Fedora Project
David Dick kindly reviewed and approved my perl-Apache-Session-NoSQL package
Updated perl-ExtUtils-Depends to 0.404 in Rawhide:
Depends.pm: sort deps in save_config() and get_makefile_vars() (CPAN RT#101602)
Use / to make ::load filename, not File::Spec - perldoc -f require
Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000026 in Rawhide:
Patched tests to be less noisy in blead builds (CPAN RT#101491)
Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.68 in Rawhide:
Improvements to inc/Module/Install/PRIVATE/Net/SSLeay.pm to handle the case where there are muliple OPENSSLs installed
Fixed a documentation error in get_peer_cert_chain
- Fixed a problem with building on Windows that prevented correct OpenSSL directory detection with version 1.0.1j as delivered with Shining Light OpenSSL
- Fixed a problem with building on Windows that prevented finding MT or MD versions of SSL libraries
Updated doc in README.Win32 to build with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express
Added Windows crypt32 library to Windows linking as some compilers/platforms seem to require it and it is innocuous otherwise
Fixed a failure in t/external/20_cert_chain.t where some platforms do not have HTTPS in /etc/services
Recent 1.0.2 betas have dropped the SSLv3_method function; we leave out the function on newer versions, much the same as the SSLv2 deprecation is handled
- Fix the ALPN test, which was incorrectly failing on OpenSSL due to the LibreSSL check (earlier versions bailed out before that line)
Fixed a problem on OSX when macports openssl 1.x is installed: headers from macport were found but older OSX openssl libraries were linked, resulting in "Symbol not found: _EVP_MD_do_all_sorted"
Added notes about runtime error "no OPENSSL_Applink", when calling Net::SSLeay::P_PKCS12_load_file
Updated perl-Perl-OSType to 1.008 in Rawhide:
- Added 'minix' as a Unix-type OS
Updated perl-Test-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.24 in Rawhide:
- Documentation updates
Local Packages
Updated perl-Clone to 0.38:
Typo fixes and improvements to the README
- travis/coveralls integration
Updated perl-ExtUtils-Depends to 0.404 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Filter to 1.54:
Fix some compiler warnings for -Wall (CPAN RT#101587); note that perl5 itself is not yet -pedantic safe, but Filter is
Updated perl-Module-Metadata to 1.000026 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.68 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Perl-OSType to 1.008 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Test-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.24 as per the Fedora version
Updated ppp to 2.4.7:
Fixed a potential security issue in parsing option files (CVE-2014-3158)
There is a new "stop-bits" option, which takes an argument of 1 or 2, indicating the number of stop bits to use for async serial ports
There is a new "master_detach" option, which allows pppd to detach from the controlling terminal when it is the multilink bundle master but its own link has terminated, even if the nodetach option has been given
- Options files can now set and unset environment variables for scripts
The timeout for chat scripts can now be taken from an environment variable
- Various bug fixes
- Man page updates
Note that this update is restricted to F-21 onwards, as it would not be co-installable with NetworkManager in earlier releases due to there being hard version dependencies (i.e. on ppp = 2.4.5) in that package; however, the package does build OK all the way back to F-5 if anyone wants to rebuild it themselves
