Local Packages

  • Updated my builder to use kernel 2.6.40 so that I can use file capabilities on tmpfs (Bug #648653) and hence build packages for Fedora 15 onwards more quickly :-)

  • Updated my builder configuration for Fedora 3, 4, 5 and 6 to exclude libnet10 from Fedora Extras as it can get pulled in by yum in mock when a package has a build requirement of libnet-devel, even though there's higher versioned package of libnet-devel available (Bug #229297)

  • Updated my repository-building script to remove empty garbageid directories left around by createrepo (Bug #581628)

  • Updated mgdiff to use the tarball from ftp.x.org rather than the one I originally pulled from a SuSE source RPM a few years ago

  • Updated perl-Test-NoWarnings to 1.03:

    • Test::Builder and Test::Tester dependencies were the wrong way around (build vs. runtime)

  • I also reinstated the build requirements perl(Pod::Simple), perl(Test::CPAN::Meta), perl(Test::MinimumVersion) and perl(Test::Pod) that had been dropped for the 1.02 build, and run the release tests during the build

  • Rebuild for various clean-ups such as removal of macros, fixing dist tag for CentOS 6:
    • kernel-dummy

    • shorten

    • symlinks

    • tcptraceroute

    • torrentsniff

    • tzip
