Fedora Project
Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Readonly and perl-Readonly-XS in F-17 and Rawhide, the biggest change being to get rid of the tests subpackages and re-integrating them with the main package
Local Packages
Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 1.43:
- This release is based on version 2012a of the Olson database
- Contemporary changes for Armenia, Chile, the Falkland Islands, and Tokelau
Updated perl-Params-Util to 1.06:
Restore compatibility with pre-5.8.8 Perls without a working compiler available at install time (CPAN RT#74912)
Remove the need for the sanexs.c file by generating into a temporary file instead
With suitable tweaking of required Scalar::Utils versions, this version builds and passes its test suite all the way back to RHL-9 with Scalar::Util 1.09, so I dropped the branch of version 0.17 I'd kept around for old distributions
Updated perl-Moose to drop the patch I had to support using it with old Params::Util versions and made it build-require perl(Params::Util) ≥ 1.00 instead
Updated perl-Perl-Critic to bundle Test::More, Test::Builder and Test::Builder::Module 0.92 and put them in inc/; this enables us to get Perl::Critic built and tested OK on FC-3, FC-4 and RHEL-4, and other workarounds for old Test::More versions aren't needed
Older distributions with Exporter < 5.58 still won't work, failing with:
":color_severity" is not exported by the Perl::Critic::Utils::Constants module
Updated perl-Perl-Critic-More to hack t/20_policies_codelayout.t to get it to work with perl < 5.8.8:
Perls/Perl::Critics prior to 5.8.8 seem to have trouble parsing the Japanese text, and end up with a string containing the same text twice, causing two violations instead of one. This slight change to the syntax, in line with the rest of the tests, eliminates this issue. --- t/20_policies_codelayout.t +++ t/20_policies_codelayout.t @@ -53,7 +53,9 @@ #---------------------------------------------------------------- $code = <<'END_PERL'; -print "日本語\n"; +print <<'EOF'; +日本語 +EOF END_PERL $policy = 'CodeLayout::RequireASCII';
Built perl-Perl-Critic-Lax and perl-Test-Perl-Critic for FC-3, FC-4 and RHEL-4 since Perl::Critic is now available for those distributions
Rebuilt perl-Readonly and perl-Readonly-XS to re-sync with the Fedora versions
Updated php4-pcntl to get it to build with pcre 8.30 in Rawhide, using a similar patch to the one added for PHP 5.x:
Replace the long-deprecated pcre_info() with pcre_fullinfo() https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60986 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402357#c10 --- php-4.4.9/ext/pcre/php_pcre.c +++ php-4.4.9/ext/pcre/php_pcre.c @@ -154,10 +154,11 @@ regex_len = strlen(regex); if (zend_hash_find(&PCRE_G(pcre_cache), regex, regex_len+1, (void **)&pce) == SUCCESS) { /* - * We use a quick pcre_info() check to see whether cache is corrupted, and if it + * We use a quick pcre_fullinfo() check to see whether cache is corrupted, and if it * is, we flush it and compile the pattern from scratch. */ - if (pcre_info(pce->re, NULL, NULL) == PCRE_ERROR_BADMAGIC) { + int count = 0; + if (pcre_fullinfo(pce->re, NULL, PCRE_INFO_CAPTURECOUNT, &count) == PCRE_ERROR_BADMAGIC) { zend_hash_clean(&PCRE_G(pcre_cache)); } else { #if HAVE_SETLOCALERebuilt php4-pcntl-gtk using -fno-strict-aliasing since the code is full of dubious pointer conversions
Built perl-DBD-CSV and perl-SQL-Statement for FC-1 and FC-2 since their requirement of Params::Util 1.x is now available
Friday 2nd March 2012
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

ptar now supports -T option (CPAN RT#75473)
ptar now supports dashless options (CPAN RT#75475)
Auto-encode filenames marked as UTF-8 (CPAN RT#75474)
Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.120630:
CPAN::Meta::Requirements now ensures that dotted-decimal versions are represented in normalized form when stringified, which fixes a regression in META conversion in 2.120620
Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 1.45:
Remove the dependency on DateTime and DateTime::Duration that was accidentally added in 1.43 (CPAN RT#75508)

Branched and built perl-Probe-Perl (0.01) (Bug #463711)
Branched and built perl-Test-Script (1.06) (Bug #251128)
Requested that perl-PPI be updated to ≥ 1.201 (Bug #803301)
Requested that perl-Params-Util be updated to ≥ 0.38 (Bug #803307)
Requested that perl-YAML-Tiny be updated to ≥ 1.40 (Bug #803340) (actually it turned out that this is only needed in recent versions of perl-Test-MinimumVersion, but not by version 0.011 which is the one I intend to build in EPEL-5 - same as the EL-6 version)
Branched and prepared perl-File-Find-Rule-Perl (1.09) (Bug #392261), which I can't build until perl-Params-Util is updated
Branched and prepared perl-Perl-MinimumVersion (1.20) (Bug #392271), which I can't build until perl-PPI is updated and perl-File-Find-Rule-Perl is built
Updated perl-Test-MinimumVersion in git to 0.011-2.1 as per the EL-6 package, which I can't build until all of the previously-listed dependencies are satisfied

Updated mod_fcgid (only in git) to add CVE reference (CVE-2012-1181) to previous update (i.e. the issue was already fixed in January but it wasn't considered a security issue and hence no CVE number)
Local Packages
Updated dovecot (2.0) to update dovecot to 2.0.19:
IMAP: ENABLE CONDSTORE/QRESYNC + STATUS for a mailbox might not have seen latest external changes to it, like new mails
imap_id_* settings were ignored before login
doveadm altmove did too much work sometimes, retrying moves it had already done
mbox: fixed accessing Dovecot v1.x mbox index files without errors
and pigeonhole to 0.2.6:
This release fixes unintentional behaviour of the include extension: included script names with a name like "name.sieve" would implicitly map to a script file called "name.sieve" and not "name.sieve.sieve" (keep in mind that the .sieve file extension has no meaning from within the Sieve language; a Sieve script is always stored with an appended .sieve file extension, even when the name already ends with a .sieve suffix)
Important: Some installations have relied on this unintentional feature, so check your script includes for issues before upgrading
Matched changes regarding auth_verbose setting in Dovecot
Fixed problem in ManageSieve that caused it to omit a WARNINGS response code when the uploaded script compiled with warnings
Made sure that locations of Sieve error never report "line 0"
- Fixed potential segfault occurring when interpreter initialization fails
Updated dovecot to 2.1.2:
Initial implementation of dsync-based replication; for now this should be used only on non-critical systems
proxying: POP3 now supports sending remote IP+port from proxy to backend server via Dovecot-specific XCLIENT extension
proxying: proxy_maybe=yes with host=<hostname> (instead of IP) now works properly
proxying: added auth_proxy_self setting
proxying: added proxy_always extra field (see wiki docs)
Added director_username_hash setting to specify what part of the username is hashed; this can be used to implement per-domain backends (which allows safely accessing shared mailboxes within domain)
Added a "session ID" string for imap/pop3 connections, available in %{session} variable; the session ID passes through Dovecot IMAP/POP3 proxying to backend server (the same session ID is can be reused after a long time, currently a little under 9 years)
passdb checkpassword: support "credentials lookups" (for non-plaintext auth and for lmtp_proxy lookups)
fts: added fts_index_timeout setting to abort search if indexing hasn't finished by then (default is to wait forever)
doveadm sync: if mailbox was expunged empty, messages may have come back instead of also being expunged in the other side
director: if user logged into two directors while near user expiration, the directors might have redirected the user to two different backends
imap_id_* settings were ignored before login
Several fixes to mailbox_list_index=yes
- Previous v2.1.x didn't log all messages at shutdown
mbox: fixed accessing Dovecot v1.x mbox index files without errors
Updated libssh2 as per the Fedora version
Updated mod_fcgid (only in svn) to add CVE reference (CVE-2012-1181) to previous update (i.e. the issue was already fixed in January but it wasn't considered a security issue and hence no CVE number)

Removed unused version.pm prereq
Fix/work around circular reference memory leaks (CPAN RT#53710)
Parse::RecDescent::AUTOLOAD did not correctly handle initializing the line counting mechanism when a reference to a scalar was passed to the parser (CPAN RT#27705)
Restore old _parserepeat calling convention: change a parser's DESTROY method to check for $self->{_not_precompiled} instead of $self->{_precompiled} (CPAN RT#74593)
Updated perl-Module-ExtractUse to recompile the grammar in order to work with Parse::RecDescent ≥ 1.967009 (CPAN RT#74879)
Updated perl-Symbol-Util to 0.0203:
Compiles cleanly with Perl 5.14: defined(%hash) and defined(@array) are deprecated (CPAN RT#75763)
- Minor changes in POD
Updated perl-Test-Requires to not build-require perl(Test::Perl::Critic) when bootstrapping so as to avoid circular build dependencies
Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 0.88:
Fix for $/ in 0.86 broke parsing fields that contain excessive $/'s
Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 1.96:
Add leading minus signs to the commands of install_sax_driver, which makes the make process succeed even if they fail (CPAN RT#75007)
Skip t/49callbacks_returning_undef.t with perl(URI) < 1.35 (http://www.city-fan.org/tips/PaulHowarth/Blog/2011-09-06)
