Paul's Blog Entries for September 2016

Thursday 1st September 2016

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Locale-Maketext-Lexicon (1.00), perl-Locale-Maketext-Simple (0.21), perl-Locale-US (3.04) and perl-Mail-IMAPClient (3.38) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

  • Updated python-zope-interface to 4.3.1:

Friday 2nd September 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.150010 in Rawhide, obsoleting perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta which is now retired

  • Added:

    • Merged Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4420 into this distribution

  • 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-ExtUtils-Helpers to 0.025 in Rawhide:

    • Make split_like_shell always unixy

    • Remove Module::Load dependency

    • Remove done_testing; it requires Test::More 0.88

  • I stopped shipping the VMS- and Windows-specific helper packages in order to avoid the dependencies they may pull in

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.805 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Fixed bug in MCE::Queue (GH#4)

    • Improved support for running MCE with Tk; added Tk demonstrations to MCE::Examples

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-ExtUtils-Helpers to 0.025 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser (1.5105) perl-Mail-SPF-Test (1.001), perl-Mail-Sendmail (0.79) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

  • Removed long-unmaintained packages perl-Mail-SPF-Query and sendmail-milter-spf from the repository and stop building them for new distributions

  • Updated perl-Specio to 0.25 in F-24, F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Calling {any,object}_{isa,does}_type repeatedly in a package with the same class or role name would die; these subs are now special-cased to simply return an existing type for the given name when they receive a single argument (the name of the class or role)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-MIME-Base32 (1.301), perl-MLDBM (2.05), perl-MetaCPAN-API (0.50), perl-Mixin-Linewise (0.108) and perl-Module-Build-Deprecated (0.4210) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

      • In my benchmarks this makes constructing a new DateTime object about 14% faster

    • Upgrade to UTS-46:9.0.0 draft and switch to non-transitional behaviour (see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218179)

    • It turns out that the UTS-46 IDNA testcase failures were indeed bugs in the testcases and the specification and not in the code - the post-9.0.0 unicode files have all known problems fixed, so finally the AnyEvent IDNA implementation can pass the full IDNA testsuite - without needing a single fix

    • Guarantee (and document) that condvar callbacks will be removed on invocation - important to avoid circular references

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.038 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Restrict session ticket callback to Net::SSLeay 1.79+ since version before contains bug; add test for session reuse

    • Fix t/external/ocsp.t to use different server (under my control) to check OCSP stapling

  • Updated perl-Test-File to 1.442:

  • As I suspect that upstream will at some point release another version with two digits after the point, I used an RPM version number of 1.44.2 so as to maintain an upgrade path that doesn't require an epoch bump

  • Enhancements

    • When a required attribute's init_arg differs from the attribute's name, we now include both the attribute name and init_arg in the exception thrown when that attribute is not provided (CPAN RT#116814)

    • The unimport sub generated by Moose::Exporter can now be called with parameters like { into => 'Package' } or { into_level => 1 }, just like the import sub it generates (CPAN RT#93666)

Cycling

Rode my bike to work for the first time today!

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-DateTime to 1.39 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Replaced Params::Validate with Params::ValidationCompiler and Specio

      • In benchmarks, this makes constructing a new DateTime object about 14% faster

      • However, it slows down module load time by about 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second) on upstream's desktop system with a primed cache (so really measuring compile time, not disk load time)

    • When you pass a locale to $dt->set you will now get a warning suggesting you should use $dt->set_locale instead (CPAN RT#115420)

    • Bump minimum required Perl to 5.8.4 from 5.8.1

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Clone (0.38) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot

  • Updated perl-Taint-Runtime (0.03), perl-Task-Weaken (1.04), perl-Term-ReadKey (2.33), perl-Test-API (0.005) and perl-Test-Base (0.88) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

  • Updated perl-Test-Assert (0.0504) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot, and to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

Thursday 29th September 2016

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 2.05:

    • This release is based on version 2016g of the Olson database
