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 Makefile.PL logic to support PERL_NO_HIGHLANDER

Local Packages

  • Updated moin-theme-solenoid to 2012.12.16 (see CHANGES.txt for details)

  • 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:

    • webtidy's version statement now shows the version number of the underlying tidyp library

    • 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
  • Updated perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta to 1.4409:

    • Updated Makefile.PL logic to support PERL_NO_HIGHLANDER

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

  • Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20130922:

    • Fixed CPAN RT#88020: --converge was not working with wide characters

    • 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
