Fedora Project

  • Updated imlib with a patch from gentoo for libpng 1.5 support, needed because Rawhide has finally updated libpng to 1.5.x, where all accesses to internal structures have to be made via accessor functions and not using the long-deprecated direct access

Local Packages

  • Updated imlib as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-YAML-Syck to 1.18:

    • Break YAML::Syck dependency on Scalar::Util

    • Only lvalue subroutines are supposed to return the argument to "return" without copying it; stop relying on a pre-5.15 bug (Perl RT#102606)

  • Unfortunately the fix for Perl RT#102606 caused t/leak.t to crash in perl < 5.8.9, so I added a patch to revert that change on affected older distributions
