Fedora Project
Updated perl-Eval-Closure to 0.14 in Rawhide:
Various minor optimizations (GH#8)
Updated perl-MCE to 1.708 in F-24 and Rawhide:
Improved import routine in MCE Models and MCE::Subs; this resolves an issue where functions are not exported; e.g. mce_flow, mce_flow_s
Added support for IO::TieCombine handles, which enables MCE->print and MCE->sendto to work reliably with App::Cmd and App::Cmd::Tester; see "Testing and Capturing Output" in MCE::Examples
Updated perl-Test-Regexp to 2016052701 in Rawhide:
Allow specifying how you want to display characters that aren't printable ASCII characters (it used to be displayed as hex escapes); we also now allow named escapes "as is", \n/\r/\t only or "only escape non-printable ASCII", which is the new default
Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.302022 in Rawhide:
- Many micro-optimizations
- Spelling fixes and tests
Fix leaky File.t file so that /tmp doesn't fill up
Move some modules out of the known broken list in xt tests
Add Test2-based tools to downstream testing
Change when PID/TID are stashed (for forkprove)
VMS fixes for Files.t and IPC system
- Improve thread checks to better detect broken 5.10 builds
Use thread checks to skip/run t/Legacy/Regression/637.t
Local Packages
Rebuilt libspf2 (1.2.10) to flesh out the build dependencies
Updated perl-Carp-Clan to 6.06:
Patch tests failing due to 5.25.1+'s deprecated unquoted left brace in regex (CPAN RT#114537)
Avoid failure due to version self-check in 20pre560.t
Updated perl-Eval-Closure to 0.14 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-MCE to 1.708 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Net-DNS to 1.06:
Fix CPAN RT#114351: Case sensitive compression breaks resolver->nameservers()
Fix CPAN RT#113579: Net::DNS::Resolver dies on scoped IPv6 nameserver address
Fix CPAN RT#113020: Resolve::Recurse hangs
Fix CPAN RT#112860: Improperly terminated AXFR at t/08-IPv4.t line 446
Updated perl-Regexp-Common to 2016052804:
When multiple delimiters are given, wrap the clauses inside a (?|); this makes it that, under -keep, the used delimiters are always in $2 and $4, and the string between the delimiters is always in $3
A requirement on 5.10.0 is now in place for the 'delimited' and 'quoted' patterns
The 'delimited' pattern now allows specifying closing delimiters that are different from the opening delimiters
Added a 'bquoted' pattern, which is a shortcut for using the 'delimited' pattern with 85 mirror imaged bracketing constructs (requires 5.014)
Eliminate the use of s///r
Fix issues with matching Roman numerals, where the pattern wasn't greedy enough (CPAN RT#104353)
Allow Roman numerals to match sequences of 4 Is, Xs, Cs and Ms; this raises the maximum number to be matched to 4999 (MMMMCMXCIX)
- Fixed some POD nits
Updated perl-Test-Regexp to 2016052701 as per the Fedora version
