    • Make HTTP output header parsing more consistent - and catch more errors

    • Add exec_cgi and exec_trusted_perl methods to HTTP

    • Add bugfix for ipv=>"*" combined with UNIX sockets

    • Fix the SSL_test.t to use exit rather than quit so the parent departs

Saturday 2nd June 2012

Fedora Project

  • Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade reviewed and approved my package submissions for data packages for pari, which are used in the pari 2.5.x test suite:

    • pari-elldata - imported and built for F-16, F-17, Rawhide, EL-5 and EL-6

    • pari-galdata - imported and built for F-16, F-17, Rawhide, EL-5 and EL-6

    • pari-seadata - imported and built for Rawhide (not supported by older versions of pari in existing branches)

Sunday 3rd June 2012

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Test-File to 1.34:

Monday 4th June 2012

Local Packages

  • Updated python-zope-interface to 4.0.1:

    • Dropped explicit "DeprecationWarnings" for "class advice" APIS (these APIs are still deprecated under Python 2.x, and still raise an exception under Python 3.x, but no longer cause a warning to be emitted under Python 2.x)

Tuesday 5th June 2012

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Sub-Exporter to 0.984 (documentation fixes) and fixed some unwanted requires/provides generated as a result of including the test suite as documentation

Wednesday 6th June 2012

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Sub-Exporter to 0.984 (documentation fixes) in Rawhide and fixed some unwanted requires/provides generated as a result of including the test suite as documentation

Local Packages

  • Removed the redundant nmap-5.20-nostrip.patch and rebuilt nmap

  • Updated perl-DBI to 1.622:

    • Fixed lack of =encoding in non-ASCII pod docs (CPAN RT#77588)

    • Corrected typo in DBI::ProfileDumper

  • Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.49:

    • This is a maintenance release - the code contains no functional change; satisfied users of version 0.48 can skip this update

    • Fix CPAN RT#77644: t/17_ctl.t fails in test 44 since 5.17.0

    • t/99-kwalitee.t will be skipped when only problematic versions of its dependencies are available

  • Updated the python-twisted stack to 12.1.0

Thursday 7th June 2012

Fedora Project

  • Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Class-Load, perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML, perl-Module-Implementation, perl-Package-DeprecationManager, perl-Test-Synopsis and perl-Test-Version in Rawhide

Local Packages

  • Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Algorithm-Diff, perl-Class-Singleton, perl-Convert-BinHex, perl-Convert-UUlib and perl-CPAN-DistnameInfo

  • Updated perl-Net-Server to 2.003:

    • Make the logging system pluggable

    • Added net-server server executor for writing easier one line servers

    • Sys::Syslog and Log::Log4perl are now moved out to their own module subsystems

    • Added full apache-style HTTP log formatting for the HTTP server

    • Allow for ipv to be specified as part of host, or proto, or passed via $ENV{'IPV'}

    • Add apache-style access logging (access_log_file and access_log_format) to HTTP

    • Allow HTTP header parsing to not untaint the headers

    • Fix missing legacy NS_unix_path call (missing since 2.000)

    • Fix a bug in MultiType that prevented calling server_type HTTP

  • I filtered the resulting perl(Log::Log4perl) dependency for the time being as most users won't need or want it and I can't currently support it on all distributions; at some point I'll be able to do that and will probably then make a sub-package for Net::Server::Log::Log::Log4perl so that only people that really need that pull in the dependencies

  • Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.062 (documentation updates)

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.028:

    • Replace all uses of YAML::Any with YAML, since they come in the same distro, and YAML does not suffer from deprecation warnings

I have also now started the long process of mass-rebuilding all perl packages for perl 5.16.0 in Rawhide.

Friday 8th June 2012

Fedora Project

    • NOTE: Version 2.005 will change the default ipv value to *, meaning it will attempt to bind IPv4 and IPv6 if they are available if you pass a hostname

    • Bugfix: prefilter ran multiple times on inline subtemplates compiled into several main templates (Forum Topic 21325)

    • Bugfix: implement Smarty2's behaviour of variables assigned by reference in SmartyBC; {assign} will affect all references (Issue 88)

    • Bugfix: template inheritance did not throw exception when a parent template was deleted (Issue 90)

    • Bugfix: "\\" was not escaped correctly when generating nocache code (Forum Topic 21364)

    • New shortcut opena(), to open a file for appending

    • New spew() method that does the inverse of the slurp() method

    • Fixed a typo in a class name in the docs for Path::Class::Entity

  • Updated perl-Test-EOL to 1.2 in Rawhide:

    • Fix bad regex matching directories containing 'svn', not just '.svn' directories (CPAN RT#75968)

  • I had to manually expand the tabs in the bundled Module-Install distribution to prevent the release tests failing, which I raised as CPAN RT#77838

    • Try harder to get the complete input parsed for the current record when hitting errors on parsing seekable IO (only works in 5.14.0 and up)

    • Tested with perl 5.6.1..5.17.0 (99 versions of perl) on Linux, HP-UX, AIX, and Windows

    • UTF8 flag was not always reset when using bound variables

  • Updated unrar to 4.20 final:

    • RAR general decompression algorithm speed is slightly improved, though not to the same extent as RAR compression; RAR decompression is not able to use several processor cores, so its performance does not depend on a number of cores

  • Updated perl-Test-Deep to 0.110:

    • Allow methods() and listmethods() to work again on class methods (CPAN RT#77804)

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-IP to 0.15:

    • (Hopefully) improved ->connect logic for better MSWin32 support

    • Skip testing AI_NUMERICSERV on OSes that don't support it

    • 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
