Local Packages

  • New package perl-Math-Round (0.06)

  • Updated perl-DateTime to 0.67:

    • The %N strftime specifier simply truncated nanoseconds, rather than rounding them (CPAN RT#66744)

    • The %U strftime specifier was off by one in years where January 1st was a Sunday (CPAN RT#67631)

    • The %W strftime specifier was off by one in years where January 1st was a Sunday or Monday (CPAN RT#67631)

    • Some small optimizations from Christian Hansen; the biggest impact is for calculating week_of_month, week_number and week_year

  • This update introduced a new build requirement of perl-Math-Round and I had to add a patch to get it to build with Perl 5.8.0 as upstream now requires Perl 5.8.1 despite the test suite running perfectly well on Perl 5.8.0 (at least on RHL-9/RHEL-3)
