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-MCE to 1.805 as per the Fedora version
