Local Packages
Updated perl-Event to 1.17:
Workarounds for test failures on Windows (CPAN RT#43179, CPAN RT#67882)
Updated python-zope-interface to 3.6.2:
Moved detailed documentation out-of-line from PyPI page, linking instead to http://docs.zope.org/zope.interface
Fixes for small issues when running tests under Python 3.2 using zope.testrunner
LP#675064: specify return value type for C optimizations module init under Python 3: undeclared value caused warnings, and segfaults on some 64-bit architectures
setup.py now raises RuntimeError if you don't have Distutils installed when running under Python 3
Updated sendmail to 8.14.5:
- SMTP extensions are no longer cached across connections as the cache is based on hostname which may not be a unique identifier for a server, i.e., different machines may have the same hostname but provide different SMTP extensions
- An out-of-bounds access is avoided in case a resolver reply for a DNS map lookup returns a size larger than 1K
- The interrupt signal handler has been cleaned up to avoid invoking functions that are not signal-safe
- At most two AUTH lines are read from a server to avoid a DoS attack against the client (memory exhaustion)
