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
