Local Repository
I am no longer going to support distributions prior to Fedora Core 3 in my repository. This means that I have end-of-lifed my Red Hat Linux 9, Fedora Core 1, Fedora Core 2 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 repositories and will be doing no further builds for them. Of course these distributions were end-of-lifed a long time ago upstream so this should come as no surprise. As Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 has also reached end of life upstream, I will be end-of-lifing my support for distributions prior to Fedora Core 6 (i.e. Fedora Core 3, 4 and 5, plus Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4) later this year. Not sure how much later that will be - anybody still using my repositories for those distributions please contact me and we can discuss it.
Local Packages
Updated cdrtools to 3.01 alpha release 7
Updated dovecot to enable the fts_lucene plugin for F-16 onwards (Bug #798661)
Got rid of the libspf2 version 1.0.4 package and added devel etc. subpackages to the compat-libspf2 package instead
Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.120620:
CPAN::Meta::Requirements::add_string_requirements now allows building a requirements specification piecemeal
Version range handling fixed (CPAN RT#75424)
CPAN::Meta::Converter handles bad version strings more gracefully, truncating alphanumerics and otherwise falling back to "0"; this is likely to be better than dropping a prerequisite or dying (CPAN RT#75427)
- I dropped the hacks in this package that were needed to support any distribution prior to FC-3, which I'll be doing in the next updates of all of my packages
Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 1.44:
- This release is based on version 2012b of the Olson database
- Contemporary changes for Cuba
Updated perl-File-Find-Rule-Perl to drop the workaround for old Params::Util versions and BR: perl(Params::Util) ≥ 0.38 instead
Updated perl-Perl-MinimumVersion to downgrade its List::Util version requirement to 1.14 to support building on Fedora Core 3; with Perl::Critic now being available there, I now have the latest upstream Perl::MinimumVersion on all of my supported distributions
Updated perl-Pod-Simple to 3.20:
Removed use of 'done_testing' in t/xhtml15.t, which was added in v3.19
Fixed quoting of links in a regular expression Pod::Simple::Text
Fix test failure on case-insensitive, non-case-preserving file systems (VMS I'm looking at you)
Pod::Simple::HTML no longer emits "href='#___top'" if a TOC (index) is not output
Fixed links in the TOC of XHTML output to use IDs derived from encoded text, rather than raw Pod, so that it will link to the ID actually generated for the section (CPAN RT#72544)
PullParser now throws an exception on an attempt to set a source more than once, which is necessary because data from the previous source will be cached, so the new source would be ignored anyway; create a new PullParser instead (CPAN RT#74265)
Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-PPI, bumping the Params::Util version requirement to 1.00 as per upstream
Updated perl-Test-ClassAPI to drop the workaround for old Params::Util versions and BR: perl(Params::Util) ≥ 1.00 instead
Updated spfmilter to build against compat-libspf2 rather than libspf2
