (improvements to alias handling); note that contrary to the previous release, the source of an alias must be an absolute path and the destination a relative path in the virtual root, which breaks the previous default configuration - the VRootAlias line in proftpd.conf must be changed to work with this release:

• -VRootAlias                     etc/security/pam_env.conf /etc/security/pam_env.conf
  +VRootAlias                     /etc/security/pam_env.conf etc/security/pam_env.conf

• Updated spambayes in Fedora 14 and Rawhide to fix a missing python-lockfile dependency (Bug #661942)

Local Packages

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.37 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-Locale-Maketext-Lexicon to 0.83:

  • Remove the local $@ when loading PO files, which made it difficult to debug errors when loading PO's (CPAN RT#63722)

• Updated perl-Pod-Readme to 0.11, changing from a Build.PL flow to a Makefile.PL flow as Build.PL was dropped from the upstream release:

  • Recognise the =encoding directive, rather than dying when it's encountered

  • TODO: actually take heed of it

• Updated perl-Test-Most to add explicit requires for perl(Test::Deep), perl(Test::Differences), perl(Test::Exception) and perl(Test::Warn) that are no longer automatically detected

• Updated perl-version to 0.87:

  • Remove support for Build.PL to keep from introducing circular dependencies

• Updated proftpd as per the Fedora version

• Updated smbldap-tools as per yesterday's update in Fedora

Sunday 12th December 2010

Local Packages

• Updated perl-Digest-SHA update to 5.49

  • Incorporated another t/04-base.t fix from bleadperl

• Updated perl-Software-License to 0.102341

  • Fix a one-byte-past-end-write buffer overflow in UURepairData

  • Quoted-printable decoding was completely broken; try a fix

• Updated perl-Digest-SHA to 5.50:

  • Adopted convention that '-' always means STDIN; actual filename '-' accessed as './-' (accords with behaviour of sha1sum/md5sum)

  • Corrected undefined subroutine oversight in shasum (inadvertent migration of _bail() from SHA.pm)

• Updated perl-Perl-Critic to 1.111:

  • Work around change in List::MoreUtils 0.28 that broke ProhibitNoStrict and ProhibitNoWarnings (CPAN RT#63816)

Thursday 16th December 2010

Fedora Project

  • Lots of compiler warning fixes

  • ssh: fix a download resume point calculation

  • Fix getinfo CURLINFO_LOCAL* for reused connections

  • multi: the returned running handles counter could turn negative

  • multi: only ever consider pipelining for connections doing HTTP(S)

Local Packages

• Updated curl to 7.21.3 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-List-MoreUtils to 0.30:

  • Change the way we localise PERL_DL_NONLAZY to false to remove a warning that some people were seeing; the new approach is taken from the way that List::Util does it

Friday 17th December 2010

Fedora Project

• Became owner of trac-spamfilter-plugin after it was orphaned by JesseKeating

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.37 in F-13 and F-14, addressing CVE-2010-4334 (IO::Socket::SSL ignores user request for peer verification); this was already fixed in Rawhide

• Updated spambayes to 1.1a6 in EPEL-6 (as per Rawhide and Fedora 14)

• Updated trac-accountmanager-plugin to the current HEAD (revision 9591) of trunk (for use with trac 0.12.x) in Rawhide, and requested a new branch for EPEL-6

• Updated trac-spamfilter-plugin to the current HEAD (revision 10366) of the 0.12 branch (for use with trac 0.12.x) in Rawhide and EPEL-6

Local Packages

• Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20101217:

  • Added new flag -it=n or --iterations=n to make perltidy do n complete iterations. For most purposes the default of n=1 should be satisfactory. However, n=2 can be useful when a major style change is being made, or when code is being beautified on check-in to a source code control system. The run time will be approximately proportional to n, and it should seldom be necessary to use a value greater than n=2.

  • A configuration file pathname beginning with three dots, e.g. ".../.perltidyrc", indicates that the file should be searched for starting in the current directory and working upwards. This makes it easier to have multiple projects each with their own .perltidyrc in their root directories.

  • Added flag --notidy that disables all formatting and causes the input to be copied unchanged. This can be useful in conjunction with hierarchical .perltidyrc files to prevent unwanted tidying.

  • Added prefilters and postfilters in the call to the Tidy.pm module. The prefilter is a code reference that will be applied to the source before tidying, and the postfilter is a code reference to the result before outputting. This is useful for all manner of customizations, e.g. to convert the 'method' keyword to 'sub' so that perltidy will work for Method::Signature::Simple code:

  • Perl::Tidy::perltidy(
       prefilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^method (.*)/sub $1 \#__METHOD/gm; return $_ },
       postfilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^sub (.*?)\s* \#__METHOD/method $1/gm; return $_ }
    );

  • The starting indentation level of sections of code entabbed with -et=n is correctly guessed if it was also produced with the same -et=n flag. This keeps the indentation stable on repeated formatting passes within an editor.

  • Functions with prototype '&' had a space between the function and opening paren. This space now only occurs if the flag --space-function-paren (-sfp) is set.

  • Patch to never put spaces around a bare word in braces beginning with ^ as in:

  •    my $before = ${^PREMATCH};

  • even if requested with the -bt=0 flag because any spaces cause a syntax error in perl.

Sunday 19th December 2010

Fedora Project

• Updated bluefish in Rawhide to include an updated patch from upstream for Bug #663014 to fix another potential issue that was discovered; whilst testing this I discovered another (unrelated) repeatable segfault and would like to include a fix for that before pushing further updates for other releases

Local Packages

• Updated bluefish as per the Fedora version

• Rebuilt libxslt to resync with Rawhide again (no changes)

• Updated perl-Archive-Tar to 1.74:

  • Skip extracting pax extended headers (CPAN RT#64038)

• Rebuilt perl-HTML-Lint to fix problems with vendorarch/lib (Bug #661697)

• Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.038:

  • Modify subroutines "new" and "new6" in Lite.pm to accommodate Cisco mask syntax that uses space instead of "/" for a separator; this eliminates the need for "new_cis" and "newcis6", which are now deprecated

  • Modify Lite/t/v4-cnew.t and add Lite/t/v6-cnew.t to test the above

Monday 20th December 2010

Fedora Project

• Updated proftpd in Rawhide and EPEL-6 to 1.3.3d:

  • Fixed sql_prepare_where() buffer overflow (bug 3536)

  • Fixed CPU spike when handling .ftpaccess files

  • Fixed handling of SFTP uploads when compression is used

Local Packages

• New package check (0.9.8)

• Updated java-1.6.0-sun to 1.6.0.23 (see SunJava6OnFedora)

• Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.42:

  • Updated for 5.13.8

• Updated proftpd as per Fedora version

• Updated unrar to 4.00 beta 3:

  • Now switch -ep3 converts not only disk letters, but also UNC paths, so \\server\share will be converted to __server\share when archiving and restored to the original \\server\share when extracting with -ep3

  • Previous beta could fail to unpack self-extracting and multi-volume CAB archives
  • Previous beta crashed when displaying archive comments with ANSI escape sequences

  • Switches -cl and -cu did not work

• Rebuilt dovecot to stay in sync with Rawhide

Tuesday 21st December 2010

Fedora Project

• Built trac-accountmanager-plugin (0.3, svn revision 9591, same as Rawhide) for EPEL-6

  • Fix Makefile.PL to make Strawberry Perl happy (CPAN RT#63991)

• Updated trac-accountmanager-plugin to svn revision 9290 (still from the 0.11 branch), bumped the trac version requirement to 0.11.2 (needed for secure_cookies), and added a %check section to run the test suite

Wednesday 22nd December 2010

Local Packages

• New package perl-Net-FTPSSL (0.16)

• New package perl-Net-Telnet (3.03)

• Updated perl-DateTime to update the URL for the FAQ in %description

Thursday 23rd December 2010

Local Packages

Today I updated proftpd to 1.3.4rc1, in svn only due to the inclusion of a 50MB test file in the source tarball. This file won't be present in the next release candidate, so I'll probably do a full set of builds for that.

Upstream changes:

• Added Japanese translation

• Many mod_sftp bugfixes

• Fixed SSL_shutdown() errors caused by OpenSSL 0.9.8m and later

• Added support for SMTP authentication in ftpmail script

• Updated fnmatch implementation, using glibc-2.9 version

• New modules:

  • mod_copy

  • mod_deflate

  • mod_ifversion

  • mod_qos

• New configuration directives:

  • Protocols

  • ScoreboardMutex

  • SFTPClientAlive

  • WrapOptions

• Changed configuration directives:

  • BanOnEvent

  • ListOptions

  • LogFormat

  • SFTPOptions

  • TLSOptions

  • UseSendfile

• Deprecated configuration directives:

  • DisplayGoAway (support for this directive has been removed)

Downstream changes:

• Added %check section, running the API tests by default (requiring buildreq check-devel)

• Added upstream patch (http://bugs.proftpd.org/3568), modified slightly, to fix the API tests

• Added facility to run the perl-based integration test suite if the build option --with integrationtests is supplied; this is off by default as it is not fully maintained and is expected to fail in parts (see http://bugs.proftpd.org/3568#c5); this needs additional buildreqs perl(Compress::Zlib), perl(IO::Socket::SSL), perl(Net::FTPSSL), perl(Net::SSLeay), perl(Net::Telnet), perl(Test::Harness) and perl(Time::HiRes)

• Bundled perl(Test::Unit) 0.14, needed to run the integration test suite (the version in Fedora is an incompatible later version not from CPAN)

• Build new DSO modules: mod_copy, mod_deflate, mod_ifversion and mod_qos

• QoS support can be enabled in /etc/sysconfig/proftpd

• Add patch to fix up the configure script to be able to handle mysql_config scripts in ancient distributions that have output that's incompatible with what proftpd expects

Friday 24th December 2010
