Fedora Project

  • Richard Jones updated libssh2 in Rawhide to include 3 patches from upstream required for the qemu SSH block driver, which was fine, but also "modernized" the spec, which of course broke EL-5 compatibility, so I reverted that part of the change and did another build myself

  • Petr Ĺ abata kindly reviewed and approved my perl-Devel-GlobalDestruction-XS submission, identifying a redundant explicit dependency on perl(XSLoader), so I removed that

  • Imported and built perl-Devel-GlobalDestruction-XS for F-17, F-18, F-19, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot (2.1) to make sure the dovecot executables are hardened

  • Updated libssh2 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Devel-GlobalDestruction-XS to remove the redundant explicit dependency on perl(XSLoader) as per the Fedora version

  • Updated xz to fix manual page inconsistencies with help output (Private Bug #948533) and to enable/fix the 'xzgrep -h' (Private Bug #850898)
