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
  • Updated perl-Test-Portability-Files to 0.06 in F-18, F-19, F-20, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6:

    • Created git repository on github.com

    • Converted to Dist::Zilla

    • Fixed "options cannot take a false value" (CPAN RT#21631)

    • Disabled AmigaOS and Mac OS Classic tests by default because they are no longer supported by Perl itself (CPAN RT#12182)

    • Updated synopsis to show recommended author-only usage (CPAN RT#43948)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.035 as per the Fedora version
