Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.960 in Rawhide:

    • Only documentation enhancements:
      • Clarify with text and example code, that within event loops not only select/poll should be used, but also pending has to be called

      • Better introduction into SSL; at least mention anonymous authentication as something you don't want and should take care with the right cipher
      • Make it more clear that it's better not to change the cipher list unless you really know what you're doing

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.960 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-TAP-Harness and perl-Test-Harness to 3.30:

    • Respect PERL5LIB in tainting source handler test

    • Use base instead of parent: this dist is used for testing all other modules, so it should avoid having any non-core prerequisites; having parent as a prereq leads to a circular dependency of parent -> Test::More -> Test::Harness

    • Various POD fixes
    • Don't localize all of %ENV in harness.t

    • Give TAP::Harness::Beyond a unique NAME
