Tuesday 8th December 2015

Fedora Project

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.2.20:

    • Added mailbox { autoexpunge=<time> } setting; see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings for details

    • ssl_options: Added support for no_ticket

    • imap/pop3/managesieve-login: Added postlogin_socket=path passdb extra field; this allows replacing the default service imap/pop3/managesieve {} settings for specific users (e.g. running their imap process via valgrind or strace)

    • doveadm fetch: Added date.sent/received/saved.unixtime

    • fs-posix: Added mode=auto parameter to set the created files' and directories' mode based on the parent dir if it has setgid-bit

    • director: Support backends having hostnames, which makes it possible to verify their SSL certificates

    • director: Directors' state became desynchronized if doveadm director commands were used to modify the same backend in multiple directors at the same time with conflicting changes; this fix includes some extra checks, which makes sure that if such a conflict still happens it's automatically fixed, though in some situations such an automatic fix may now be unnecessarily triggered and an error logged

    • director: Backend tags weren't working correctly

    • ldap: tls_* settings weren't used for ldaps URIs

    • ldap, mysql: Fixed setting connect timeout

    • auth: userdb lookups via auth-worker couldn't change username

    • dsync: Fixed handling deleted directories; make sure we don't go to infinite mailbox renaming loop

    • imap: Fixed crash in NOTIFY when there were watched namespaces that didn't support NOTIFY

    • imap: After SETMETADATA was used, various commands (especially FETCH) could have started hanging when their output was large

    • stats: Idle sessions weren't refreshed often enough, causing stats process to forget them and log errors about unknown sessions when they were updated later

    • stats: Fixed "Duplicate session ID" errors when LMTP delivered to multiple recipients and fts_autoindex=yes

    • zlib plugin: Fixed copying causing cache corruption when zlib_save wasn't set, but the source message was compressed

    • fts-solr: Fixed escaping Solr query parameters

    • lmtp: quota_full_tempfail=yes was ignored with lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes

Wednesday 9th December 2015

Fedora Project

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-CPANfile to 0.07:

    • Supported recommends, suggests, conflicts

  • Updated perl-Net-DNS to 1.04:

    • Fix CPAN RT#109183: Semantics of "retry" and "retrans" options has changed with 1.03

    • Fix CPAN RT#109152: Deprecated method make_query_packet breaks calling code

    • Fix CPAN RT#109135: Resolver behaves differently with long and short IPv6 address format

    • Fix CPAN RT#108745: Net::DNS::Resolver bgsend

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.044:

    • Recognize postfix dereference if desired, controlled by the Boolean argument 'postderef' passed to PPIx::Regexp->new(); the default is false, but will become true if postfix dereference becomes mainstream Perl 5

    • Add explain() and supporting methods main_structure() and in_regex_set(); the explain() method returns a brief explanation of what the element does

    • Restrict recognition of back references in replacement strings to \number form, since Perl itself does not recognize \g{...} or \k{...} there

    • Allow nesting of \Q with \U, \L, and \F (the perlop docs say these nest with each other); playing with Perl suggests that \U, \L and \F supersede each other, but that they as a group nest with \Q in either order, so that if you specify \Q and one of the \U, \L, \F group, you need two \Es to turn them all back off

Thursday 10th December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.022 in Rawhide:

    • Fix stringification of IPv6 inside subjectAltNames in Utils::CERT_asHash (CPAN RT#110253)

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.022 as per the Fedora version

Friday 11th December 2015

Monday 14th December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements to 2.140 in Rawhide:

    • Added method for getting structured requirements
    • Skips impossible tests on Perls earlier than 5.8.0 (before v-string magic)
    • On Perls before 5.8.1, pad 1-part and 2-part literal v-strings to avoid old version.pm bugs with v-strings less than 3 characters

    • Protect internal _isa_version from non-refs that pass ->isa('version')

    • Much better error messages, explaining what conflicted and how
    • Repackage with fixed tests
    • Expanded dist.ini from author bundle to individual plugins

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.018 in Rawhide:

    • Generated from ETHER/YAML-Tiny-1.69.tar.gz

  • Updated perl-GD (2.56) in Rawhide to fix FTBFS with new freetype 2.6.2 (Bug #1291200); workaround is to make the failing image comparison test a TODO test

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.2.21 and pigeonhole to 0.4.10:

    • Updated dovecot to 2.2.21:

      • doveadm mailbox list (and some others) were broken in v2.2.20

      • director: Fixed making backend changes when running with only a single director server

      • virtual plugin: Fixed crash when trying to open nonexistent autocreated backend mailbox

    • Updated pigeonhole to 0.4.10:
      • Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703); the interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses, i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime

      • Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the ':text' body transform; it now extracts text for HTML message parts

      • Sieve enotify extension: mailto method: Implemented the sieve_notify_mailto_envelope_from setting, which allows configuring the source of the notification sender address for e-mail notifications; this is similar to what already can be configured for redirect

      • Added a sieve_enabled (defaults to 'yes') setting that allows explicitly disabling Sieve processing for particular users; this used to be possible by setting 'sieve=', but ever since the sieve_before, sieve_after and sieve_default settings were added, this method was no longer reliable

      • variables extension: Fixed handling of empty string by the ':length' set modifier; an empty string yielded an empty string rather than "0"

      • Fixed memory leak in the Sieve script byte code dumping facility; extension contexts were never actually freed
      • Fixed handling of implicit keep when the last Sieve script is a global one; in that case the implicit keep action was executed in global context, which could mean that trivial (quota) errors ended up in the system log file, rather than the user log file

      • doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crashes caused by incorrect context allocation in the sieve command implementations

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements to 2.140 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML to 0.018 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 5.20151213:

    • Updated for v5.22.1

Tuesday 15th December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Math-BigInt-GMP to 1.47 in Rawhide:

    • Fix problems with the new() method when Perl is compiled with support for 64-bit integers, but on platforms when the underlying OS is 32-bit (CPAN RT#71548)

Wednesday 16th December 2015

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Regexp-Common to 2015121601:

    • Force Darwin 10.0 on Perl 5.10.0 to run square tests in 32-bit mode

Thursday 17th December 2015

Local Packages

  • Updated cdrtools to 3.02 alpha release 04

Friday 18th December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated libpng10 to 1.0.66 in F-22, F-23, Rawhide and EPEL-6:

    • Fixed an out-of-range read in png_check_keyword() (CVE-2015-8540)

    • Corrected copyright dates in source files
    • Moved png_check_keyword() from pngwutil.c to pngset.c

Local Packages

  • Updated libpng10 to 1.0.66 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Archive-Zip to 1.56:

    • Fix $Archive::Zip::UNICODE issues

    • On MSWin32 in methods addFile, addDirectory, addTree: the externalFileName was used in place of newName

    • Make sure that file names are utf8 in memberNames

    • Use Encode on all platforms

Monday 21st December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Warnings to 0.022 in Rawhide:

    • Propagate all warnings to any previously-declared __WARN__ handlers (unlike with __DIE__, merely calling warn() is not sufficient)

  • Updated perl-Text-Hunspell to 2.12 in Rawhide:

    • Replaced ExtUtils::PkgConfig with Alien::Hunspell

    • Note that since we don't have (or otherwise need) Alien::Hunspell in Fedora, I have reverted to using ExtUtils::PkgConfig, which works fine for our purposes

Local Packages

  • Added builds for CentOS 7 i686 alternative architecture
  • Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.62:

    • When on_error was set to something that did not die (including the default error handling), calling ->parse_datetime with some bad inputs could cause the module to error out internally by trying to call methods on an undefined value instead of returning undef (CPAN RT#110247)

  • Updated perl-EV to 4.22:

    • (libev) When epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid SIGPIPE in ev_async_send; this doesn't solve it on fork, so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork

    • (libev) Remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32

    • Updated libecb

  • Updated perl-Test-Warnings to 0.022 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Text-Hunspell to 2.12 as per the Fedora version

Tuesday 22nd December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Exception to 0.41 in Rawhide:

    • Updated for Test2

  • Updated perl-Test-Warnings to 0.023 in Rawhide:

    • Properly handle propagating warnings to previously declared handlers that are not coderefs (i.e. a sub name, or the magic DEFAULT and IGNORE)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 5.20151220:

    • Updated for v5.23.6
  • Updated perl-Test-Exception to 0.41 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test-Warnings to 0.023 as per the Fedora version

Sunday 27th December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Warnings to 0.024 in Rawhide:

    • Remove diagnostics accidentally left in new test

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Test-Warnings to 0.024 as per the Fedora version

Monday 28th December 2015

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-GDGraph to 1.51 in Rawhide:

    • Run samples as part of test suite to make sure no sample crashes
    • Properly define test requirements using newer MakeMaker

    • Fix shadows rendering on cumulative bar charts (https://github.com/ruz/GDGraph/pull/4)

  • Updated perl-Test-Synopsis to 0.12 in Rawhide:

    • Add META.json

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Test-Synopsis to 0.12 as per the Fedora version

Thursday 31st December 2015
