Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Digest-SHA to 5.63:

    • Added code to allow very large data inputs all at once (previously limited to several hundred MB at a time)

    • Removed outdated reference URLs from several test scripts;these URLs aren't essential, and often go stale (CPAN RT#68740)

  • Updated perl-YAML-Syck to 1.19:

    • Do not run t/leak.t on perls prior to 5.8.9 as 5.8.8 and Devel::Leak apparently do not mix (Perl RT#102606)

  • Given that YAML::Syck 1.18 ran t/leak.t perfectly well with perls prior to 5.8.9 if the fix for perl 5.15 was reverted, I have retained the patch I added for that and reinstated the t/leak.t test for builds for distributions with old perl versions that are affected by this

  • Updated pptp to add two new features from upstream CVS:

    • Support setting SO_MARK for the PPTP TCP control connection as well as on the GRE packets

    • Implement the --nohostroute option
