Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.955 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Support for perfect forward secrecy using ECDH, if the Net::SSLeay version supports it (Fedora's doesn't, yet)

  • Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.041 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Remove duplicate test dependency on File::Spec that triggers a CPAN.pm bug

Local Packages

  • Updated curl to not limit the speed of SCP upload on a fast connection (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.library/40551/focus=40561)

  • New package perl-Test-Harness (3.29)

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.132830:

    • CPAN::Meta::Prereqs now has a 'merged_requirements' method for combining requirements across multiple phases and types

    • Invalid 'meta-spec' is no longer a fatal error: instead, it will usually be treated as spec version "1.0" (prior to formalization of the meta-spec field); conversion has some heuristics for guessing a version depending on other fields if 'meta-spec' is missing or invalid

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.955 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Module-Build-Tiny to 0.030:

    • Respect harness environmental variables
    • Add main dir to include path
    • 'include_dirs' must be a list ref, not just a string (CPAN RT#54606)

  • I couldn't update this in Fedora yet as it requires TAP::Harness ≥ 3.29 (Bug #1018157)

  • Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.041 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-TAP-Harness to 3.29:

    • Get rid of use vars in favour of our in all modules and tests

    • Added use warnings to all modules and tests

    • Use parent instead of @ISA in all modules and tests

    • Fix failing test on VMS
    • Improve error message on loading failure (CPAN RT#77730)

    • Use Text::ParseWords, deprecate and remove TAP::Parser::Utils

  • Updated tidy to add a %check section and run the test suite
