Fedora Project
Became co-maintainer of perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS in EPEL-5
Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib to 2.050 in Rawhide:
Fix build failure on Irix and Solaris (CPAN RT#75151)
Built perl-Params-Classify (0.013) in EPEL-5 as perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS became available
Local Packages
New package perl-Perl-Critic-Lax (0.008)
Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib to 2.050 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Filter to 1.42:
Improve t/tee.t test 5 on Windows, which allows read access for all Administrator group members
Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.61:
- Updated for v5.15.8
Updated perl-Net-FTPSSL to 0.21:
Fixed bad call to _croak_or_return () in _get_data_channel() when dealing with failed certificates for data connections
New option to execute PRET (for distributed FTP data channel transfers) before all PASV calls (CPAN RT#74547)
Updated t/10-complex.t to dynamically check if PRET is needed
Added checks to avoid warnings with uc(undef) (CPAN RT#74035)
Fixed both test cases to no longer send Port as undefined to get rid of warnings in log file (passing undef wasn't realistic, was just convenient)
t/10-complex.t now explicitly checks if any warnings are generated and does a request for feadback instead of as an error if any are found, which should help considerably with debugging any code changes in the future
Added new internal method _feat() to get additional commands to be recognized by supported()
Enhanced _help() in parsing its response from the server and other significant enhancements (major rewrite of this one method)
Above rewrite uncovered bug in t/10-complex.t to fix in a supported() test
Did some tweaking to the workings of the OverrideHELP option due to changes in _help() and supported()
Updated POD for supported() to describe changes to functionality
Updated perl-Params-Validate to 1.06:
Shut up warnings when XS is loaded on older 5.8.x Perl versions (CPAN RT#74742)
- Now that this problem is fixed, I've dropped the workaround of only building the Pure-Perl version on affected distributions
Updated perl-Sub-Uplevel to 0.24:
Added: the $Sub::Uplevel::CHECK_FRAMES global constant to enable the frame depth checking and compile it out if not needed
Fixed: Perl 5.15 series Carp changes output format of messages (adds a period); this fixes the test regular expressions
- This release shipped with a host of new author/release tests, so I added a bunch of build-requirements for them (some excluded when bootstrapping) and ran the additional tests too
Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 1.92:
Overload hash dereferencing on XML::LibXML::Elements, to provide access to the element's attributes (see XML::LibXML::AttributeHash for details)
Add more convenient methods to XML::LibXML::NodeList such as sort, map, grep, etc.
Printed some warnings regardless of if DEBUG is on
Fix for test failure of 1.91 on perls < 5.10 (CPAN RT#75195)
There's a curious failure of the t/72destruction.t test on RHEL-3 x86_64 (not on i386), after all of the subtests passed:
t/72destruction.....................dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 139, 0x8b) Scalar found where operator expected at (eval 153) line 1, near "'int' $__val" (Missing operator before $__val?) after all the subtests completed successfully t/80registryleak....................ok t/90threads.........................skipped all skipped: optional (set THREAD_TEST=1 to run these tests) t/pod...............................ok Failed 1/54 test scripts, 98.15% okay. 0/2379 subtests failed, 100.00% okay. Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/72destruction.t 0 139 1 0 0.00% ?? 3 tests skipped.As everything pretty well worked, I put this down to a weird bug in that ancient perl and just skipped that test for that particular build
