  • Imported and built perl-Path-Tiny (0.031) for F-19, F-20 and Rawhide

  • Updated perl-Config-Tiny to 2.15 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Clean up the shambolic dates in the Changes file

    • Add a note under Caveats about setting options more that once - only the first case is respected (CPAN RT#69795)

    • Add a $encoding parameter to read_file() and write_file(), and add t/04.utf8.t and t/04.utf8.txt (CPAN RT#71029, CPAN RT#85571)

    • Add a FAQ to the docs
    • Clean up the docs

  • Updated perl-Crypt-DSA in EPEL-5, EPEL-6, F-18, F-19, F-20 and Rawhide to disable the fall back to using Data::Random if /dev/random is unavailable (Bug #743567, CPAN RT#71421, CVE-2011-3599)

  • It might seem that this would not affect Fedora since /dev/random is always available and so the fall back to Data::Random would never happen. However, if an application is confined using a MAC system such as SELinux then access to /dev/random could be denied by policy and the fall back would be triggered. Data::Random uses rand(), about which the perldoc says "rand() is not cryptographically secure. You should not rely on it in security-sensitive situations." In the case of DSA, this is even worse. Using improperly secure randomness sources can compromise the signing key upon signature of a message - see: http://rdist.root.org/2010/11/19/dsa-requirements-for-random-k-value/

    • Import stopwords from Pod::Wordlist::hanekomu (except names)

  • This module uses a lot of "modern" features in its test suite, but its core functionality works fine on old distributions; rather than take my usual approach and try to patch out the modern-isms in the test suite, I decided in this case to just bundle sufficiently recent copies of Test::More/Test::Builder/File::Temp  for use by the test suite (only), which greatly simplified getting it working all the way back to FC-3

Monday 9th September 2013

    • A caveat added to the documentation regarding embedding warning checks inside another sub

    • ':no_end_test' now also covers side effects of done_testing, as well as END blocks, making it possible to use the warning(s) subs without having an end warning test while using done_testing (necessary when combining with the 'if' pragma)

    • END tests will not be added by a subsequent use of Test::Warnings if a previous one passed ':no_end_test'

Local Packages

  • Updated java-1.7.0-oracle to 1.7.0.40 (see OracleJava7OnFedora)

    • Removed requirement for fsdbdebug in path when FsdbReader is present

    • Fixed ordering of static FSDB libraries for when dynamic ones are not present

    • Relax FSDB loader to allow VHDL and mixed-language files

    • Added VHDL hierarchy types to FST, internal VCD loaders and also vcdfst/fst2vcd

    • Added in VHDL to FST (which will also allow other languages): gtkwave can process these types (e.g., signal + std_ulogic), but there are currently no simulators supporting them

  • Updated perl-MIME-Types to 2.04 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.033 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Perl on BSD may not support locking on an NFS filesystem: if this is detected, Path::Tiny warns and continues in an unsafe mode (the 'flock' warning category may be fatalized to die instead)

    • Added 'iterator' example showing defaults

Local Packages

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.49 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-autodie to 2.21:

    • Speed/Internal: Through the magic of globally reuseable core leak trampolines, autodie is even faster when used across multiple packages

    • Speed/Internal: Caches used for keeping track of fatalised subroutines are faster and leaner
    • Speed/Internal: Core subroutine wrappers are now lazily compiled

    • Speed/Internal: Using autodie while autodie is already in effect is now faster and more efficient

    • Internal: $" and $! are no longer arbitrarily messed with for no reason via autodie (they're still messed with when using Fatal)

    • Speed/Internal: The ':all' tag hierarchy is expanded immediately, in an efficient fashion

    • Internal: Numerous minor clean-ups, dead variables removed, typos fixed

    • Speed/Internal: import() and _make_fatal() cache more aggressively, reducing CPU overhead

    • Test: Compatibility with Carp 1.32 (CPAN RT#88076)

  • Updated perl-MIME-Types to 2.04 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.033 as per the Fedora version

Friday 13th September 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated davfs2 in F-20 and Rawhide to add support for building with neon 0.30 (Bug #992110); this wasn't difficult since neon 0.30.0 has no interface changes, API and ABI backwards-compatible with 0.27.x and later

  • Updated perl-Config-Tiny to 2.17 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Remove the file tests -efr during calls to read(); the open() tests for any error

    • The -f test was reporting /dev/null as a directory, not a file (CPAN RT#36974)

    • Clean up some error messages slightly

  • Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.070 in git only because it's unbuildable in F-20 and Rawhide because of a missing dependency of perl(version) in the perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker package (Bug #1007755):

    • Yet another documention error fixed

    • Add new6FFFF, RFC4291 compliant ipv4->ipV6 new in Lite.pm

  • Updated perl-ParseUtil-Domain to 2.30 in F-20 and Rawhide at last, fixing the failure to build with Perl 5.18 (Bug #992709); this only became possible after my perl-perl5i package passed review earlier this week

  • Updated trac-spamfilter-plugin in F-19, F-20 and Rawhide to the current upstream svn version (no changes in the last 4 months), which fixes the broken plugin administrative panels

Local Packages

    • The wordlist is now a sharedir file

    • Accessing %Pod::Wordlist::Wordlist directly is now deprecated

Due to some compatibility issues with old Perl versions in Class-Tiny and File-ShareDir-ProjectDistDir, I've only built the new perl-File-ShareDir-ProjectDistDir and perl-Pod-Spell versions for F-19, F-20 and Rawhide for now

Monday 16th September 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated milter-greylist to 4.5.7 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Built perl-NetAddr-IP 4.070 in F-20 and Rawhide

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.17 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Write test temp files in :raw mode as well as utf-8, for MS Windows users

    • Take the opportunity to change all utf8 to utf-8, as per the docs for Encode, except for 'use warnings qw(FATAL utf8);', which doesn't accept utf-8 :-(

Local Packages

  • New package perl-Path-FindDev (0.2.0)

  • New package perl-Path-IsDev (0.3.0)

  • Updated perl-File-ShareDir-ProjectDistDir to 0.5.1:

    • Entire Heuristics system replaced with Path::IsDev/Path::FindDev

    • Internals re-written to use Path::Tiny

    • Please read SIGNIFICANT CHANGES section on ::ProjectDistDir for details

  • Updated perl-Test-CleanNamespaces to 0.04:

    • Remove use of deprecated Class::MOP::load_class

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.17 as per the Fedora version

Tuesday 17th September 2013

Fedora Project

  • Reviewed and approved Jitka Plesnikova's perl-Path-IsDev package submission

  • Updated perl-parent to 0.228 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.012 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • More clearly (and correctly) document the way not to use Test::Fatal

    • Try to fix $TODO not working when the user test uses $T::B::Level

    • Go back to auto-detecting the required Test::More, reverting the changes made for CPAN RT#62699

  • As this version now requires Test::More ≥ 0.96 for its test suite, I have dropped support for EPEL (EL-6 has Test::More 0.92)

  • Updated perl-Try-Tiny to 0.12 in F-18 (Bug #1009094):

    • Documentation fixes

Local Packages

  • Updated contagged to fix up selinux policy version requirements, which were broken in F-20 onwards (Bug #999584)

  • Updated perl-Class-Tiny to 0.009:

  • Built perl-File-ShareDir-ProjectDistDir (0.4.4) for F-13 to F-18; I'm still seeing problems with this on Perl < 5.10.1, hence F-13 as the starting point

  • Updated perl-parent to 0.228 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Pod-Spell to 1.07 for F-13 to F-18 now that I have a working File::ShareDir::ProjectDistDir there

  • Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.012 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 2.0106:

    • Import croak from "use Carp;" to fix a missing croak definition (CPAN RT#88624)

    • Update Devel::CheckLib under "./inc" to 1.01 (should fix CPAN RT#81297)

Wednesday 18th September 2013

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Class-Tiny to 0.010:

  • Updated perl-Path-FindDev to 0.3.0:

    • Implemented in Class::Tiny instead of Moo

  • Updated perl-Path-IsDev to 0.3.1:

    • Require Class::Tiny ≥ 0.005, which supports lazy attributes

  • Updated perl-Path-Class not to build-require perl(Test::Perl::Critic) when bootstrapping, to avoid circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-Sub-Uplevel not to build-require perl(Test::Spelling) when bootstrapping, to avoid circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-Test-LeakTrace not to run the extra tests when bootstrapping, to avoid circular build dependencies

Thursday 19th September 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-CheckDeps to 0.007 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Require CPAN::Meta::Check ≥ 0.007, for conflicts fixes

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.18 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • No changes, code or otherwise, except for the version number
    • Somehow a corrupted version got uploaded to search.cpan.org, so I've just changed the version number (the file on MetaCPAN was fine)

  • Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.55 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Revert to ExtUtils::MakeMaker flow

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.132620:

    • META validation used to allow a scalar value when a list (i.e. array reference) was required for a field; this has been tightened and validation will now fail if a scalar value is given

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-IP to 0.24:

    • Defend against INADDR_LOOPBACK not being 127.0.0.1 on machines with odd networking (e.g. FreeBSD jails) during unit testing

  • Updated perl-List-MoreUtils not to build-require perl(ExtUtils::CBuilder) when bootstrapping, to avoid circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-Path-FindDev to 0.3.1:

    • Require Class::Tiny ≥ 0.010, which doesn't exhibit the "used only once" warning

  • Updated perl-Path-IsDev to 0.3.2:

    • Require Class::Tiny ≥ 0.010, which doesn't exhibit the "used only once" warning

  • Updated perl-Sub-Uplevel not to build-require perl(Pod::Wordlist::hanekomu) when bootstrapping, to avoid circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-Test-CheckDeps to 0.007 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test-CleanNamespaces not to run the extra tests when bootstrapping, to avoid circular build dependencies

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.18 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.55 as per the Fedora version

Friday 20th September 2013

Local Packages

  • Updated davfs2 to fix possibly insecure use of system() (CVE-2013-4362)

  • Updated perl-File-ShareDir-ProjectDistDir (version 0.4.4, as used for all releases prior to Fedora 19 as later versions' dependencies can't be satisfied on earlier Fedoras or RHEL without replacing modules bundled with the main perl package) to fix a problem that would manifest when it was used on Fedora 12 or earlier, e.g. when running File::pushd's author tests with Pod::Spell 1.07 (which has its own issues):

  • This turned out to be due to the Perl vendor install directory being under /usr/lib in Fedora 12 and earlier, and /usr/share thereafter. File::ShareDir::ProjectDistDir searched upwards from the /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Pod/ directory and found a lib directory parallel to a share directory under /usr and presumed that this was a "development" environment and that Pod::Spell's word list should be under /usr/share whereas it was actually installed at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/auto/share/dist/Pod-Spell/wordlist. To fix this, I used this patch to add a further heuristic that any path under /usr was a production environment: 

  • Add heuristic: any path under /usr is a production path

  • Looking at the code, I don't think File::ShareDir::ProjectDistDir 0.5.x would have been affected by this issue if I'd been able to install it.

  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 2.99:

    • Updated for v5.19.4

    • Fixed Module::Build core deprecation

    • changes_between now has the same API as all other functions

    • Added is_core(), which returns true if a module is/was core in a specific version of Perl; can optionally specify minimum version of the module

Monday 23rd September 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.010 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Generated from ETHER/YAML-Tiny-1.55.tar.gz

    • Makefile.PL will use UNINST=1 on old perls that might have an old version incorrectly installed into the core library path

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.132661:

    • Installation on Perls < 5.12 will uninstall older versions installed due to being bundled with ExtUtils::MakeMaker

    • Updated Makefile.PL logic to support PERL_NO_HIGHLANDER

    • Dropped ExtUtils::MakeMaker configure_requires dependency to 6.17

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements to 2.125:

    • Better fix than 2.123: on old perls, rather than install into 'core', we continue to install into the proper 'site' library, but force UNINST=1 when necessary to remove stale copies from ExtUtils::MakeMaker

    • Updated Makefile.PL logic to support PERL_NO_HIGHLANDER

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.010 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-HTML-Tidy to 1.56:

    • Fixed an undef warning in parse()

    • UTF8 was never encoded correctly

    • The ->parse() method would sometimes return false even though everything worked fine

    • Everything is now licensed Artistic 2.0

    • Fixed CPAN RT#78156: package NAMESPACE VERSION syntax not accepted

    • First attempt to fix CPAN RT#88588: INDEX END tag change in pod2html breaks perltidy -html; I put in a patch which should work but I don't yet have a way of testing it

  • Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.013:

    • Rebuild to get a newer compile test that may work on 5.6.x

  • I have reinstated support for old distributions by bundling a copy of Test::More 0.96 to use for the test suite if the system one is too old

Tuesday 24th September 2013

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.035 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Exceptions are now Path::Tiny::Error objects, not autodie exceptions; this removes the last dependency on autodie, which allows us to support Perls as far back as v5.8.1

    • BSD/NFS flock fix was not backwards compatible before v5.14; this fixes it harder

    • Lowered ExtUtils::MakeMaker configure_requires version to 6.17

    • Fixed flock warning on BSD that was broken with the autodie removal; now also applies to all BSD flavours

  • Unfortunately the dropping of the dependency on autodie does not help us to build Path::Tiny on anything older than F-19 as there's still a requirement on a very recent version (3.40) of File::Spec

  • Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.013 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Rebuild to get a newer compile test that may work on 5.6.x

    • Added ssl_prefer_server_ciphers setting

    • auth_verbose_passwords: log the password also for unknown users

    • Add tests for really big data structures (not yet working)
    • Check for taint-mode less insanely

    • Don't delay loading File::Find::Rule (see CPAN RT#87554)

  • Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 1.62:

    • This release is based on version 2013f of the Olson database
    • Contemporary changes for Tocantins, Jordan, and Palestine

      • Clean up connect() to be more flexible with IO::Socket::* args

    • Untagged server data during send literal may cause client to hang

      • _send_line() needs '+' only to know it is OK to send LITERAL data

      • Created _response_code_sub() to simplify _get_response()

    • Remove internal "Folders" cache
    • Allow for RFC 6154 "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes"

      • New method: folders_hash()

      • Deprecate: xlist_folders(), xlist()

  • Updated perl-Pod-Spell to 1.09, with a number of fixes from upstream to address punctuation-stripping and encoding issues (GH #9 and GH #11):

    • Stopwords with 's are learned without 's to match how they are checked

    • Leading and trailing punctuation is entirely stripped since the spell checker won't care anyway; trailing periods are not stripped as they might be abbreviations ("Ph.D."), but such words are checked against the stoplist both with and without trailing periods to account for abbreviations and words at the end of a sentence

  • Updated perl-Pod-Spell to 1.10 in Rawhide:

    • Added 'no_wide_chars' option to strip words with such characters from the output; this may help spell-checkers that can't cope with UTF-8

    • Improved punctuation stripping algorithm for better word isolation (example C<< "hello". >> now is found as "hello")

    • Strips all words that do not have at least one \w character as a spell-checker isn't likely to do anything useful with them

    • Added recommendations for dealing with character encoding

  • Built perl-Perl-OSType (1.006) in Rawhide now that Pod::Spell was fixed

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Path-IsDev to 0.4.0:

    • Now has a system to indicate negative heuristics, to mark given directories as "not dev", which cause other positive heuristics to be ignored

    • One basic negative heuristic added, 'IsDev::IgnoreFile'

    • Basic Negative heuristic comes standard with the basic set

  • Updated perl-Pod-Spell to 1.10 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-UNIVERSAL-require to 0.15:

    • Fix the distribution metadata so the repository shows up
