Fedora Project
David Dick kindly reviewed and approved my perl-Test-API package submission
Imported and built perl-Test-API (0.004) for F-19, F-20, Rawhide, EPEL-6 and EPEL-7
Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.970 in Rawhide:
Make sure sub default_ca uses a local $_ and not a version of an outer scope that might be read-only (CPAN RT#93987)
Local Packages
I have now stopped building packages for FC-3, FC-4 and RHEL-4, and existing packages are being moved to the ARCHIVE area of the repository
Updated perl-DBD-SQLite to 1.42:
Notice on Next Generation Query Planner
As of SQLite 3.8.0, SQLite's query planner has been rewritten; according to the author, the new query planner should give exactly the same result (though perhaps with a little less CPU time spent planning) for simple queries, and for complex queries, it can in many cases provide a much faster answer (see http://www.sqlite.org/queryplanner-ng.html for details)
Notice on Partial Indices
Database files created by SQLite 3.8.0 are still readable and writeable by prior versions, but if you use partial indices introduced in SQLite 3.8.0, those files become unreadable and unwriteable by older versions of (DBD::)SQLite; they'll be readable/writeable again by dropping partial indices
Updated to SQLite 3.8.4.1 (CPAN RT#88228), fixing several obscure bugs on "ORDER BY" or "DISTINCT"
Resolved CPAN RT#87435: statistics_info perldoc
Resolved CPAN RT#87297: URI filenames in DBD::SQLite
Resolved CPAN RT#90211: Error in documentation
Resolved CPAN RT#89351: DBD-SQLite won't compile on Cygwin 64 bit
Resolved CPAN RT#92322: Failure under heavily parallelized tests
Tweaked sqlite_see_if_its_a_number not to guess data types of bind values with explicit type specification (via bind_param() etc.)
Disabled Test::NoWarnings in a test
Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.970 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu to 1.23:
Add description of the pager command bug in Perl debugger that causes segmentation fault (Perl RT#121456)
Fix not to clobber binmode layer (utf-8) on filehandles (CPAN RT#59832)
Support UTF-8 input as compatible with Term::ReadLine
Now Term::ReadLine::Gnu requires perl 5.8.0 or above
Define Term::ReadLine::Gnu::ornaments method (CPAN RT#93614)
Makefile.PL: fix the URL of the bug-tracker (CPAN RT#93680)
eg/perlsh: POD syntax fix (CPAN RT#93895)
README: add note for bug-tracker
INSTALL: update "1.3 Trouble Shooting"
