=== Wednesday 30th March 2011 ===

==== Fedora Project ====

 * Updated `perl-Package-Stash` to 0.28 in Rawhide and F-15:
  * `META.json` fixes
 * Updated `perl-Perl-Critic` to 1.114 in Rawhide ([[RedHatBugzilla:677888|Bug #677888]]); the F-15 build will have to wait until `perl-PPI` version 1.215 is available (still in the `testing` repository):
  * `Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText` now handles nested POD formatting ([[CPAN:65569|CPAN RT#65569]])
  * Clarified relation of severity numbers to names in `Perl::Critic POD` ([[CPAN:66017|CPAN RT#66017]])
  * Removed caveats from `Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars`, no longer necessary with `PPI` 1.208 ([[CPAN:65514|CPAN RT#65514]])
  * Have `InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen` attempt to expand scope as necessary to deal with the case where the `open()` and the corresponding `close()` are not in the same scope ([[CPAN:64437|CPAN RT#64437]])
  * `RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture` now looks inside double-quotish things ([[CPAN:38942|CPAN RT#38942]])
  * `RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture` now takes logical alternation into account, so that (e.g.)
  . {{{
if ( /(a)/ || /(b)/ ) {
    say $1;
}
}}}
  . is not a violation ([[CPAN:38942|CPAN RT#38942]])
  * `ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements` now recognizes '`return { foo => 1, bar => 2 }`' as containing a hash constructor, not a block; this was fixed by `PPI` 1.215 ([[CPAN:61301|CPAN RT#61301]])
  * `ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements` now recognizes '`bless { foo => 1, bar => 2 }`' as containing a hash constructor, not a block; this was fixed by `PPI` 1.215 ([[CPAN:64132|CPAN RT#64132]])
 . I also made a bunch of other changes, merging what I considered to be the best bits of the current package and my local build of it:
  * Bumped `PPI` version requirement to 1.215
  * BR/R: `perl(Pod::Parser)`
  * BR/R: optional modules `perl(Readonly::XS)` and `perl(Term::ANSIColor)` ≥ 2.02
  * BR: `perl(Pod::Spell)` ≥ 1
  * BR: `perl(Text::ParseWords)` ≥ 3
  * Added runtime dependencies for optional modules `perl(File::HomeDir)` and `perl(File::Which)`
  * Dropped redundant (for modern `rpm`) `BuildRoot` tag and buildroot cleaning
  * Split `Test::Perl::Critic::Policy` off into its own package
  * Added dependency on `aspell` for `Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::PodSpelling`
  * Added version 1.889 requirement for `perl(Email::Address)`
  * Added version 0.19 requirement for `perl(List::MoreUtils)`
  * Added version 0.010 requirement for `perl(PPIx::Regexp)`
  * Added version 1.001 requirement for `perl(PPIx::Utilities::Statement)`
  * Added version 0.77 requirement for `perl(version)`
  * Dropped unused build requirement `perl(Test::Spelling)`
  * Dropped bogus build requirements `perl(lib)` and `perl(base)`
  * Added option for building with author tests enabled (`--with authortests`); this is an off-by-default option as some of the necessary modules are not yet available in Fedora
  * Added patch with words not in Fedora dictionaries for spell check tests
  * Split build requirements into separate sections in the spec file for build process, the module, the main test suite and the author tests
 * Built `perl-Devel-Cycle` (1.07) for EPEL-4 now that `perl-PadWalker` is available

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-Module-Build` to explicitly require `perl(CPAN::Meta)` ≥ 2.110420, needed for creation of `MYMETA` files by `Build.PL`; the lack of this module results in the message "`Could not create MYMETA files`" from `Build.PL` and possible failure of ''Kwalitee'' tests in modules using a `Module::Build` flow (note that the Fedora `perl-Module-Build` package already has this dependency)
 * Updated `perl-Package-Stash` to 0.28 as per the Fedora version
 * Merged a bunch of improvements from the Fedora `perl-Perl-Critic` package into my local build:
  * Switch to `Module::Build` flow, preferred by upstream
  * Drop unused build requirement `perl(Test::Spelling)`
  * Add runtime dependency on `aspell`
  * Add build requirements for completeness:
   * `perl(Carp)`
   * `perl(charnames)`
   * `perl(Exporter)`
   * `perl(File::Basename)`
   * `perl(File::Find)`
   * `perl(File::Path)`
   * `perl(File::Spec)`
   * `perl(File::Spec::Unix)`
   * `perl(File::Temp)`
   * `perl(Getopt::Long)`
   * `perl(List::Util)`
   * `perl(overload)`
   * `perl(Pod::PlainText)`
   * `perl(Pod::Select)`
   * `perl(Pod::Usage)`
   * `perl(Readonly::XS)`
   * `perl(Scalar::Util)`
   * `perl(strict)`
   * `perl(Test::More)`
   * `perl(warnings)`
  * Add version requirement of 1 for `perl(Pod::Spell)`
  * Add version requirement of 0.010 for `perl(PPIx::Regexp)`
  * Add version requirement of 1.00 for `perl(Test::Pod)`
  * Add version requirement of 1.04 for `perl(Test::Pod::Coverage)`
  * Add version requirement of 3 for `perl(Text::ParseWords)`
  * Drop explicit dependencies on `perl(Perl::Tidy)`, `perl(Pod::Spell)`, `perl(PPIx::Regexp)` and `perl(Text::ParseWords)`, all of which are detected automatically by `rpm`
