Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-DBM-Deep to 2.0007 in Rawhide:

    • Include one-line descriptions of each POD page after the name (CPAN RT#76378)

    • t/98_pod.t: skip tests if Pod::Simple 3.21 is installed (CPAN RT#77419)

  • Updated perl-Module-CPANTS-Analyse to 0.86 in Rawhide:

    • Add several strict and warnings equivalents and make it easy to add more

    • Fix when Moose is used and strict is not used

    • Add info about MIN_PERL_VERSION

    • Better remedy for metayml_declares_perl_version

    • metayml_declares_perl_version moved from experimental to extra

    • Some pod improvements

    • Fix CPAN RT#65903 - no more Test::YAML::Meta::Version on CPAN

    • Replace YAML::Syck with YAML::Any

    • no_symlinks checks only files in MANIFEST, use "maniread" in ExtUtils::Manifest

    • Add more equivalents for use_strict and use_warnings tests

    • Implement valid_signature metric

  • I also switched the build to use the ExtUtils::MakeMaker flow as we don't have Module::Build ≥ 0.40 in Rawhide yet

Local Packages

  • New package perl-File-chdir (0.1006)

  • New package perl-Set-Scalar (1.25)

  • Updated curl to use human-readable error messages provided by NSS (upstream commit 72f4b534)

  • Updated perl-Archive-Tar to bump epoch to 1 for EL-5 only to match upstream vendor's package; no other supported release uses an epoch

  • Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.51:

    • Packaging cleanup, including listing Test::More as a test prereq, not a runtime prereq (CPAN RT#76128)

  • Updated perl-DBM-Deep to 2.0007 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Mail-Sender to 0.8.21:

    • Fixed the case in the header names (Content-type -> Content-Type)

    • Fixed the encoding of non-ASCII stuff in headers (RFC 2047)

    • Fixed using the ctype even for body with MailFile

  • Updated perl-Module-CPANTS-Analyse to 0.86 as per the Fedora version, except there was no need to switch to ExtUtils::MakeMaker

  • Updated perl-Pod-Simple to 3.22:

    • Fix bug where Pod::Simple would whine about non-ASCII bytes in code or comments - now only does so for Pod (in the absence of an "=encoding" tag)

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.027:

    • Eliminate unescaped literal "{" characters in regexps in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Backreference and PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::Simple; these are deprecated in 5.17.0

  • Updated unrar to 4.20 beta 3
