Fedora Project

• Reviewed and approved IainArnell's perl-MetaCPAN-API package submission

Local Packages

• Updated contagged to add support for Apache httpd 2.4.x, which was just a few lines that needed changing in the config snippet:

  • The default configuration allows access only from localhost, which for httpd 2.2 is:

  • ### By default this application is only accessible from the local host
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Allow from ::1

  • and for httpd 2.4 is:

  • ### By default this application is only accessible from the local host
    Require local

  • The alternative configuration allows access from everywhere, which used to be:

  • ### To allow access from everywhere, comment out the 4 previous lines and
    ### uncomment the following two lines
    #Order allow,deny
    #Allow from all

  • and is now:

  • ### To allow access from everywhere, comment out the previous line and
    ### uncomment the following line
    #Require all granted

  • I also added a note with the LDAPTrustedGlobalCert entry for ldaps support that it needs mod_ldap, since this is no longer bundled with the httpd package with httpd 2.4 in Rawhide:

  • ### For ldaps support, Apache 2.4.x (needs mod_ldap)
    #LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_BASE64 /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapd-ca.crt

• Updated perl-Test-CPAN-Meta to 0.21:

  • CPAN RT#76609: Further spelling fix

  • Removed DSLIP info

• Updated perl-YAML to 0.81:

  • Test fixes for 5.16 (CPAN RT#74826)

  • YAML::Mo uses Safe Mo (CPAN RT#76664)

• The revised fixes for compatibility with old B::Deparse versions in this release don't actually work, so I added an additional patch to fix that and attached it to CPAN RT#74826:
