Fedora Project

Updated perl-IO-Multiplex to 1.15 in F-22 and Rawhide:
- Move untie patch to the right place

Local Packages

Updated GeoIP-GeoLite-data to create the GeoIP.dat symlink in %posttrans rather than including it as a %config(noreplace) file; had to be careful to handle upgrades properly:

%posttrans
# Create the default GeoIP.dat as a symlink to GeoLiteCountry.dat
#
# This has to be done in %posttrans rather than %post because an old
# package's GeoIP.dat may still be present during %post in an upgrade
#
# Don't do this if there is any existing GeoIP.dat, as we don't want to
# override what the user has put there
#
# Also, if there's an existing GeoIP.dat.rpmsave, we're probably doing
# an upgrade from an old version of GeoIP that packaged GeoIP.dat as
# %config(noreplace), so rename GeoIP.dat.rpmsave back to GeoIP.dat
# instead of creating a new symlink
if [ ! -e %{_datadir}/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat ]; then
        if [ -e %{_datadir}/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.rpmsave ]; then
                mv %{_datadir}/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.rpmsave \
                        %{_datadir}/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
        else
                ln -sf GeoLiteCountry.dat %{_datadir}/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
        fi
fi
exit 0

Updated perl-IO-Multiplex to 1.15 as per the Fedora version
