Wednesday 4th May 2011

• Fixed perl-Hash-Util-FieldHash-Compat in Rawhide to filter out the unversioned provide perl(Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat) and tweak the provides filter to leave in the versioned provide perl(Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat) = 0.03 if built on a system with rpm < 4.9 (the existing filter tried to remove the versioned provide and leave the unversioned one, which of course is the wrong way around)

Local Packages

• New package perl-Hash-Util-FieldHash-Compat (0.03)

• New package perl-Tie-RefHash-Weak (0.09)

• Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime to 0.69:

Thursday 5th May 2011

Fedora Project

• Fixed bogus provides in EPEL-5 version of perl-Test-Mock-LWP - already fixed in Fedora (Bug #472354), which manifested when doing test builds of perl-Digest-MD5-File

• Fixed the provides filter for rpm 4.9 and did a general clean-up on perl-Test-Unit-Lite in Rawhide

• Submitted review request for perl-Digest-MD5-File, needed for recent versions of perl-Net-Amazon-S3, whose maintainer didn't seem interested in packaging it themselves (Bug #646832); before the end of the day it had been reviewed and built for Rawhide, F-15, F-14, F-13 and EPEL-6 - EPEL-4/5 builds will have to wait until the perl-Test-Mock-LWP fix makes it to EPEL-5 stable

• Updated perl-Moose to 2.0005:

  • Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer skips every other role

  • Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account, and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist; asking for caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will begin warning in Moose 2.0200

  • Bump the List::MoreUtils dependency to version 0.28 to avoid buggy behaviour in old versions

  • Sort the list of alias parameters when determining caching, since their order doesn't matter

Tuesday 10th May 2011

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.41 in Rawhide:

  • Fix issue in stop_SSL where it did not issue a shut-down of the SSL connection if it first received the shut-down from the other side

  • Try to make t/nonblock.t more reliable, at least reporting the real cause of SSL connection errors

Wednesday 11th May 2011

Fedora Project

• Introduced perl-Test-CheckChanges (0.14) with builds for Rawhide, F-15, F-14, F-13, EPEL-5 and EPEL-4; there would also have been an EPEL-6 version had perl(Test::Exception) not mysteriously disappeared from the buildroot

  • sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was auto-created, leading to trouble with dsync

  • Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters

  • Preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve, uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense

  • Fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing

  • Passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself
  • Passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself

  • AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, due to some copy&paste bug
