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: 

  • $ make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
PARI:   ***   the PARI stack overflows !
        current stack size: 4000000 (3.815 Mbytes)
  [hint] you can increase GP stack with allocatemem()
t/genprime.t .......... 
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
Failed 2/10 subtests 
t/genprime_elgamal.t .. ok
t/intermediates.t ..... ok
