Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Class-Load to 0.10 in F-16 and Rawhide, adding new dependencies perl(Package::Stash) ≥ 0.32 and perl(Try::Tiny):

    • Fix is_class_loaded to ignore $ISA (but still look for @ISA) when trying to determine whether a class is loaded

    • Lots of internals clean-up

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.004 in F-16 and Rawhide:

    • Generated from ADAMK/YAML-Tiny-1.50.tar.gz

  • There were more packaging changes here too, so I added a build requirement of perl(Test::Version) for a new release test and I needed to add patches for EPEL support to handle building with Test::More < 0.88, ExtUtils::MakeMaker < 6.30, and Scalar::Util < 0.18, as the package had inherited a bug from YAML::Tiny that broke it with old versions of Scalar::Util:

... etc.

  • I'd already fixed this bug in my local perl-YAML-Tiny package but had again neglected to send the fix upstream, so I rectified that by updating CPAN RT#53490 with this patch:

  • Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000007 in Rawhide:

    • Apply VMS fixes backported from blead

Local Packages

  • Updated GeoIP to fix the timestamps on the autotools-generated files so that our hacked libtool script doesn't get overwritten by re-running config.status, resulting in an RPATH of /usr/lib64 getting added to the library

  • Updated libssh2 to 1.3.0:

    • Added custom callbacks for performing low level socket I/O

    • sftp_read: advance offset correctly for buffered copies

    • libssh2_sftp_seek64: flush packetlist and buffered data

    • _libssh2_packet_add: adjust window size when truncating

    • sftp_read: a short read is not end of file

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.004 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000007 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Moose to 2.0205:

    • The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method, which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as the attribute's reference

    • Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a sensible error

    • When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides -alias or -excludes caused a warning; however, passing other options is totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized

    • Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with the Object constraint)

  • Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 0.85:

    • NAME / DISTNAME in Makefile.PL

    • More cross-checks for META data
