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 smbldap-tools (0.9.11) in Rawhide to build-require perl-generators for proper dependecy generation

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent (7.12) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot

  • Updated perl-HTTP-SimpleLinkChecker (1.163), perl-HTTP-Size (1.15), perl-Test-File (1.44) not to ship README.pod alongside the perl code, which was happening when built with old versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker on legacy distributions

  • Updated perl-Module-Build (0.4218) and weblint++ (1.15) to build-require perl-generators where available for proper dependency generation

  • Updated perl-Test-Prereq (1.039) not to ship README.pod alongside the perl code, and also to patch the test suite to work with perl 5.20.3 on Fedora 22

  • 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
