Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.50 in Rawhide:

    • Fixed a problem where t/handle/external/50_external.t would crash if any of the test sites were not contactable

    • Now builds on VMS, added README.VMS

    • Fixed a few compiler warnings in SSLeay.xs; most of them are just signed/unsigned pointer mismatches but there is one that actually fixes returning what would be an arbitrary value off the stack from get_my_thread_id if it happened to be called in a non-threaded build

    • Added SSL_set_tlsext_host_name, SSL_get_servername, SSL_get_servername_type, SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback for server side Server Name Indication (SNI) support

    • Fixed a problem with C++ comments preventing builds on AIX and HPUX
    • perdition.org not available for tests, changed to www.open.com.au

    • Added SSL_FIPS_mode_set

    • Improvements to test suite so it succeeds with and without FIPS mode enabled
    • Added documentation, warning not to pass UTF-8 data in the content argument to post_https

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Mail-Sender to 0.8.22

  • Update perl-Net-DNS to 0.70_1:

    • Disambiguate ANY in rr_del auxiliary function (CPAN RT#81869)

    • Fix test failures on Perl 5.8.5 .. 5.8.8 due to lc(), uc() and case insensitive regex matching being broken for UTF8 (CPAN RT#81756)

    • NXDOMAIN no longer reported by $resolver->errorstring (CPAN RT#81787)

    • Allow zero in format, tag and algorithm fields of CERT RR (CPAN RT#81814)

    • Substitute last owner for leading spaces in multiline zonefile RR (CPAN RT#81786)

    • Make use of new extended header modus operandi for OPT records also in the resolver, preventing a warning (CPAN RT#77444)

  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.50 as per the Fedora version; I had to add a patch to support building with OpenSSL < 0.9.8f as the newly-introduced support for SSL_set_SSL_CTX didn't have the appropriate version guard (CPAN RT#81940)
