Fedora Project

• Petr Šabata kindly reviewed and approved my perl-Archive-Peek package submission

• Imported and built perl-Archive-Peek (0.35) for F-18, F-19, F-20, Rawhide and EPEL-6

• Updated perl-IPC-System-Simple to 1.24 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • No longer mark BSD::Resource as required (GH #6)

  • Skip core-dump tests on OS X; they're not as straightforward as the test script would like (GH #5)

• Updated perl-JSON-PP to 2.27203 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Fixed return/or in _incr_parse (CPAN RT#86948)

• Updated perl-Parse-CPAN-Packages to 2.38 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Added methods to the generated objects to try to retrieve dist contents from a local CPAN mirror
  • Some refactoring/clean-up
  • Added rudimentary logic to return the subs in a package, as well as verify via regex whether a given sub is in the package

  • Moved author tests to xt/ to avoid them being run on the user side

  • Removed some dependency on hash ordering in the tests

• Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.044 in F-20 and Rawhide:

  • Fixed child path construction against the root path

  • Fixed path construction when a relative volume is provided as the first argument on Windows; e.g. path("C:", "lib") must be like path("C:lib"), not path("C:/lib")

  • On AIX, shared locking is replaced by exclusive locking on a R/W filehandle, as locking read handles is not supported

• Transferred ownership of pptp to Jaroslav Škarvada, who uses it more than I do (I don't use it all these days)
