Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML in Rawhide to install to vendor perl directories rather than private perl directories

  • Updated perl-Perl-OSType in Rawhide to build with perl(Pod::Coverage::TrustPod) unconditionally now that it's available in EPEL-4

  • Updated perl-Test-Requires in EPEL-6 to build using hunspell-en rather than aspell-en now that RHEL-6's perl-Test-Spelling package has been updated to use hunspell rather than aspell (Bug #731272)

Local Packages

  • Updated c-ares to 1.7.5:

    • Detection of semicolon comments in resolv.conf

    • Avoid using system's inet_net_pton affected by the WLB-2008080064 advisory

    • Replacement ares_inet_net_pton affected by the WLB-2008080064 advisory

    • Replacement ares_inet_ntop affected by potential out of bounds write

    • Added install target to Makefile.msvc

    • Only fall back to AF_INET searches when looking for AF_UNSPEC addresses

    • Fixed ares_parse_*_reply memory leaks

    • Use correct sizeof in ares_getnameinfo()

    • IPv6-on-windows: find DNS servers correctly
    • man pages: docs for the c-ares utility programs

    • getservbyport replacement for Win CE

    • config_sortlist: (win32) missing else

    • advance_tcp_send_queue: avoid NULL pointer dereference

    • configure: fix a bash-ism

    • ares_expand_name: Fix encoded length for indirect root

  • Updated java-1.6.0-sun to Java SE 6 Update 27 along with tzupdater 1.3.40 but unfortunately it doesn't work with my test case of the EMC NetWorker Management Console (Could not initialize class COM.legato.gwt.gtpanel.GtUtils), which worked fine with Update 26, so I'm not updating SunJava6OnFedora until I've identified where the problem is

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to install to vendor perl directories rather than private perl directories
