Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-common-sense to 3.75 in Rawhide:

    • Make build (more) reproducible
    • Removed "portable" from the warnings list, as 32-bit perls (as opposed to 32-bit platforms) are practically extinct and it warns about a weird subset of operations, e.g. 64-bit hex() is not ok, 64-bit addition is fine, makes no sense; additionally, other than hex/oct etc. harassment, there is nothing in this category that otherwise could be useful
