Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.037 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Fixed for v5.8

• Updated perl-Perl-Critic to 1.119 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Tests were failing with Config::Tiny 2.17 or later, due to a change in the error messages produced by that module (CPAN RT#88679, CPAN RT#88889, https://github.com/Perl-Critic/Perl-Critic/pull/16)

  • Modernized our usage of Exporter (CPAN RT#75300)

• Updated perl-Perl-OSType to 1.006 in F-20 (Rawhide build failed due to bug in Pod::Spell 1.09):

  • Dropped configure_requires for ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.17

  • Marked as deprecated now that words are merged into Pod::Wordlist
