Friday 9th November 2012
Fedora Project
Fixed perl-OpenOffice-UNO to build in F-18 and Rawhide; this was the last perl module that had not yet been rebuilt since the update to perl 5.16, the problem being that Makefile.PL was looking for a library with sal in the name, which could end up using libsal_textenc (not the wanted library) or libuno_sal (the wanted one) and hence caused intermittent build failures depending on the directory search result order on the build machine
Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.09 in Rawhide:
For pre-reqs such as strict, warnings, etc., which ship with Perl, set the version requirement to 0 (CPAN RT#80663)

Friday 16th November 2012

perl-DateTime to 0.78:
Reverted the change to round nanoseconds up or down in various situations. Now we always round down. This avoids the case where rounding up would require us to then increment the second value (which could then require us to increment the minute, which could then require us to increment the hour, which could then ...). In other words, we don't want to round 2011-12-31T23:59:59.999999 up to 2012-01-01T00:00:00, because that would be insane. This applies to the return values for ->microsecond, ->millisecond, and the %N specifier for strftime (CPAN RT#79845)
Updated perl-Devel-StackTrace to 1.29:
Allow arguments to a trace's as_string method, specifically max_arg_length
Added a no_args option to the constructor in 1.26 but forgot to mention it in Changes (CPAN RT#71482)
The Devel::StackTrace->frames() method is now read-write, which allows you to do more complex filtering of frames than is easily possible with the frame_filter argument to the constructor
Updated perl-Exception-Class to 1.36:
Fixed some stupidity in the tests that appears to have been highlighted by recent changes to Devel::StackTrace (CPAN RT#81245)

Updated perl-Clone to 0.32:

Made the Changes file compliant to the CPAN::Changes specification
Fixed tests when Scalar::Util::weaken is not available
Removed dubious documentation on the optional parameter until it is 'fixed'; right now it just increases the refcount when it's 0, and clones otherwise - which isn't exactly what it says (CPAN RT#57773)
Updated remark on Storable's dclone() to address CPAN RT#50174
Updated Makefile.PL to include test dependencies

Work around systems that don't define AF_INET6 (CPAN RT#81216)
Prepare transition to a more secure default for SSL_verify_mode; the use of the current default SSL_VERIFY_NONE will cause a big warning for clients, unless SSL_verify_mode was explicitly set inside the application to this insecure value (in the near future the default will be SSL_VERIFY_PEER, and thus causing verification failures in unchanged applications)
