Monday 5th January 2015

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-DateTime to 1.17 in Rawhide:

  • Fix for adding very large numbers of days; previously, trying to add more than around 2²⁸ days could cause errors if the result ended up in a leap year (CPAN RT#97046)

  • Various small doc chances to address CPAN RT#96958, CPAN RT#98733 and CPAN RT#101262

• Updated perl-ExtUtils-Depends to 0.403 in Rawhide:

  • Avoid using Test::More::done_testing() for to support building out-of-the-box on older perls

• Updated perl-namespace-autoclean to 0.24 in Rawhide:

  • Be more lenient in optional Mouse tests to handle edge cases in older and pure perl versions

  • Simplify code path for old perl

  • Fix quote_binary (CPAN RT#100676)

  • Fix csv() for hashrefs with aliased headers

  • Update copyright to 2015

Local Packages

• Updated perl-autodie to 2.26:

  • Remove "fileno" and "umask" from the list of CORE subs protected by autodie and Fatal; when they return undef, it is not a failure

  • Fixed an error that could occur during global destruction of the form "(in cleanup) Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at .../autodie/Scope/GuardStack.pm line 48 during global destruction"

  • The open-pragma is now properly ignored when open is given an explicit layer; this brings autodie protected open in sync with open (GH#52, GH#53)

  • Hide the "SCALAR" (buffer) argument in the string representation of autodie::exception for the read, sysread and syswrite CORE subs; this is to avoid a dump of binary data to the screen/log when a (sys)read or syswrite fails

  • Let autodie::exception work in equality tests and string comparison via "overload fallback"

  • Documentation: mention that "kill" is in the ":ipc" category; it has been there since autodie v2.14 (CPAN RT#97320)

  • Use "parent" instead of "base" for inheritance; also avoid some @ISA relationships that were redundant (either truly redundant ones or by importing "import" from Exporter v5.57) (GH#59)

  • The autodie module now accepts an undefined Fatal version, assuming it to be a development version; test cases that require versions are now either skipped or considered "release" test

  • Enabled travis-ci for Perl 5.20

  • Close temporary file before re-opening in t/truncate.t (CPAN RT#96609)

  • Pass O_TRUNC with O_CREAT to sysopen in t/utf8_open.t (CPAN RT#87237)

  • Clean up temporary file in t/truncate.t (CPAN RT#100688)

• Updated perl-DateTime to 1.17 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 1.83:

  • Various changes to get tests passing and tools code working with blead; this includes fixing some "Redundant argument in sprintf" warnings that could occur in the DateTime test suite (CPAN RT#101116)

  • Attempting to fix indexing of DateTime::TimeZone::Catalog on metacpan

• Updated perl-ExtUtils-Depends to 0.403 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-MCE to 1.522:

• Bug Fixes

  • Applied fix to MCE->shutdown so that MCE Models do not err when receiving signal to terminate

  • Optimization for MCE->print, MCE->printf, MCE->say and MCE->sendto, which were calling fileno unnecessarily

  • MCE->print('STDERR', ...) is not supported

  • Do this instead:

  • MCE->print(\*STDERR, ...)

• Enhancements

  • Inserts the actual lib-path at the head of @INC in example files

  • Massive documentation updates throughout the entire distribution

  • Renamed barrier_sync.pl to sync.pl; scaling_pings.pl to ping.pl

  • Updated requires in META.yml, Makefile.PL and perl-MCE.spec

  • Updated comment in MCE::Queue test scripts

  • Updated the README file

  • RequireFinalSemicolon: recognise try/catch of Try.pm, TryCatch.pm and Syntax::Feature::Try (CPAN RT#100291)

  • Various List::Util functions as expression blocks

  • RequireTrailingCommaAtNewline: exception for single here-documents (CPAN RT#100292)

  • ProhibitNullStatements: report "null ;" on try/catch, and look inside try/catch/finally blocks

• Updated perl-Search-Elasticsearch to 1.17:

  • handle_args were not being passed to all backends, meaning that (e.g.) cookies could not be used

  • Log::Any 1.02 broke bwc - fixed to work with new version

  • Added params:

    • op_type, version, version_type to indices.put_template

    • version, version_type to indices.delete_template

    • version, version_type to termvectors

    • master_timeout, timeout to cluster.put_settings

    • ignore_idle_threads to nodes.hot_threads

    • terminate_after to search

  • Deprecated termvector in favour of termvectors (but old method still works for now)

• Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 1.13 as per the Fedora version

• Updated python-zope-interface to 4.1.2:

  • Add support for PyPy3

• Updated perl-List-MoreUtils to 0.404 as per the Fedora version

• The tarball for this release appears to have been generated using BSD tar on a Mac, resulting in this when unpacking using GNU tar on Linux:

• /usr/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.dev'
  /usr/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.ino'
  /usr/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.nlink'
  /usr/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.creationtime'

• The tarball still unpacks OK but on GNU tar version 1.15.1 as used on F-5, F-6, F-7 and EL-5, tar exits with a non-zero status and this breaks the build. To work around this, I had to disable the tarball unpacking in %setup and do it manually:

• %prep
  # tarballs created on MacOS with BSD tar contain extended attributes that
  # cause GNU tar 1.15.1 on F-7,EL-5 and before to exit with an error after
  # properly extracting the tarball, so we have to work around that
  %setup -q -n Test-NoTabs-%{version} -T -c
  tar -xz --pax-option="delete=SCHILY.*" --pax-option="delete=LIBARCHIVE.*" --strip-components=1 -f %{SOURCE0}

• Updated perl-Test-RequiresInternet to 0.04 as per the Fedora version

• Updated python-twisted to Obsolete/Provide python-twisted-core-doc as well as all of the other Obsoletes/Provides

  • Patched tests to be less noisy in blead builds (CPAN RT#101491)

  • Fixed a failure in t/external/20_cert_chain.t where some platforms do not have HTTPS in /etc/services

  • 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

  • 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
