Fedora Project

  • Submitted a review request for a perl-Archive-Peek package

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.132830 in Rawhide:

    • Fixed incorrectly encoded META.yml

    • 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
    • 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

    • 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
