Local Packages
Updated perl-IPC-Cmd to 0.70:
Apply a patch from CPAN RT#65276 with changes for run_forked:
- Fix for the typo in the name of the signal
Changed default for clean_up_children (which seems to be the behaviour expected by the majority of the users)
- Added detection (and forwarding to the caller) of the case when run program is killed by signal
kill_gently is now used in cases when parent died and when the executed program times out
- Added options that allow execution of some user code in the beginning and at the end of the child process
Updated perl-Mail-IMAPClient to 3.26:
See Changes for full details
Require Perl 5.8.1 as constant use is invalid on 5.6
Fix fetch_hash() parse errors (CPAN RT#63524)
Fix handling of LITERAL values in response
Fix handling of field names with a dash (e.g. X-SAVEDATE)
fetch_hash now uses Escaped_results() method
Fix Escaped_results() to properly join LITERAL data with the data that comes before and after it
append_file() did not interpret $date as expected (CPAN RT#60945)
$date should now be 1 (to use the file mtime) or a valid RFC3501 date
Address memory consumption with message_string()/append() (CPAN RT#61292)
Major problem with one function in IMAPClient (CPAN RT#61806)
- Significant memory usage improvements
Relax get_envelope(), allow empty reply-to (CPAN RT#63444)
append_string could invalidate a good $date (CPAN RT#61068)
Fix logout error if delay between BYE and OK (CPAN RT#60045)
Fix migrate() errors (CPAN RT#61062)
Rewrite migrate() to be functional and simple
Update README and clean up several old or out of date files
I saw that the (basic) test suite passed with Perl 5.8.0 so I added a patch to drop the Perl version requirement to 5.8.0 for RHL-9 and RHEL-3 support
Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.48:
Fix to the refaddr compatibility where Scalar::Util is installed but is older than 1.18
I found that this change didn't actually work - the test suite failed on systems with Scalar::Util < 1.18:
t/02_basic.........# Failed test (t/lib/Test.pm at line 253) # got: 'Undefined subroutine &YAML::Tiny::refaddr called at /builddir/build/BUILD/YAML-Tiny-1.48/blib/lib/YAML/Tiny.pm line 469. # ' # expected: ''
- A slight tweak to the new code fixed this:
