Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Package-Stash-XS to 0.21 in Rawhide:

  • Make the leak tests author-only, since some smokers run release tests
  • Fix some XS forward compatibility stuff

• Updated perl-Package-Stash to 0.25 in Rawhide:

  • Make the leak tests author-only, since some smokers run release tests

Local Packages

• New package perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML (0.003)

• New package perl-JSON-PP (2.27104)

• New package perl-Module-Metadata (1.000003)

• New package perl-Perl-OSType (1.002)

• Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime::TimeZone to 1.27:

  • Based on version 2011a of the Olson database
  • Includes historical updates for Australia and Hawaii

• Updated perl-Module-Build to 0.3622:

  • Give a list of valid licenses when given one we don't recognize (CPAN RT#55951)

  • Improve HTML documentation generation on ActivePerl (CPAN RT#53478)

  • Won't try to use ActivePerl doc generation tools without confirming that they are indeed installed

  • Handle META/MYMETA reading and writing within Module::Build to ensure utf8 mode on filehandles

  • Fix runtime error on cygwin when searching for an executable command during installdeps testing

  • Add install*script to search path for installdeps client and search site, then vendor, then core paths

  • Set temporary $ENV{HOME} in testing to an absolute path, which fixes some issues when tested as part of the Perl core

  • Module::Build::ModuleInfo now warns instead of dying when a module has an invalid version; ->version now just returns undef (CPAN RT#59593)

  • Add 'Build manifest_skip' action to generate a default MANIFEST.SKIP

  • When temporarily generating a MANIFEST.SKIP when none exists, it will be removed on exit instead of hanging around until 'Build clean'; this is less surprising/confusing and the 'Build manifest_skip' action is now available instead to bootstrap the file

  • Add 'distinstall' action to run 'Build install' inside the generated distribution directory

  • Add 'release_status' and 'dist_suffix' properties in preparation for adding CPAN Meta Spec 2 support; 'dist_suffix' will be set to 'TRIAL' automatically when necessary

  • Module::Build::Compat will now convert dotted-decimal prereqs into decimal rather than dying (and will warn about this)

  • Skip 'release_status' tests on perl < 5.8.1 due to buggy treatment of dotted-decimal version numbers

  • PERL_DL_NONLAZY is now always set when tests are run (CPAN RT#56055)

  • Cache case-sensitivity checks to boost performance (CPAN RT#55162, CPAN RT#56513)

  • When parsing a version number out of a file, any trailing alphabetical characters will be dropped to avoid fatal errors when comparing version numbers; these would have been dropped (with a warning) anyway during an ordinary numeric comparison (CPAN RT#56071)

  • A Perl interpreter mismatch between running Build.PL and running Build is now a fatal error, not a warning (CPAN RT#55183)

  • Build script now checks that M::B is at least the same version of M::B as provided in 'configure_requires' in META (CPAN RT#54954)

  • No longer uses fake user 'foo' in t/tilde (CPAN RT#61793)

  • 'fakeinstall' will use .modulebuildrc actions for 'install' if no specific 'fakeinstall' options are provided (CPAN RT#57279)

  • When authors do not specify Module::Build in configure_requires and Module::Build is automatically added, a warning will be issued showing the added prerequisite

  • Move automatic configure_requires generation into get_metadata() and add an 'auto' argument to toggle it (on for META and off for MYMETA)

  • Correctly report missing metafile field names

  • A broken version.pm load won't cause Module::Build::Version to die trying to install itself as a mock version (CPAN RT#59499)

  • Better error message in case package declaration is not found when searching for version

  • Make 'license' more liberal: you can now specify either a license key from the approved list (c.f. Module::Build::API) or just a Software::License subclass name (e.g. 'Perl_5'); this should provide better support for custom or proprietary licenses

  • Add a mock Software::License to prevent t/properties/license.t from failing

  • Arguments with key-value pairs may now have keys with "-" in them (CPAN RT#53050)

  • Won't fail tests if an ancient Tie::IxHash is installed

  • Add dependency on Perl::OSType to refactor and centralize management of OS type mapping

  • Perl::OSType is declared as a 'configure_requires' dependency, but is also bundled in inc (and loaded if needed)

  • Return to starting directory after install action; this is an attempt to fix an install.t heisenbug (CPAN RT#63003)

  • Add quotemeta to t/tilde.t test to fix Cygwin fails

  • Skip noexec tmpdir check on Windows (CPAN RT#55667)

  • Changed YAML::Tiny references to the new CPAN::Meta::YAML module instead, which is the YAML-variant that is going into the Perl core

  • Module::Build::YAML has been deprecated; Module::Build now depends directly upon CPAN::Meta::YAML (M::B::YAML remains as a subclass wrapper)

  • Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been deprecated; Module::Build now depends directly upon Module::Metadata (which is an extraction of M::B::ModuleInfo intended for general reuse); a pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported (M::B::ModuleInfo remains as a wrapper around Module::Metadata)

  • Module::Build::Version has been deprecated; Module::Build now depends directly upon version.pm; a pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported (M::B::Version remains as a wrapper around version.pm)

  • The YAML_support feature has been removed

• Packaging changes:

  • Drop workaround for gnupg2's inability to import secret keys now that %{__gpg} can safely be assumed to be gnupg version 1

  • Package LICENSE file

  • Clean up Requires/BuildRequires and add version requirements

  • Drop runtime dependency on perl(Archive::Zip), used only in the test suite

  • Drop perl(Software::License) buildreq as the bundled version can be used

  • Drop all dependencies on perl(YAML::Tiny)

  • BR: perl(CPAN::Meta::YAML) ≥ 0.002, perl(Module::Metadata) ≥ 1.000002, perl(Perl::OSType) ≥ 1

• Updated perl-Package-Stash-XS to 0.21 as per the Fedora package

• Updated perl-Package-Stash to 0.25 as per the Fedora package

• Updated perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta to 1.4200, adding buildreqs perl(CPAN::Meta::YAML) ≥ 0.002, perl(JSON::PP) ≥ 2.27103 and perl(Module::Load::Conditional) ≥ 0.26, and dropping no-longer-used buildreqs perl(Test::CPAN::Meta) and perl(Test::MinimumVersion); the package can now parse META.json files as well as META.yml files

  • Add support for JSON metafiles and load_* methods

  • Move binary file unpacking to test file from Makefile.PL so tests will pass in the Perl core using a generated Makefile.PL

  • Move bundled uupacktool.pl to t/bin/

  • Use CPAN::Meta::YAML rather than YAML::Tiny

  • Throw exception when CPAN::Meta::YAML has a parse error (CPAN RT#47608)

  • Support PERL_JSON_BACKEND environment (defaulting to JSON::PP)

  • Support PERL_YAML_BACKEND environment (defaulting to CPAN::Meta:YAML)

  • Update Makefile.PL to install to sitelib on Perl 5.12+
