Paul's Blog Entries for January 2017

Sunday 1st January 2017

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Deep to 1.126 in Rawhide:

    • If objects in the "expected" structure have an as_test_deep_cmp method, it will be called and its return (which should be a Test::Deep::Cmp object) will be used as the test for that location in the structure

    • Internal undocumented class_base routine has been replaced with a different, clearly private routine

    • The LeafWrapper is also used for objects with an unknown reftype (like LVALUE or other weird ones)

    • Removed Build.PL

  • Updated perl-Net-IDN-Encode to 2.400:

    • Update to Unicode 9.0.0

    • Changed generation of tests so that TODO is no longer required when the module author's perl doesn't support the newest Unicode version

    • Spelling fixes (CPAN RT#119468)

    • Possible fix for utf8 warnings under perl 5.8.x

    • Remove author tests

Local Packages

  • Updated xz to 5.2.3:

    • xz:

      • Always close a file before trying to delete it to avoid problems on some operating system and file system combinations
      • Fixed copying of file timestamps on Windows
      • Added experimental (disabled by default) sandbox support using Capsicum (FreeBSD ≥ 10)

    • Fixed bugs in the rarely-used function lzma_index_dup()

    • Use of external SHA-256 code is now disabled by default

    • Changed CPU core count detection to use sched_getaffinity() on GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD

    • Fixes to the build-system and xz to make xz buildable even when encoders, decoders, or threading have been disabled from liblzma using configure options; these fixes added two new #defines to config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and HAVE_DECODERS

  • Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma (2.070) for xz 5.2.3

Tuesday 3rd January 2017

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.79 in Rawhide:

    • Patch to fix a few inline variable declarations that cause errors for older compilers

    • Patch: Generated C code is not compatible with MSVC, AIX cc, probably others; added some PREINIT blocks and replaced 2 cases of INIT with PREINIT

    • Fix compile failure if the OpenSSL library it's built against has compression support compiled out

    • The sample config file is now usable (GH#33)

  • Updated perl-Exception-Class to 1.42 in Rawhide:

Tuesday 10th January 2017

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-B-Hooks-EndOfScope (0.21) to take account of Test::Kwalitee ≥ 1.21 now being available back to Fedora 9 and to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot

  • Updated perl-File-Remove (1.57) and perl-Test-TrailingSpace (0.0301) to take account of Test::Kwalitee::Extra now being available universally

Wednesday 11th January 2017

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.302075 in Rawhide:

    • Add tests for new methods in Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat

    • Add test for as_oct() corresponding to the old tests for as_hex() and as_bin()

    • In Math::BigInt::Lib, add method _dfac() for double factorial, and corresponding tests

    • In Math::BigInt::Lib, fix bug in overloaded "int"

    • In Math::BigInt::Lib, implement much faster versions of _from_hex(), _from_oct(), and _from_bin()

    • In Makefile.PL, improve the wording in the message displayed if some of the installed backend libraries are not a subclass of Math::BigInt::Lib (and hence will not provide newer methods)

    • Fix minor bugs in some of the author library test files (t/author-lib*.t)

    • Allow leading and trailing whitespace in the input to from_hex(), from_oct(), and from_bin(), and add tests to verify; this is a regression (CPAN RT#119805)

  • Updated perl-Math-BigInt-GMP to 1.6003 in Rawhide:

    • Fix syntax for required version of Math::BigInt::Lib

    • Better checking of POD coverage

  • Updated perl-Specio to 0.32 in Rawhide:

    • Fixed a bug in the inlining for types create by any_can_type() and object_can_type(); this inlining mostly worked by accident because of some List::Util XS magic, but this broke under the debugger (GH#6, DateTime GH#49)

Local Packages

  • Dropped the autotools-compat packages autoconf260, automake19 and automake110 from the yum/dnf repositories; nothing seems to be using them and they FTBFS on modern systems

Storage Clean-Up

My build-system server akira looks like it'll be running out of space in the next few months so I have purchased a pair of WD Red 3TB drives (which, as always, I shall be operating in a RAID1 mirror configuration) and I intend to replace an existing pair of Seagate Barracuda 320GB (/dev/sdc and /dev/sdd), partitioned as follows:

/dev/sdc: 298.1 GiB with GPT partition table

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (ST3320620AS), Serial # 9QF1FZJ3

17.1 GiB spare

These drives were inherited from my old builder machine zion (long since repurposed as a children's PC) but the only active use I am making of them now is the 200.0 GiB of data in the VgServerDataZion volume group. Fortunately I still had over 200 GiB of free space in that volume group on other drives, so it was a simple job to move the data off /dev/md5 and free up that space: 

# pvmove /dev/md5
# vgreduce VgServerDataZion /dev/md5

Having done that, I could get rid of the underlying RAID device too. I got the UUID of the device: 

# mdadm --detail /dev/md5

       2       8       53        1      active sync   /dev/sdd5

Then I commented out the corresponding entry in /etc/mdadm.conf: 

ARRAY /dev/md/zion.city-fan.org:5        metadata=1.2 level=raid1 UUID=e5429a07:9e448a9d:5eb96fa5:cbdda65c

Then I stopped the device and cleared the RAID metadata from the underlying partitions to stop them being detected at the next boot: 

# mdadm --stop /dev/md5
# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd5

Now, VgOSzion is a hangover from the old machine and can go too: 

# vgremove VgOSzion

It was then time to remove the other RAID devices still using the drives:

Wednesday 25th January 2017

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.72 in Rawhide:

    • By default, the word boundary checks added in 1.69 are now off; you can enable them by passing "strict => 1" to the constructor (GH#15)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.044 as per the Fedora version

Sunday 29th January 2017

Local Packages

  • Updated `perl-Moose: update to 2.2000:
  • Enhancements:

    • Most delegations are inlined now, which improve stack traces when the delegated-to method throws an exception or when the delegated-to method simply does not exist in the delegatee; previously, this stack trace and associated error were less helpful than they could have been (CPAN RT#46614, CPAN RT#98402, CPAN RT#109631)

    • The stack trace for an inlined delegation now tells you where the delegating attribute was declared (file and line number)
    • When an attribute defines two methods (say a reader and writer) with the same name, this now generates a warning

    • The warning when attribute methods overwrite one another is now much more informative; it includes the type of accessors involve (reader, writer, predicate, etc.) as well as the file and line where each accessor was defined (CPAN RT#118325)

    • Added support for __no_BUILD__ as a constructor argument to skip calling any BUILD subs (used internally by modules like Moo that have their own implementation of calling BUILD) (PR#142)

  • Bug Fixes:

    • Brought back the Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation->_get_delegate_accessor method for the benefit of MooseX::CurriedDelegation

  • Tests:

    • Warnings are only checked for in tests under AUTHOR_TESTING, so as to not prevent installation when warnings occur in prerequisites

  • Other:

    • Increased minimum required version of Sub::Name

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.051:

    • Support whitespace inside [] if /xx in effect; starting with Perl 5.25.9, a space or tab appearing inside a bracketed character class is not significant if /xx is asserted

    • Further deprecate tokenizer method prior()

    • Add 'provides' data to ExtUtils::MakeMaker output

    • Some unescaped literal '{' removed in 5.025001; after '.', Unicode classes, and bracketed classes (including extended), they are still legal

    • Make /\b{/ an error; Perl fails to parse the above, because once it sees the '\b{' it wants to find one of the extended boundary assertions (like \b{wb}), and declares an error when it does not

Tuesday 31st January 2017

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Moose to 2.2004 in Rawhide:

    • When an attribute was specified as 'rw' and you also provided an accessor name matching the attribute and there was an explicit writer, Moose would try to make an additional reader accessor with the same name as the attribute; then Moose would warn about overwriting an accessor with a reader (this is related to the bugs reported in CPAN RT#120040)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Moose to 2.2004 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 1.000006:
