Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Math-BigInt-GMP (1.6005) in Rawhide to fix build --with author_tests

  • Submitted a review request for a perl-File-Copy-Recursive-Reduced (0.003) package, which was quickly reviewed and approved by Robert-AndrĂ© Mauchin - thanks Robert!

  • Imported and built perl-File-Copy-Recursive-Reduced (0.003) in F-26, F-27, F-28, Rawhide and EPEL-7

  • Updated perl-Module-Build-XSUtil to 0.19 in Rawhide:

    • Use File::Copy::Recursive::Reduced instead of File::Copy::Recursive (GH#13)

Local Packages

  • New package perl-File-Copy-Recursive-Reduced (0.003)

  • Updated java-1.8.0-oracle to Java SE 8 Update 172

  • Updated perl-Module-Build-XSUtil to 0.19 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.057:

    • Allow ->asserts( 'a*' ); this modification actually allows wildcards in asserts() on all match semantic modifiers, but it is probably only useful in the case of 'a*', because that is the only one that can be doubled

    • Explain grouping structure as 'Grouping', not 'Capture or grouping'
    • Caret modifier was not turning off /n, which was complicated by the fact that (?^) was introduced in 5.13.6, but (?n) was not introduced until 5.21.8; the solution was to include -n in the expansion of the caret if and only if /n had been seen in the scope of the caret

    • Recognize caret in /(?^)x/

    • Acknowledge Regexp::Parsertron in SEE ALSO

  • Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 1.002002:

    • Compatibility with constants and with CV-in-stash optimisation (CPAN RT#123408)
