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:
When a DateTime object had nanoseconds == 0, the %N strftime specifier always returned "0" regardless of the precision requested (CPAN RT#67928)
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
Local Packages

Local Packages
New package perl-MooseX-GlobRef (0.0701)
New package perl-MooseX-NonMoose (0.22)
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

Local Packages
Updated perl-DateTime to update DateTime to 0.70:
Really fix %N, finally; this was breaking the DateTime::Event::Recurrence test suite

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
Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.43 in Rawhide:
Add SSL_create_ctx_callback to have a way to adjust context on creation (CPAN RT#67799)

- Quota warnings could have been executed at incorrect times with some configurations

Added "doveadm index" command to add un-indexed messages into index/cache; if full text search is enabled, it also adds un-indexed messages to the full text search database
Added "doveadm director dump" command
- pop3: Added support for showing messages in "POP3 order", which can be different from IMAP message order; this can be useful for migrations from other servers
doveconf: Fixed a wrong "subsection has ssl=yes" warning
mdbox purge: Fixed wrong warning about corrupted extrefs
sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was auto-created, leading to trouble with dsync
script-login binary wasn't actually dropping privileges to the user/group/chroot specified by its service settings
Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters
Updated perl-AnyEvent to 5.34:
AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle object when it's already gone
Update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0
Preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve, uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense
Remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove, 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
Improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly

Documentation::RequirePodSections no longer blows up on code having POD but no =head1 (CPAN RT#67231)
RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture should more reliably find things like s/(a)/${1}2/ (CPAN RT#67273)

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

- The interrupt signal handler has been cleaned up to avoid invoking functions that are not signal-safe

Updated xz to 5.0.3:
liblzma:
- A memory leak was fixed
lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates an empty .xz Block if encoding an empty buffer; such an empty Block with LZMA2 data would trigger a bug in 5.0.1 and older
Validate function arguments better in a few functions; most importantly, specifying an unsupported integrity check to lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates a corrupt .xz file
Document that lzma_block_buffer_encode(), lzma_easy_buffer_encode(), lzma_stream_encoder(), and lzma_stream_buffer_encode() may return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK
The return values of the _memusage() functions are now documented better
Fix command name detection in xzgrep; xzegrep and xzfgrep now correctly use egrep and fgrep instead of grep
- French translation was added.
Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for xz 5.0.3
