Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-B-Keywords to 1.12 in F-17 (Rawhide will inherit this build):

    • Add new keyword fc (Unicode casefolding) for 5.16

    • Added diag before each big t/11keywords.t loop

  • Updated perl-Module-Implementation to 0.05 in F-16, F-17, Rawhide and EPEL-6:

    • Make Test::Taint an optional dependency; it requires XS, and requiring a compiler for Module::Implementation defeats its purpose (CPAN RT#74817)

  • Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.009 in F-17 (Rawhide will inherit this build):

    • Advise against using isnt(exception{...},undef)

Local Packages

  • Branched the development repository for Fedora 17: there's now a separate fc17 repository and the development one is now targeting Fedora 18

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent to not build-require perl(EV) when bootstrapping so as to break circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-B-Keywords to 1.12 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-DBI to not build-require perl(SQL::Statement) when bootstrapping so as to break circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-Eval-Closure to 0.08:

    • Remove a double layer of string eval that was introduced in 0.07 as an intermediate step in figuring out the unique package thing - it's not necessary with the final implementation, and just makes things slower and hides errors

  • Updated perl-Module-Implementation to 0.05 as per the Fedora version, adding a patch to support building on distributions prior to Fedora 5 where Test::Requires is unavailable

  • Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.009 as per the Fedora version

  • Rebuilt proftpd for the new libpcre in Rawhide
