Monday 10th March 2014

Thursday 13th March 2014

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.968 in Rawhide:

  • Behaviour Change: removed implicit defaults of certs/server-{cert,key}.pem for SSL_{cert,key}_file and ca/certs/my-ca.pem for SSL_ca_file; these defaults were deprecated since 1.951 (July 2013)

  • Usable CA verification path on Windows etc.:

    • Do not use Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_verify_paths any longer to set system/build dependent default verification path, because there was no way to retrieve these default values and check if they contained usable CA

    • Instead, re-implement the same algorithm and export the results with public function default_ca() and make it possible to overwrite it

    • Also check for usable verification path during build; if no usable path is detected, require Mozilla::CA at build and try to use it at runtime

Local Packages

• New package perl-Exporter-Tiny (0.036)

• New package perl-Test-API (0.003)

• Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.968 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 2.0112:

  • Passing { recover => 2 } directly to load_html didn't work (CPAN RT#93429)

  • Apply patch to build with MSVC on Windows (CPAN RT#90064)

• Updated php-Smarty to 3.1.17:

  • Bugfix: Smarty_CacheResource_Custom did not handle template resource type specifications on clearCache() calls (Issue 169)

  • Bugfix: SmartyBC.class.php should use require_once to load Smarty.class.php (Forum Topic 24683)

  • Bugfix: "* }" (spaces before right delimiter) was interpreted by mistake as comment end tag (Issue 170)

  • Internals: content cache should be clear when updating cache file

  • Bugfix: the compiler failed when using template inheritance and recursive {include} (smarty-developers group)

  • Bugfix: undo block nesting checks for {nocache} for reasons like Forum Topic 23280 (Forum Topic 24762)

  • Bugfix: $smarty->debugging = true; showed the variable of the $smarty object, not the variables used in display() call (Forum Topic 24764)

  • Bugfix: clearCompiledTemplate(), clearAll() and clear() should use realpath to avoid possible exception from RecursiveDirectoryIterator (Issue 171)

  • Bugfix: shared.literal_compiler_param.php threw an exception when literal contained a '-' (smarty-developers group)

  • Bugfix: a '//' or '\\' in template_dir path could produce wrong path on relative filepath in {include} (Issue 175)

  • Bugfix: Smarty failed when executing PHP on HHVM (Hip Hop 2.4) because uniqid('',true) returns string with ',' (Forum Topic 20343)

  • Bugfix: relative file path {include} within {block} of child templates threw exception on first call (Issue 177)

Friday 14th March 2014

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-DateTime to 1.08 in Rawhide:

  • DateTime now calls DateTime->_core_time() instead of calling Perl's time() built-in directly, which makes it much easier to override the value of time() that DateTime sees; this may make it easier to write tests for code that uses DateTime

Local Packages

• New package perl-Test-Modern (0.002)

• Updated perl-Test-API to 0.004:

• 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

• Imported and built perl-MooseX-Types-Stringlike (0.002) for F-19, F-20, Rawhide and EPEL-7

• Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML (0.41) in F-19, F-20, Rawhide and EPEL-7 to address heap-based buffer overflow when parsing YAML tags (CVE-2013-6393) and LibYAML input sanitization errors (CVE-2014-2525)

• Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML (0.38) in EPEL-6 to address heap-based buffer overflow when parsing YAML tags (CVE-2013-6393) and LibYAML input sanitization errors (CVE-2014-2525)

• Branched and built perl-Module-Install-AutoLicense (0.08) for EPEL-7

• Branched and built perl-Module-Install-GithubMeta (0.26) for EPEL-7

• Branched and built perl-Module-Install-ReadmeFromPod (0.22) for EPEL-7

Friday 28th March 2014

  • Fix for change in overload behaviour in Perl 5.17 onwards (CPAN RT#77486)

• Updated perltidy to 20140328 in Rawhide:

  • Fixed CPAN RT#94190 and debian Bug #742004: perltidy.LOG file left behind; the problem was caused by the memoization speedup patch in version 20121207: an unwanted flag was being set, which caused a LOG to be written if perltidy was called multiple times

  • New default behaviour for LOG files: if the source is from an array or string (through a call to the perltidy module) then a LOG output is only possible if a logfile stream is specified; this is to prevent unexpected perltidy.LOG files

  • Fixed debian Bug #740670, insecure temporary file usage; File::Temp is now used to get a temporary file (CVE-2014-2277)

  • Any -b (--backup-and-modify-in-place) flag is silently ignored when a source stream, destination stream, or standard output is used; this is because the -b flag may have been in a .perltidyrc file and warnings break Test::NoWarnings
