Paul's Blog Entries for August 2016

Monday 1st August 2016

Fedora Project

Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.77 in F-25 and Rawhide:
- Fixed incorrect size to memset in tlsext_ticket_key_cb_invoke

Local Packages

Updated dovecot (2.2.25) to update pigeonhole to 0.4.15:
- vacation extension: The sieve_user_email setting is now used in the check for implicit delivery
- imapsieve plugin: For any mail transaction, the mailbox was opened a second time, even if no mailbox rule matched; this was unintentional, useless and caused problems when the imapsieve plugin was used with other plugins like acl
- extprograms plugin: Significantly improved error handling; no stream errors were logged
- extprograms plugin: Fixed bug in handling of result code from remote program (script service)
- extprograms plugin: Connection to remote program service was not retried
- Several small fixes based on static analysis
- Fixed handling of quoted string localparts in email addresses
Updated perl-Data-Dump-Streamer to 2.39, and added fix for JSON::XS ≥ 3.02 (CPAN RT#112960)
Updated perl-Array-Diff (0.07), perl-Carp-Clan (6.06), perl-Convert-BinHex (1.125), perl-Coro (6.511), perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements (2.140), perl-DateTime (1.34), perl-DBI (1.636) and perl-Declare-Constraints-Simple (0.03) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot

Tuesday 2nd August 2016

Fedora Project

Updated perl-Test-Valgrind to 1.19 in F-25 and Rawhide:
- valgrind 3.1x will no longer be treated as valgrind 3.1.0, causing the wrong command line arguments to be used (Debian bug 832833)
- The number of callers is now capped at 24, as this is the maximum number supported by valgrind; a higher number of frames could lead to the generation of unusable suppressions in both old and recent versions of valgrind

Updated perl-Test-Valgrind to 1.19 as per the Fedora version
Updated smbldap-tools as per the Fedora version
Updated weblint (1.9.3) not to ship code with 'use lib /home/neilb/...' in it, and do a general clean-up of the package whilst I was at it
Updated shorten (3.6.1) and xz (5.2.2) to specify their build requirements

Wednesday 3rd August 2016

Fedora Project

Updated gnome-libs (1.4.2) in Rawhide to specify all build requirements
Updated perl-Crypt-Primes (0.50) in Rawhide to try to fix intermittent build failures due to the Pari stack filling up whilst running the test suite:

Fedora Project

Updated perl-DateTime to 1.35 in F-25 and Rawhide:

- Change a linear algorithm (O(n)) in 'Components.registerUtility' and 'Components.unregisterUtility' into a dictionary lookup (O(1)) for hashable components, which substantially improves the time taken to manipulate utilities in large registries at the cost of some additional memory usage (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/46)
