Local Packages

  • Updated city-fan.org-release to update the GPL license text to use the new FSF address, and to fix the dist tag for CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux

  • Updated perl-BDB to 1.89:

    • Make it compile and test successfully with libdb 5.1, but do not add any new symbols or functionality

  • This update enabled me to build perl-BDB using the default libdb 5.0 on Fedora 14 and libdb 5.1 on Fedora 15 but not libdb 5.2 on Fedora 16, though a small patch fixed that problem (CPAN RT#69881)

  • Updated ppp to fix the dist tag for CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux

  • Updated tidy to fix mangling of non-ASCII output file names (Bug #720221)

  • Updated tidyp fix mangling of non-ASCII output file names (Bug #725651)

  • I also sent this patch (same as for tidy) upstream, though since upstream is on GitHub, this involved registering on GitHub, forking the upstream repo, applying the patch, pushing the commit back to GitHub and sending a pull request upstream, which was rather more effort than sending a simple patch by email
