Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-YAML (1.29 in F-30 and F-31, 1.30 in F-32 and Rawhide) to remove non-free test file t/load-slides.t (Bug #1813197, GH#219)

Local Packages

  • Updated c-ares to 1.16.0:

    • Introduction of ares_getaddrinfo() API, which provides similar output (including proper sorting as per RFC 6724) to the system native API, but utilizes different data structures in order to provide additional information such as TTLs and all aliases; please reference the respective man pages for usage details

    • Parse SOA records from ns_t_any response

    • CMake: Provide c-ares version in package export file

    • CMake: Add CPACK functionality for DEB and RPM
    • CMake: Generate PDB files during build
    • CMake: Support manpage installation
    • Fix bad expectation in IPv6 localhost test
    • AutoTools: Use XC_CHECK_BUILD_FLAGS instead of XC_CHECK_USER_FLAGS to prevent complaints about CPPFLAGS in CFLAGS

    • Fix .onion handling

    • Command line usage was out of date for adig and ahost

    • Typos in manpages
    • If ares_getenv is defined, it must return a value on all platforms

    • If /etc/resolv.conf has invalid lookup values, use the defaults

    • Tests: Separate live tests from SetServers* tests as only live tests should require Internet access

    • ares_gethostbyname() should return ENODATA if no valid A or AAAA record is found, but a CNAME was found

    • CMake: Rework library function checking to prevent unintended linking with system libraries that aren't needed
    • Due to use of inet_addr(), it was not possible to return 255.255.255.255 from ares_gethostbyname()

    • CMake: Fix building of tests on Windows
  • Updated perl-Archive-Zip to 1.68:

    • Switched to GitHub as issue tracker

    • Replaced references to Test::MockModule in t/23_closed_handle.t with code from GH#32 (CPAN RT#110087)

    • Unixified line endings in t/23_closed_handle.t

    • Added documentation for Archive::Zip::Member::isSymbolicLink (CPAN RT#130524)

    • Implemented other, unrelated doc fixes
    • Fixed examples/zipcheck.pl to skip symbolic links (CPAN RT#130525)

    • Described version 1.59 (CPAN RT#117371)

    • Completely re-did test suite:
      • Created new test APIs in t/common.pm and documented them in t/README.md

      • Changed tests to be less dependent on OS-specific quirks of "unzip -t"

      • Changed tests to write more diagnostic information if executed in automated test environments
      • Normalized access to test data and to temporary results; removed references to obsolete temporary results (for example, those to directory "extracted")

      • Normalized test headers and brushed up tests in general
