Local Packages

  • Updated getmail to 4.29.0, including a patch from upstream to fix an issue with expunging IMAP mailboxes after deleting messages:

    • Ensure getmail exits nonzero if various error conditions (like POP/IMAP authentication failure) occur

    • Work around bug in python < 2.5.0 when dealing with read-only IMAP mailboxes

    • Do IMAP modified-utf7 conversion of mailbox names containing non-ASCII characters

    • Add special ALL value for retrieving mail from all selectable IMAP mailboxes in the account

    • Change IMAP retrieval strategy to retrieve all messages from a mailbox, then move on to the next mailbox, etc., which should result in increased speed but if you set 'max_messages_per_session' too low, this could result in later mailboxes not being retrieved from

    • Update old contact information for Free Software Foundation
    • Fix incorrect character encoding in plaintext documentation
  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.68:

    • Updated for v5.17.1
  • Updated perl-Net-Server to 2.006:

    • Allow for case where host is *, and IO::Socket::INET6 is installed, but IPv6 doesn't really work

    • Add missing child_init_hook in Fork server (so Fork can be more parallel with PreFork in some respects)

    • Change BOUND_SOCKETS passing to use ; as a separator rather than a \n

  • Updated perl-XML-SAX-Expat to register/unregister parser with XML::SAX on install/removal

  • Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-File-Find-Rule

  • Rebuilt tidy again to address multilib conflict caused by doxygen-generated documentation (Bug #831423)
