Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-Helpers to 0.018 in Rawhide:

    • Don't need Pod::Man

  • Petr Ĺ abata reviewed and approved my perl-ExtUtils-InstallPaths submission

  • Imported and built perl-ExtUtils-InstallPaths (0.009) for F-17, F-18, F-19, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6

  • Updated proftpd in F-18, F-19 and F20 to make sure it can switch back to root before closing PAM sessions so that they're closed properly and don't pollute the system logs with dbus reject messages (Bug #951728, upstream bug #3929)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-Helpers to 0.018 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-DateTime to 1.02:

    • When a constructor method like new() or today() was called on an object, you'd get an error message like 'Can't locate object method "_normalize_nanoseconds" via package "2013-04-15T00:00:00"' ; this has been fixed to provide a sane error message

    • When set_time_zone() is called with a name that matches the current time zone, DateTime now short circuits and avoids a lot of work

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-IP to 0.20:

    • Skip the IPV6_V6ONLY tests on machines lacking that constant

    • Avoid Socket::inet_pton() in unit tests as Strawberry lacks it

    • Added ->join_addr

    • Respect subclassing argument to ->accept

  • Updated proftpd as per the Fedora version
