Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.09 in Rawhide:

    • The has_test_pod, has_test_pod_coverage tests have been removed - they are classified as 'extra', and have been largely considered to be a bad idea anyway (these are often shipped as, and ought to be, in xt/)

    • The extractable test has been removed, as it does nothing in dists before there is a tarball present

    • New tests have been added: all standard kwalitee tests that can be run on a bare distribution without a tarball

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Module-Build to 0.4007:

    • Significantly sped up some tests by not forcing HTML docs to be built when the user's configuration doesn't ask for them anyway

    • The Module::Metadata package was split out from this distro back in 2010; removed its regression tests

    • Removed dependence on IO::File, replacing it with safe invocations of open()

    • Added an 'extra_manify_args' parameter to facilitate man pages containing Unicode

    • Added an '--html_links 0' argument for the 'html' action, which can hugely speed things up; the main effect is speeding up the M::B tests themselves

    • Fix hash argument parsing in subclasses
    • Revised detildification on VMS

    • Fix run_test_harness for case when $Switches is an empty string

    • Removed undeclared test dependency on parent.pm

    • Declared dependency on Pod::Man 2.17 for utf8 support

    • Force generation of man pages in manify_with_utf8.t

  • I added a patch for CPAN RT#87033 so that a version of Pod::Man as recent as 2.17 isn't needed
