Sunday 5th May 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000012 in F-19 and Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-Test-Spelling to 0.19 in F-19 and Rawhide:

    • Improved Coro::State documentation a bit

    • Coro::Debug::command now flushes the output

    • Add hack detection code for x32 ABI, because the braindead slugs who designed that made it look exactly like x86_64 without providing proper compile-time symbols to test for it; as a result, this detection cannot work reliably

    • valgrind stack registering was broken

    • Do not rely on Time::HiRes anymore in Coro::Debug

FA Cup Final

Went to Wembley for the FA Cup Final. Nice day out apart from the football; best part of 40,000 City fans turned up but unfortunately the team didn't. Stayed to watch the trophy presentation and applaud Wigan, who thoroughly deserved their win and their bit of history. Pleased for Dave Whelan in particular. Good luck to Wigan for Tuesday night at Arsenal too; it would be a shame for them to be the first club to win the Cup and get relegated in the same season.

Sunday 12th May 2013

Local Packages

  • Updated c-ares to 1.10.0:

    • Added ares_create_query(), to be used instead of ares_mkquery()

    • ares_inet_ntop() and ares_inet_pton() are now recognized c-ares functions

    • Include the ares_parse_soa_reply.* files in the tarball

    • config-dos.h: define strerror() to strerror_s_() for High-C

    • config-dos.h: define HAVE_CLOSE_S for MSDOS/Watt-32

    • ares_build.h.dist: enhance non-configure GCC ABI detection logic

    • ares.h: stricter CARES_EXTERN linkage decorations logic

    • ares_cancel(): cancel requests safely

    • Protocol parsing: check input data more strictly
    • Library init: be recursive, reference count inits/cleanups

    • ares_parse_txt_reply: return a ares_txt_reply node for each sub-string

    • ares_set_servers_csv: fixed IPv6 address parsing

    • Build: fix build on msvc11

Monday 13th May 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.05 in F-19 and Rawhide:

    • More rigorous testing of output; in order to make this possible, now we do END { done_testing } instead of planning a test count

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-autodie to 2.19:

    • Bugfix: Loading a file that does not change packages while autodie in effect no longer causes weird behaviour when slurpy built-ins (like open() and unlink()) are called (GH #22)

    • Test: More testing in scope_leak.t

    • Test: More testing around packages in truncate.t

    • Test: Tests for leak guard failures for slurpy core functions

    • Speed/Internal: Significant improvements in load time, especially when autodie is used across multiple files, by caching re-usable subroutines and reducing calls to eval "" (CPAN RT#46984)

    • Documentation: Spelling and correction fixes

    • Devel: Faster and more robust testing with travis-ci

    • Devel: Some simple benchmarks bundled in the benchmarks/ directory

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexpto 0.034:

    • Correct spelling and grammar errors in POD and comments (CPAN RT#85050)

  • Updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.05 as per the Fedora version; since this new version now requires done_testing from Test::Builder, Fedora 10 and older releases are stuck with version 1.04 - their Test::Builder versions are too old

  • Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 2.0018:

    • Revert previous change of minimal version of libxml2, which proved to be unpopular and didn't prevent the CPAN test failures

Tuesday 14th May 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated pari to 2.5.4 (bug fix release) in Rawhide

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.89 in Rawhide:

    • If IO::Socket::IP is used it should be at least version 0.20; otherwise we get problems with HTTP::Daemon::SSL and maybe others (CPAN RT#81932)

    • Spelling corrections

  • I only did this update in Rawhide because F-19 does not have IO::Socket::IP ≥ 0.20

  • Updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.06 in F-19 and Rawhide:

    • Restore previous behaviour of plan()ing in import, to unbreak some dists that didn't follow the docs (which in this case is ok since it's a horrible idea for a Test module to plan itself anyway) (v1.05)

    • More diagnostic data is printed when a test fails (CPAN RT#85107)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.89 as per the Fedora version

    • Allow Ssl arg as an arrayref to pass args to IO::Socket::SSL

    • No need to Massage() the folder name in uidnext()

    • get_envelope() fails when subject ends with backslash (CPAN RT#84028)

    • move()/copy() with sequence caused numeric warning (CPAN RT#79476)

    • move()/copy() no longer sort message(s) provided by caller

  • Updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.06 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test-CheckDeps to 0.004 as per the Fedora version

Thursday 16th May 2013

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to update pigeonhole to 0.4.0:

    • Added doveadm-sieve plugin that provides the possibility to synch Sieve scripts using doveadm sync along with the user's mailboxes

    • Added the Sieve extprograms plugin to the main Pigeonhole package; it is still a plugin, but it is now included so that a separate compile is no longer necessary and distributors are likely to include it

    • Added debug message showing Pigeonhole version at initialization, which makes it very clear that the plugin is properly loaded

    • Finished implementation of the Sieve include extension, which should now fully conform to RFC 6609; the main addition is the new :optional tag, which makes the include command ignore missing included scripts without an error

    • Finished implementation of the Sieve environment extension as much as possible; environment items "location", "phase" and "domain" now also return a usable value

Friday 17th May 2013

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DBI to 1.627:

    • Fixed VERSION regression in DBI::SQL::Nano

Saturday 18th May 2013

    • Updated for v5.18.0

Monday 20th May 2013

Fedora Project

  • Overhauled the milter-greylist package in Rawhide and F-19 to make it more like most other server packages in Fedora, with the appropriate initscripts included in the main package rather than being sub-packaged

  • Updated milter-greylist to 4.5.1 in F-19 and Rawhide:

    • More Solaris build fixes

    • Fix swapped %f and %r for stats example in default greylist.conf

    • Support p0f v3.06 and up with --with-p0f-src or --enable-p0f306

    • DNS update support

    • "make clean" clears milter-greylist.spec

    • Add IPv6 support for MX sync

    • Accept a --create_packlist argument

  • Updated perl-Data-Section-Simple to use Module::Build::Tiny's new --create_packlist option

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.2.2:

    • zlib: keep the last mail cached uncompressed in a temp file, which fixes performance when doing small partial fetches from a large mail

    • acl: if plugin { acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes } is set, get the default ACLs for private and shared namespaces from the user's INBOX (this probably will become default in v2.3)

    • pop3: added pop3_deleted_flag setting to switch POP3 deletions to only hide the messages from POP3, but still be visible via IMAP

    • ACL plugin: mailbox creation wasn't actually checking any ACLs and always succeeded (due to some v2.2 API changes); the created mailbox couldn't have been accessed though, so this couldn't have caused any data leak

    • IMAP: Various URLAUTH fixes

    • IMAP: Fixed a hang with invalid APPEND parameters

    • IMAP LIST-EXTENDED: INBOX was never listed with \Subscribed flag

    • mailbox_list_index=yes still caused crashes

    • maildir: fixed a crash after dovecot-keywords file was re-read

    • maildir: if files had reappeared unexpectedly to a maildir, they were ignored until index files were deleted

    • maildir: fixed handling over 26 keywords in a mailbox

    • maildir++: fixed mail_shared_explicit_inbox=no

    • namespace { prefix="" list=no } was listing mailboxes

    • imap/pop3-login proxying: fixed a crash if TCP connection succeeded, but the remote login timed out

    • Case-insensitive search/sort didn't work correctly for all unicode characters, as specified by i;unicode-casemap comparator; If full text search indexes were used, they need to be rebuilt for old mails to be handled correctly (this bug has existed always in Dovecot)

    • config: added missing auth-dict.conf.ext to distribution

  • Updated perl-Module-Build-Tiny to 0.020 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.91:

    • Updated for v5.19.0

  • Updated perl-Data-Section-Simple to use Module::Build::Tiny's new --create_packlist option, as per the Fedora version

Tuesday 21st May 2013

Fedora Project

    • Replace ExtUtils::MY_Metafile with META_MERGE in Makefile.PL

  • Updated perl-YAML-Syck to 1.27 in Rawhide:

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to make some minor spec file changes:

    • Use the %{_tmpfilesdir} macro (Bug #964448)

    • Drop %defattr, which is redundant since rpm 4.4 and I'm not building it for anything with an older version of rpm than that

  • Updated perl-Devel-StackTrace not to build-require perl(Test::Spelling) when bootstrapping (to avoid a circular build dependency), and not to run the release tests either, since they'd fail without it

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-INET6 to 2.70:

    • Fix a typo (CPAN RT#73143)

    • Add t/style-trailing-space.t and get rid of trailing space

  • Updated perl-SQL-Statement to 1.404:

    • Fix documentation (CPAN RT#84889, CPAN RT#85257)

    • Re-enable clean-up of test_output* after test done

    • Recommend Text::Soundex and do soundex-test only when we have it, because it's going to be removed from core for Perl 5.19

    • When canonicalising, only allocate up to 64 hash key pointers on the stack; for larger hashes, use the heap, to avoid using too much stack space

    • Discuss the problem with setlocale

  • Updated perl-Moose to 2.1001:

    • Fixed the Num builtin type to reject NaN, Inf, numbers with whitespace, and other questionable strings (CPAN RT#70539); MooseX::Types::LaxNum contains the old behaviour

Sunday 26th May 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.069 in Rawhide:

    • Add proper pod encoding in Lite.pm

    • Changed Makefile.PL to check for config.h when building for XS with 'gcc', try building with 'cc', and check again; if config.h is not found, force Pure Perl mode

    • Kill XS in winduhs and Darwin, both of which misbehave when compiling XS code

Local Packages

Wednesday 29th May 2013

Fedora Project

    • Support more digests, especially SHA-2 (CPAN RT#85290)

    • Added support for easy SSL interception (man in the middle) based on ideas found in mojo-mitm proxy

    • Make 1.46 the minimal required version for Net::SSLeay, because it introduced lots of useful functions

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.131490:

    • Downconversion of custom resources was not dropping the leading "x_"; now, "x_MailingList" will downconvert correctly to "MailingList"

    • Per the Lancaster Consensus, the 'file' subkey of a package listed in 'provides' must refer to an actual file in the distribution, either the .pm file that provides the package or another file (*.PL) that generates it

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.90 as per the Fedora version, except for F-3 and RHEL-4, as the updated version now requires openssl ≥ 0.9.7e for the P_ASN1_TIME_get_isotime and P_ASN1_TIME_set_isotime functions in Net::SSLeay

  • Updated ppp to make the radius plugin config parser less strict (Bug #906913)

Friday 31st May 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.93 in Rawhide:

    • Need at least OpenSSL version 0.9.8 now, since last 0.9.7 was released 6 years ago; remove code to work around older releases

    • Changed AUTHOR in Makefile.PL from array back to string, because the array feature is not available in MakeMaker shipped with 5.8.9 (CPAN RT#85739)

  • Updated perl-Module-ExtractUse to 0.31 in Rawhide:

    • Support use Foo::Bar (); etc. (CPAN RT#50723)
