    • 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

    • 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

    • 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 sendmail to use unversioned documentation directories from F-20 (Bug #994090)

Wednesday 7th August 2013

Local Packages

  • 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)

    • Some edge cases in tests with base.pm and non-existent module files are handled more strictly (see also Perl RT#118561) (PR#25)

Thursday 8th August 2013

    • 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

Saturday 10th August 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated bro to BR: systemd-units for %{_unitdir} macro definition (fixes FTBFS Bug #992029)

  • Updated conman to BR: systemd-units for %{_unitdir} macro definition (fixes FTBFS Bug #992087)

    • BR: systemd-units for %{_unitdir} macro definition (fixes FTBFS Bug #992118)

    • Put tmpfiles config in %{_tmpfilesdir}, not under /etc

    • Package installation now creates %{_localstatedir}/run/%{name} (Bug #909272, Bug #957355)

    • Fix test failure caused by hash randomization in perl 5.17 (CPAN RT#82917)

  • Updated perl-Catalyst-Plugin-Session-Store-DBIC to 0.14 in Rawhide:

    • Don't use %ENV for passing data structures to tests; this fixes the tests on Perl 5.18, which stringifies %ENV values immediately (CPAN RT#86148)

    • 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)

  • Updated perl-Net-SSH-Perl to 1.36 in Rawhide:

  • 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)

  • Rebuilt condor, ikiwiki, perl-BackPAN-Index, perl-Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class, perl-Catalyst-Controller-FormBuilder, perl-Catalyst-View-Email, perl-Catalyst-View-Mason, perl-CatalystX-SimpleLogin, perl-Class-DBI-AbstractSearch, perl-CGI-Application-Plugin-DBIC-Schema, perl-CGI-Application-Structured, perl-CGI-Application-Structured-Tools, perl-CPS, perl-Data-Stream-Bulk, perl-DBIx-Class-Cursor-Cached, perl-DBIx-Class-DateTime-Epoch, perl-DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader, perl-DBIx-Class-TimeStamp, perl-Future, perl-Git-CPAN-Patch, perl-HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC, perl-IO-Async, perl-Maypole, perl-Module-Install-ManifestSkip, perl-Module-Package, perl-Task-Catalyst, perl-YUM-RepoQuery for the Fedora_20_Mass_Rebuild

Local Packages

  • Updated nmap to not print debug messages during normal use (Bug #994376)

Sunday 11th August 2013

Fedora Project

  • 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:

    • No functional change
    • Add "use experimental 'smartmatch'" for 5.18+

  • Rebuilt perl-CGI-Application-Plugin-DBIx-Class, perl-Task-Kensho-Logging and scsi-target-utils for the Fedora_20_Mass_Rebuild

Monday 12th August 2013

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

Wednesday 21st August 2013

Fedora Project

  • 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:

  • Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.53 in F-20 and Rawhide:

Thursday 22nd August 2013

Fedora Project

  • 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:

    • Convert to Dist::Zilla

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

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000016 as per the Fedora version

  • 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:

  • 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 :-(

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements to 2.123:
