Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 to 2.062 in Rawhide (no changes)

  • Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma to 2.062 in Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib to 2.062 in Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-IO-Compress to 2.062 in Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-IO-Compress-Lzma to 2.062 in Rawhide:

  • Fixed perl-TAP-Formatter-JUnit FTBFS (Bug #992724, CPAN RT#81552), which was failing due to hash randomization in Perl 5.18

  • Strictly speaking, this was a test suite issue since the module's generated XML remains valid, but some attributes are output in a different order than expected by the test suite. However, since I couldn't think of any simple way to make the tests more forgiving of the order of the attributes in the XML, I tweaked the code to use Tie::IxHash to ensure that the generated XML has the attributes in the same order as the tests expect them.

  • For example, there was existing code like this: 
  •     my @tests = @{$self->testcases()};
    my %attrs = (
        'name'     => _get_testsuite_name($self),
        'tests'    => $testsrun,
        'failures' => $failures,
        'errors'   => $num_errors,
    );

  • The test suite expected the generated XML to have the attributes in the order (failures, errors, tests, name), so I tweaked the code to be: 

  •     my @tests = @{$self->testcases()};
    tie my %attrs, 'Tie::IxHash';
    %attrs = (
        'failures' => $failures,
        'errors'   => $num_errors,
        'tests'    => $testsrun,
        'name'     => _get_testsuite_name($self),
    );

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.13 in Rawhide:

    • Change the values accepted for the no_attributes option from undef and 1 to 0 and 1; if undef is used, it becomes 0, so pre-existing code will not change behaviour, whilst this makes it easier to pass 0 or 1 from the command line
