Friday 1st January 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Exception to 0.43 in Rawhide:

    • Remove Test2/Test-Stream special cases; they are not needed

  • Updated rbldnsd to 0.998 in F-22, F-23, Rawhide, EPEL-6 and EPEL-7:

    • Correctly handle V4MAPPED (v4 in v6) addresses; the original v6 prefix was wrong

    • Sometimes IP4-based datasets gave false positives when an IP6 dataset was present, and it was also possible to have false positives in IP6 datasets; both have been fixed

Local Packages

  • Updated cdrtools to 3.02 alpha release 05

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.045:

    • Deprecate tokenizer method prior() in favour of prior_significant_token(); this is not part of the public interface, so I suppose I could have just slam-dunked it, but ...

    • Add experimental ability to parse strings as well as regexes; the new functionality is controlled by the new new() argument 'parse', whose permitted values are 'regex' (the default), 'string', or 'guess'

  • Updated perl-TAP-Harness and perl-Test-Harness to 3.36:

    • Accept YAML with trailing whitespace in header
