Local Packages
New package perl-Net-HTTPTunnel (0.51)
Updated cdrtools to 3.01 alpha release 17
Updated dovecot to 2.2.5:

director: users near expiration could have been redirected to different servers at the same time
pop3: avoid assert-crash if client disconnects during LIST
mdbox: corrupted index header still wasn't automatically fixed
dsync: various fixes to work better with imapc and pop3c storages

imap: various error handling fixes to CATENATE
Updated dovecot (2.1) to 2.1.17, and pigeonhole to 0.3.5:
zlib: keep the last read mail uncompressed in a temporary file; this significantly improves performance when IMAP client does small partial fetches for a large mail
acl: optionally get default ACL's for private/shared namespaces from user's INBOX (plugin { acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes })
- Case-insensitive unicode character comparisons weren't all working as they should
maildir: fixed handling over 26 keywords in a mailbox
auth: don't crash in non-PLAIN/LOGIN auth mechanism if master user login is attempted without any master passdbs configured
- Changed error handling to be less of a nuisance for administrators: strictly user-caused errors are only reported in user log, and some errors are logged as info instead
Sieve: changed behaviour of redirect in case of a duplicate message delivery or a mail loop
Sieve vnd.dovecot.duplicate extension: added new features to the duplicate test, making it possible to manually compose the key value for duplicate checking; this extension is in the process of being standardized: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bosch-sieve-duplicate-01
Sieve date extension: generate warning when invalid date part is specified
Sieve editheader extension: fixed crash occurring when addheader :last was used

Added optional proxy server questions if Net::HTTPTunnel is installed for the test scripts (t/*.t)
Fixed bug in login() so the call to help() only happens if the login is successful
Avoid IO-Socket-SSL versions 1.79 to 1.85 due to bug when using certificates for the Data Channel and getting a bogus Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) warning (CPAN RT#84376)
Avoid MITM warning when not using certificates (CPAN RT#85420)
- Fixed masking issue when writing to the log file when the value that needed to be masked contained regex special chars
Added clarification that any warnings printed below the 10-complex.t tests are just that: warnings, not errors preventing things from working; they are collected so the developer can be notified about them for fixing in future releases
Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20130806:
Fixed CPAN RT#87502, incorrect of parsing of smartmatch before hash brace
Added feature request CPAN RT#87330, trim whitespace after POD; the flag -trp (--trim-pod) will trim trailing whitespace from lines of POD

Updated perl-Moose to 2.1005:
add_method now accepts blessed subs (PR#28)
If a role consumed another role, we resolve method conflicts just like a class consuming a role, but when metaclass compat tried to fix up metaclass roles, we were putting all methods into one composite role and allowing methods in the metaclass roles to conflict; now we resolve them as we should (PR#27)

Updated perl-DBIx-Class to 0.08250 in Rawhide to fix FTBFS
Updated perl-Email-MIME to 1.923 in Rawhide:
- Repackage, remove PEP links, update bug-tracker
- Try to encode headers based on the header structure, if it has one, rather than treating the header as a big string in all cases
Do not call parts_set during walk_parts unless the parts have actually changed
When trying to decode a body, fall back to 7bit if the encoding is unknown; trying to create a new body in an unknown encoding is still forbidden
Avoid undefined warnings in debug_structure (CPAN RT#82388)
Better error message when the given body is a ref but not a scalar (CPAN RT#59205)
- Do not consider the part-ending CRLF part of the body

Fix repository metadata (CPAN RT#87249)
Updated perl-Net-Amazon-S3 to 0.59 in Rawhide to fix FTBFS Bug #992695; I had to exclude the command-line interface script s3cl as it has dependencies that are not yet available in Fedora (Bug #995748)

Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-SQL-Abstract-Limit in F-19 and Rawhide, mainly dropping the optional test requirement of DBD::AnyData as it's incompatible with DBI > 1.622 and upstream rejected bugs about it (CPAN RT#83293); this fixes FTBFS bugs for F-19 (Bug #914311) and Rawhide (Bug #992717)
Updated perl-Test-Refcount to drop the optional requirement Devel::FindRef, which precipitates test suite failures with Perl 5.18 (CPAN RT#85998)

Sunday 11th August 2013

Updated cpm in Rawhide to fix FTBFS Bug #992091:
The configure script was a bit fussy, looking for the exact filenames of the dictionaries despite not actually needing to know them itself as the cracklib API does not require knowledge of the file extensions used; I patched it to check for a compressed dictionary too, which fixed that problem
There was also a problem with the cpm.pod documentation file, which included UTF8 characters but didn't specify its encoding, which the current pod tools object to, so I added an appropriate encoding specification
Updated mbuffer in Rawhide to fix FTBFS Bug #992214 by removing the redundant and broken use of autoconf
Updated mon in Rawhide to build-require systemd-units for the %{_unitdir} macro definition (fixes FTBFS Bug #992279)
Updated perl-Email-MIME to 1.924 in Rawhide:
Update use of Email::MIME::ContentType to match new, fixed hash keys: type/subtype
Updated perl-Email-MIME-ContentType to 1.017 in Rawhide:
Correct the long-standing and embarrassing misuse of "discrete" and "composite" to mean "type" and "subtype"; the returned data still contains the wrong old names so your code shouldn't break
- Repackage to update bug-tracker, repo, etc.
Make $STRICT_PARAMS actually work! (CPAN RT#87460)
Updated perl-Perl-Stripper to 0.06 in Rawhide to fix FTBFS Bug #992710:

Add "use experimental 'smartmatch'" for 5.18+

Typo fixes (CPAN RT#86578)
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

Updated perl-AnyEvent to 7.05 in F-20 and Rawhide:
uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
Handle lone \015's properly in AE::Handle's default line read
Untaint IP addresses found in /etc/hosts
The memleak fix in 7.03 caused resolving via /etc/hosts always to fail on first use
Expose AnyEvent::Log::format_time, and allow users to redefine it
Expose AnyEvent::Log::default_format, and allow redefinition
Expose AnyEvent::Log::fatal_exit, to allow redefinition
AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if available
t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST
kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and icculus.org
Clarify that IO::AIO and AnyEvent::AIO are needed for AnyEvent::IO to function asynchronously
Hard-disable $^W in most tests; it generates too much garbage output
Use a (hopefully) more future-proof method to emulate common::sense
- Upgrade to UTS-46:6.2.0
Switch to INSTLIB from INSTLIBDIR, as INSTLIBDIR was wrongly documented; should not affect anything
Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000015 in F-18, F-19, F-20 and Rawhide:
Change wording about safety/security to satisfy CVE-2013-1437

Jitka Plesnikova kindly reviewed and approved my package submissions for perl-true, perl-Perl6-Caller, perl-Carp-Fix-1_25 and perl-Time-y2038
Imported and built perl-Carp-Fix-1_25 for F-18, F-19, F-20, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6
Imported and built perl-Parallel-Runner for F-19, F-20 and Rawhide
Imported and built perl-Perl6-Caller for F-18, F-19, F-20, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6
Imported and built perl-Time-y2038 for F-18, F-19, F-20 and Rawhide
Imported and built perl-true for F-19, F-20 and Rawhide
Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000016 in F-20 and Rawhide:
- Re-release to fix prereqs and other metadata
Updated perl-Perl-OSType to 1.004 in F-20 and Rawhide:
- 'bitrig' is a Unix
Tried to updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.13 in F-20 and Rawhide:
Added missing abstract for kwalitee-metrics script
No longer issuing a warning if the test is running from xt/ (see v1.10)
However, the builds failed because the builder couldn't find perl(Digest::SHA), which was very strange given that perl-Digest-SHA is there on the mirrors
Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.54 in F-20 and Rawhide:

Updated format to conform to CPAN::Changes::Spec

Updated perl-Perl-OSType to 1.004 as per the Fedora version
Whilst doing this update I noticed that the POD spelling test (which uses Test::Spelling) was being skipped because "no working spellchecker could be found"; this was despite hunspell and its English dictionary being installed. After a lengthy investigation I discovered that Pod::Wordlist::hanekomu explicitly sets the spellchecker to aspell (for no obvious reason) and so I had to specify aspell and its US English dictionary dictionary as build requirements rather than the (otherwise preferred) hunspell versions
Successfully updated perl-Test-Kwalitee to 1.13 (see above for details)
Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 2.0103:
Fix for test failures in t/40reader.t (CPAN RT#83779)
Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.54 as per the Fedora version
In common with most "Convert to Dist::Zilla" jobs, this meant I needed to introduce a bunch of patches (4 in this case) to support building this simple package on old distributions where I can't upgrade Test::More to a modern version
Friday 30th August 2013

Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements to 2.123:
On Perls prior to v5.12, CPAN::Meta::Requirements will be installed into the 'core' library path to avoid an older version bundled with ExtUtils::MakeMaker and installed there taking precedence
