Paul's Blog Entries for February 2015

Sunday 1st February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Imported and built perl-Apache-Session-NoSQL (0.1) for F-20, F-21, Rawhide, EPEL-6 and EPEL-7

  • Updated perl-B-Hooks-EndOfScope to 0.14 in Rawhide:

    • Line numbers in shipped code are now the same as the repository source, for easier debugging
    • More accurate dynamic prereq declarations

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-B-Hooks-EndOfScope to 0.14 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.600:

  • Bug Fixes

    • Die handlers (in MCE::Signal and MCE::Core::Worker) are finally 100%; furthermore, eval { die ... } statements behave correctly while running MCE itself inside an eval block, so MCE on iPerl on top of iPython is possible via Devel::IPerl

    • Fixed queues stalling from running (MCE::Queue fast => 1) on Linux

    • MCE Models now set $MCE::FREEZE, $MCE::THAW, and $MCE::TMP_DIR when overriding freeze, thaw, and tmp_dir respectively at load time

    • Pressing CTRL-D now ends STDIN the first time

  • Enhancements

    • Added seven names to CREDITS; David Farrell, Demian Riccardi, Hisham Eldai, Joel Berger, Oleksandr Kharchenko, Wei Shen, and Zakariyya Mughal

    • Refactored ->print, ->printf, and ->say; optimized ->print some more

    • Shorten $_queue to $_Q in Queue; ID is always sent first during IPC

    • The init method in MCE Models can now take an array of options

    • Optimized memory consumption in Handle.pm, Iterator.pm, and Request.pm

    • Optimized memory consumption for ->sendto, ->do, and ->gather

    • Optimized memory consumption for overall IPC in general

    • Refreshed the MCE->new method

  • New Features

    • Added a new module; MCE::Mutex providing simple semaphore

    • Added ->relay_recv, ->relay, and ->relay_final methods to the Core API

    • Refreshed cat.pl and findnull.pl examples to relay the number of lines read; workers output exclusively and orderly to STDOUT in cat.pl

    • Added several examples; biofasta (folder), mutex.pl, and relay.pl

    • The FASTA examples process by records "\n>", not by lines

    • MCE applies additional logic when RS begins with a newline character; e.g. RS => "\n>"; it trims away characters after the newline and prepends them to the next record, which happens automatically when not slurping, and otherwise, the logic is applied to the first and last records only (this is illustrated in the Core API documentation)

    • Updated the Core API documentation (RS, added relay methods)

  • Updated perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu to 1.26:

    • Call ornaments() after rl_initialize() to set tty before calling rl_initialize() not to output some characters to STDIO (CPAN RT#96569, CPAN RT#101196)

    • Make handling of iostreams simple (make _rl_store_iostream() return void and remove _rl_fetch_iostream()) (CPAN RT#101078)

    • Fix the Prerequisites section to require Perl 5.8 (it was required since TRG 1.23)

    • t/callback.t: add some new Tk-tests from CPAN Testers' site

Monday 2nd February 2015

Fedora Project

    • Fixes a rare case of broken syntax highlighting after multiple search/replace actions
    • Displays better error/warning output when parsing language files
    • Finally fixes javascript regex syntax highlighting
    • Loading of files with corrupt encoding has been improved

    • Project loading over sftp has been improved

    • Various HTML5 tags have been added, and HTML5 is the default now for php, cfml and other languages that can include HTML syntax

    • Saving and loading of UTF-16 encoded files was broken and has been fixed
    • Various languages have better support, such as javascript, css, HTML, pascal/deplhi, and HTML has improved autocompletion
    • On OSX the keys for tab switching no longer confict with some keyboard layouts, and behaviour at shutdown was improved
    • The upload/download feature has a new option to ignore backup files
    • The home/end keys now work better on wrapped text
    • The search and replace dialog correctly shows the number of results when searching in files on disk

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Check to 0.010 in Rawhide:

    • Bump Module::Metadata prereq for $VERSION parsing (CPAN RT#101095)

    • Consistently require same version of CPAN::Meta::Requirements

  • Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0115 in Rawhide:

    • Fix stack corruption when encoding nested objects with FREEZE method (GH#35)

    • Remove Crypt::SSLeay dependency in favour of LWP::Protocol::https

    • Updated HU.pm and test file to current website

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.012 in Rawhide:

    • Fix t/ocsp.t - don't count on revoked.grc.com using OCSP stapling (CPAN RT#101855)

    • Added option 'purpose' to Utils::CERT_create to get better control of the certificate's purpose; default is 'server,client' for non-CA (contrary to only 'server' before)

    • Removed RC4 from default cipher suites on the server side (https://github.com/noxxi/p5-io-socket-ssl/issues/22)

    • Refactoring of some tests using Test::More

  • Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 1.14 in Rawhide:

    • Move to github

Tuesday 3rd February 2015

Local Packages

Both of the Java packages include contributions from Benjamin Fischer:

  • Improve support for building on EL-5
  • Add the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy

Wednesday 4th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Perl-Critic to 1.03 in Rawhide:

    • all_critic_ok() will now run tests in parallel over multiple cores. So if you have 8 cores, your Perl::Critic tests could run 8x faster. However, the actual performance depends on the size and shape of your code base and your Perl::Critic configuration.

    • If you're using the critic_ok() function directly (perhaps because you want more control over which files are tested) then you won't see any performance boost. I recommend gathering your list of files first, and then passing the list to all_critic_ok().

    • The deprecated function all_code_files() has now been removed from Test::Perl::Critic. Use Perl::Critic::Utils::all_perl_files() instead.

Local Packages

  • Removed getlive, which no longer works and has been retired upstream (I've been using getmail via pop3.live.com successfully for some time now)

  • Updated perl-Email-Address to 1.907:

    • The test suite tests parses more directly, which eliminates a number of misleading (and possibly wrong) test cases

    • Escaped characters in a quoted string are now properly unescaped for the ->phrase method, which means things should round trip better from their decomposed form

  • Updated perl-Net-CIDR to 0.18:

    • Leading 0s in IPv6 addresses are ok

  • Updated perl-Test-Perl-Critic to 1.03 as per the Fedora version

Thursday 5th February 2015

Monday 9th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Branched and built perl-Sys-Hostname-Long (1.5) for EPEL-7

Local Packages

    • Changed bugtracker to github

  • Updated perl-Test-DistManifest to 1.013:

    • Many tooling and metadata updates

  • Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 2.0118:

Tuesday 10th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated GeoIP (1.6.4) in Rawhide to sub-package the data; going forward, this would be better as a separate package, since it has separate upstream releases than the library

  • Updated geoipupdate in Rawhide to include a new geoipupdate6 cron script written in Perl that doesn't download the data if it hasn't changed

  • Updated glib (1.2.10) in Rawhide to work around different inline semantics between GNU89 and C99

  • Updated ORBit (0.5.17) in Rawhide to build with -fno-strict-aliasing

  • Updated proftpd in F-21 to fix proftpd.conf to support a working anonymous upload directory whilst mod_vroot is loaded (Bug #1045922) and to address a very strange issue with the mysql plugin (Bug #1190496)

Local Packages

Local Packages

  • Branched my development repository for Fedora 22, as per upstream Fedora

  • Updated perl-Capture-Tiny to 0.28:

    • Remove test that optionally used Inline::C to avoid spurious test failures; also, Inline::C had become a fairly heavy (if optional) dependency

  • Updated perl-DBD-CSV to 0.47:

    • Updated copyright to 2015
    • Make test-tablename unique for parallel testing

    • Remove perl recommendation from META as it breaks cpan clients

  • Updated perl-Net-FTPSSL to 0.26:

    • The deprecated SSL_Advanced option now causes new() to call croak; all remaining references to it will be removed in v0.27 or v0.28

    • The POD text no longer mentions the SSL_Advanced option at all

    • Added to README the new environment variable created for the test scripts in the previous release

    • The RFC links in the SEE ALSO section had all expired

    • Enhanced _debug_print_hash() to work with regular hashes as well as just GLOBs, and also fixed to follow SCALAR references

    • Now dumps to the log file the contents of the SSL_Client_Certificate hash if provided; it was difficult to debug logic when it wasn't logged

    • Fixed CPAN RT#101388, reusing SSL_Client_Certificate options on the data channel; added additional options to go with SSL_reuse_ctx to resolve this issue

  • Updated perl-Test-DistManifest to 1.014:

    • Fix tests that fail when ExtUtils::Manifest's version is not new enough for the build output during installation (CPAN RT#102017)

Friday 13th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated trac-accountmanager-plugin (0.4.4) in F-22 and Rawhide to include an enhancement from upstream to allow a question as alternative BotTrapCheck field description (which cut the spam account registrations on my local trac instance from about 50/day to 0 straight away), and to fix the test suite so that it works with trac 1.0.2

Local Packages

  • Updated trac-accountmanager-plugin as per the Fedora version

Saturday 14th February 2015

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Params-Validate to 1.18:

    • We no longer attempt to save and restore an existing $SIG{__DIE__} hook before calling a validation callback; this used undocumented black magic poking at the Perl interpreter guts, which seems to cause sporadic segfaults (CPAN RT#102112)

Sunday 15th February 2015

Fedora Project

    • Remove Build.PL (CPAN RT#102126)

    • Edit line lengths in the Changes file to a maximum of 100 characters

    • Edit line lengths in the docs the same way

    • Expand the SEE ALSO section of the docs

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-InstallPaths to 0.011 in F-22 and Rawhide:

    • Make EU::IP compatible with perl 5.6

    • Declare dependency on File::Spec 0.83 for case_sensitive

  • Updated proftpd to 1.3.4e (last upstream maintenance release for the 1.3.4 series) in F-20, also fixing the configuration file to properly support the anonymous upload directory when mod_vroot is loaded (Bug #1045922):

    • Spurious log messages at session close (bug 3945)

    • LogFormat %f variable not resolved properly for SFTP renames (bug 3947)

    • mod_delay allows too-large values, leading to client hang on authentication (bug 3858)

    • Null pointer dereference for mod_ldap logins when LDAPDefaultAuthScheme not configured (bug 3951)

    • scp downloads result in segfault (bug 3954)

    • ProFTPD configuration with thousands of <Directory>/<Limit> sections leads to slow logins (bug 3957)

Local Packages

Monday 23rd February 2015

Fedora Project

    • Error opening ErrFile with PerlIO_findFILE (CPAN RT#101883)

    • Minor updates for BDB 6.1

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements to 2.133 in F-22 and Rawhide:

    • In fixing preservation of "0.00", some Module => 0 optimizations were lost; this restores those optimizations

  • Updated perl-Test-LeakTrace to 0.15 in F-21, resolving FTBFS on PPC

Local Packages

Tuesday 24th February 2015

Local Packages

  • Updated curl to fix a spurious connect failure on dual-stacked hosts (Bug #1187531)

  • Updated perl-Pod-Simple to 3.30:

    • Tightened up the first pass at recognizing a Pod command so that fewer invalid Pod lines will be recognized

    • Fixed bug where Pod::Simple would attempt to call utf8::unicode_to_native on Perl 5.6, where that function does not exist

    • Typos and minor wordsmithing changes in Pod::Simple::Subclassing

    • The Pod::Simple::Search survey() and find() methods now use the same code for determining @INC directories to search; the only difference is that find() also includes $Config::Config{'scriptdir'}

    • Removed "Caveats" from the docs: Pod::Simple has been out of beta for years

    • The survey() method in Pod::Simple::Search no longer assumes that files ending in '.pod' are actually Pod; like .pm and .pl files, .pod files must contain at least one valid POD command, as documented, which brings the behaviour in line with find(), which already required that .pod files contain Pod

    • The survey() method in Pod::Simple::Search now ignores duplicate files with varying lettercasing on case-insensitive file systems

    • When pondering files in a given directory, the survey() method in Pod::Simple::Search now prefers files with extensions in the following order: no extension, .pod, .pm, .plx, .pl

    • The find() method in Pod::Simple::Search now records the './pod' subdirectory of each directory it considers in such a way as to preserve its case on the filesystem

    • The find() method in Pod::Simple::Search now tries harder to find the proper file on case-insensitive file systems when searching for modules starting with "Pod", e.g. when searching for 'Pod::Perldoc', it now returns a file ending in 'Pod/Perldoc.pm' instead of 'Pod/perldoc.pod', as the latter is actually the documentation for the 'perldoc' program

Wednesday 25th February 2015

Thursday 26th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-strictures to 2.000000 in F-22 and Rawhide:

  • Incompatible Change:

    • strictures 2 fatalizes only a subset of warnings; some warning categories are not safe to catch, or just inappropriate to have fatal

    • Existing code looking like 'use strictures 1;' will continue to get the old behaviour of fatalizing all errors; the new behaviour will take effect when no version or version 2 is specified

  • Updated spamass-milter to 0.4.0 in F-20, F-21, F-22, Rawhide and EPEL-7:

    • New options:

      • -C option to change the default reject code

      • -S option to specify a path to sendmail (for the -x option)

      • -R option to specify the rejection message

      • -a option to skip messages that were authenticated

    • IPv6 address support
    • Syntax clean-ups

Local Packages

  • Updated getmail to 4.47.0:

    • Try to work around pathological breakage in one random POP server implementation

    • Remove dead marc.theaimsgroup.com list archive from docs

    • Bugfix: if you combined IMAP IDLE mode with delete_after, getmail would, after remaining connected to the server for the number of days configured, begin deleting messages immediately after retrieval instead of after the configured delay

  • Updated perl-Role-Tiny to 2.000000:

  • Incompatible Change:

    • Role::Tiny no longer applies fatal warnings to roles created with it; strict and non-fatal warnings will continue to be applied

  • Updated perl-strictures to 2.000000 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated spamass-milter to 0.4.0 as per the Fedora version

Friday 27th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated libpng10 to 1.0.63 in F-20, F-21, F-22, Rawhide and EPEL-6:

    • Issue a png_error() instead of a png_warning() when width is potentially too large for the architecture, in case the calling application has overridden the default 1,000,000-column limit (fixes CVE-2014-9495 and CVE-2015-0973)

    • Quieted some harmless warnings from Coverity-scan

    • Display user limits in the output from pngtest (not packaged)

    • Changed PNG_USER_CHUNK_MALLOC_MAX from unlimited to 8,000,000; it only affects the maximum memory that can be allocated to an ancillary chunk, and does not limit the size of IDAT data, which is instead limited by PNG_USER_WIDTH_MAX

    • Rebuilt configure scripts with automake-1.15 and libtool-2.4.6

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for xz-5.2.1 in Rawhide

Local Packages

  • Updated libpng10 to 1.0.63 as per the Fedora version

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma for xz-5.2.1

  • Updated perl-Net-DNS to 0.83:

  • Rebuilt sendmail (8.15.1) to keep in sync with Rawhide

  • Updated xz to 5.2.1 in F-22 and Rawhide:

    • Fixed a compression-ratio regression in fast mode of LZMA1 and LZMA2; the bug is present in 5.1.4beta and 5.2.0 releases

    • Fixed a portability problem in xz that affected at least OpenBSD

    • Fixed xzdiff to be compatible with FreeBSD's mktemp, which differs from most other mktemp implementations

    • Changed CPU core count detection to use cpuset_getaffinity() on FreeBSD

Saturday 28th February 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Perl-Critic to 1.124 in F-22 and Rawhide:

    • The ProhibitUnusedPrivateSubroutines policy can now ignore files that use particular modules with the 'skip_when_using' option, which allows, for example, skipping the policy for roles

    • The RequireUseStrict and RequireUseWarnings policies now regard Moose, Moo, Mouse, Dancer, Mojolicious, and several other modules as equivalent to the strict and warnings pragma

    • The RequireChecked* family of policies has been fixed to accommodate version numbers when use-ing the autodie pragma (GH #612)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Perl-Critic to 1.124 as per the Fedora version
