Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-MailTools to 2.09 in Rawhide:

    • Remove dependency to Test::Pod by moving 99pod.t from t/ to xt/ (CPAN RT#69918)

  • As there is no circular dependency, I retained perl(Test::Pod) as a build requirement and ran xt/99pod.t anyway

  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.45 in F-17 and Rawhide:

    • Added thread safety and dynamic locking, which should complete thread safety work, making Net::SSLeay completely thread-safe

    • Lots of improved documentation

Local Packages

    • Fixed bug where modules without $VERSION might have a version of '0' listed in 'provides' metadata, which will be rejected by PAUSE

    • Fixed bug in PodParser to allow numerals in module names

    • Fixed bug where giving arguments twice led to them becoming arrays, resulting in install paths like "ARRAY(0xdeadbeef)/lib/Foo.pm"

    • Fixed typo in Module::Build documentation (CPAN RT#67008)

    • Pod to HTML internals changed to support new Pod::Html work in the Perl core
