Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Sub-Name to 0.19 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Fix checking of SvUTF8 flag

  • Updated perl-Test-CleanNamespaces to 0.22 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Properly find the list of modules to test (regression since 0.19)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.150010, obsoleting the old perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta package:

  • Fixed:

    • CPAN::Meta::Prereqs now fully accepts phases and types starting with 'x_'; new 'phases' and 'types_in' interfaces have been added

    • No longer relies on JSON backend for data structure cloning; this is much faster than using JSON::PP

    • The cloning routine would raise an error on expected types when it previously would stringify; the old behaviour is restored

    • Fixed used of Encode in Parse::CPAN::Meta::load_json_string (cherry picked from Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4422)

    • Added "use warnings" to Parse::CPAN::Meta

    • The YAML and JSON backend variables are ignored when building/testing the perl core itself, where non-core backends are not yet installed

  • Tests:

    • The 'extra_mappings' feature for meta merging is now tested and documented

    • During tests, delete new environment variables added by Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4418

  • Spec:
    • Clarifies acceptable values for booleans
    • Cleaned up text and links of historical specs

  • Updated perl-Sub-Name to 0.19 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test-CleanNamespaces to 0.22 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test-Needs to 0.002004:

    • Fix test counts when Test2 not available

  • Updated python-twisted to 16.3.2 (Twisted Web bugfix; see NEWS for details)

  • Updated perl-Digest-MD4 (1.9) and perl-Dist-CheckConflicts (0.11) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation
