Fedora Project
Updated perl-JSON in Rawhide to 2.50 (Bug #665621), necessary to avoid conflicts with the new perl-JSON-PP package, which was bundled with perl-JSON in previous releases; I also added new provides/requires filtering to remove references to internal-only package names in the rpm metadata
New package perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML (0.003) built for Rawhide, F-14, F-13 and EL-6; EL-5 and EL-4 builds will have to wait for the availability of perl-Test-CPAN-Meta and perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta, which will be around a month
New package perl-JSON-PP (2.27104) built for Rawhide only because it conflicts with perl-JSON < 2.50 as found in all older releases
Importing this package proved to be tricky because there's currently Bug #619979 affecting fedpkg whereby it crashes if there are no branches other than master present:
$ fedpkg new-sources JSON-PP-2.27104.tar.gz Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/fedpkg", line 1250, in <module> args.command(args) File "/usr/bin/fedpkg", line 607, in new_sources mymodule = pyfedpkg.PackageModule(args.path) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py", line 1077, in __init__ self.distval = self._findmasterbranch() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py", line 1022, in _findmasterbranch return(int(fedoras[-1].strip('f')) + 1) IndexError: list index out of range- Fortunately, Petr Pisar came up with a manual way of doing the import without polluting the repository with unwanted branches:

Local Packages
New package perl-JSON (2.50)
Updated perl-Class-Inspector to 1.25 and built it to install to Perl core directories rather than Perl vendor directories:
Update to Module::Install::DSL 1.00
- Update copyright year
Updated perl-JSON-PP to conflict with perl-JSON < 2.50 (Bug #672764)
Updated perl-Module-Build to 0.3623:
Fixed bugs involving bootstrapping configure_requires prerequisites on older CPANPLUS clients or for either CPAN/CPANPLUS when using the compatibility Makefile.PL
Added diagnostic output when configure_requires are missing for the benefit of users doing manual installation
Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.017 and built it to install to Perl core directories rather than Perl vendor directories:
Add the /a modifier to PPI::Regexp::Token::Modifiers, legal only in the (?:...) construction
- When parsing an interpolation from a replacement string (rather than a regular expression), take subscripts at face value rather than trying to disambiguate them from quantifiers and character classes, which they can't be in this context
