Updated geoipupdate to 2.4.0 in F-26 and Rawhide:
geoipupdate now checks that the database directory is writeable: if it is not, it reports the problem and aborts
geoipupdate now acquires a lock when starting up to ensure only one instance may run at a time: a new option, 'LockFile', exists to set the file to use as a lock ('.geoipupdate.lock' in the database directory by default)
geoipupdate now prints out additional information from the server when a download request results in something other than HTTP status 2xx; this provides more information when the API does not respond with a database file
${datarootdir}/GeoIP is now created on 'make install' (GH#29)
Previously, a variable named 'ERROR' was used, which caused issues building on Windows (GH#36)

Updated perl-DateTime to 1.43 in F-26 and Rawhide:
Added a small optimization for boolification overloading: rather than relying on a fallback to stringification, we now return true directly, which is a little faster in cases like "if ($might_be_dt) { ... }"
The datetime() method now accepts a single argument to use as the separator between the date and time portion; this defaults to "T"

Updated dovecot to 2.2.30:
auth: Use timing safe comparisons for everything related to passwords; it's unlikely that these could have been used for practical attacks, especially because Dovecot delays and flushes all failed authentications in 2 second intervals, and it could have worked only when passwords were stored in plaintext in the passdb
master process sends SIGQUIT to all running children at shutdown, which instructs them to close all the socket listeners immediately; this way, restarting Dovecot should no longer fail due to some processes keeping the listeners open for a long time
auth: Add passdb { mechanisms=none } to match separate passdb lookup
auth: Add passdb { username_filter } to use passdb only if user matches the filter (see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase)
dsync: Add dsync_commit_msgs_interval setting, which attempts to commit the transaction after saving this many new messages; because of the way dsync works, it may not always be possible if mails are copied or UIDs need to change
imapc: Support imapc_features=search without ESEARCH extension
imapc: Add imapc_features=fetch-bodystructure to pass through remote server's FETCH BODY and BODYSTRUCTURE
imapc: Add quota=imapc backend to use GETQUOTA/GETQUOTAROOT on the remote server
passdb imap: Add allow_invalid_cert and ssl_ca_file parameters
If dovecot.index.cache corruption is detected, reset only the one corrupted mail instead of the whole file
doveadm mailbox status: Add "firstsaved" field
director_flush_socket: Add old host's up/down and vhost count as parameters
More fixes to automatically fix corruption in dovecot.list.index
dsync-server: Fix support for dsync_features=empty-header-workaround
imapc: Various bugfixes, including infinite loops on some errors
IMAP NOTIFY wasn't working for non-INBOX if IMAP client hadn't enabled modseq tracking via CONDSTORE/QRESYNC
fts-lucene: Fix it to work again with mbox format
- Some internal error messages may have contained garbage in v2.2.29
mail-crypt: Re-encrypt when copying/moving mails and per-mailbox keys are used, otherwise the copied mails can't be opened
vpopmail: Fix compiling
