Fedora Project

  • Philip Prindeville kindly reviewed and approved my GeoIP-GeoLite-data package submission

  • Imported and built GeoIP-GeoLite-data (2015.04) for F-20, F-21, F-22, Rawhide, EPEL-5, EPEL-6 and EPEL-7

  • I subsequently realized that RHEL-7 ships GeoIP 1.5.0 in the base OS, and this bundles the geoipupdate and GeoLite databases, so I'm not going to be able to push GeoIP-related updates for EPEL-7 as they would conflict with the base OS

  • Updated geoipupdate to 2.2.1 in F-20, F-21, F-22, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6:

    • geoipupdate now verifies the MD5 of the new database before deploying it; if the database MD5 does not match the expected MD5, geoipupdate will exit with an error

    • The copy of 'base64.c' and 'base64.h' was switched to a version under GPLv2+ to prevent a license conflict

    • The 'LICENSE' file was added to the distribution

    • Several issues in the documentation were fixed
  • Updated GeoIP to 1.6.5 in F-20, F-21, F-22, Rawhide, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6, unbundling the geoipdate and GeoLite databases and adding dependencies on the new packages instead

    • Fixed a segmentation fault in geoiplookup when the utility was passed an invalid database (Bug #1180874)

    • Additional validation was added for the size used in the creation of the index cache (Bug #832913)

    • Changed the code to only look up country codes by using functions that ensure that we do not try to look past the end of an array (GitHub #53)

  • Updated grepmail to 5.3102 in Rawhide:

  • Updated perl-FileHandle-Unget to 0.1626 in Rawhide:

    • Enable verbose testing for CPAN-testers
    • Consolidate issue tracking at rt.cpan.org

    • Use File::Temp for temporary files in the test suite

  • Updated perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser to 1.5102 in Rawhide:

    • Fix xz and lzip test skip for when tools are not installed

    • Enable verbose testing for CPAN-testers
    • Use proper temporary directory instead of t/temp

    • Consolidate issue tracking at rt.cpan.org
