Fedora Project

  • Updated gnome-libs in Rawhide to avoid the need for automake14 and build with -fno-strict-aliasing

  • Updated perl-Data-Alias to 1.17 in Rawhide:

    • Bugfix: correct the dtrace-related macro squashing for Perls prior to 5.13.8, where the macros had the wrong number of parameters and prevented compilation

    • Bugfix: use core's PL_no_localize_ref string constant as data string rather than format string

    • Update to handle the new padrange op type in Perl 5.17.6

    • Update to handle the new op allocation mechanism in Perl 5.17.2
    • Clarify and expand documentation around list-like assignments

    • Clarify documentation of deref() regarding lvalueness

    • Remove the bulk of the documentation from the README file

  • Updated perl-MIME-Types to 2.01 in Rawhide:

    • Add dummy ::Types::create_type_index() because Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple calls it :(

Local Packages

  • Big update of GeoIP to merge functionality from geoip-geolite:

    • Properly provide all of the GeoLite databases and their IPv6 equivalents, as per the geoip-geolite package that we're obsoleting/providing

    • No longer try to update the databases in %post

    • Maintain timestamps where possible

    • Set up GeoIP.dat symlink in package and don't touch it again

    • Add update6 package to update the IPv6 databases; have to use wget for this rather than geoipupdate as the databases are still in beta
