Thursday 3rd December 2020
Fedora Project
Updated perl-Class-Singleton to 1.6 in Rawhide:
Fixed confusing Changes entry about Perl's licensing terms (CPAN RT#132843)
Added optional Changes testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING)
Reformatted Changes file as per CPAN::Changes::Spec
Added optional POD coverage testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING)
Added optional Perl::Critic testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING)
Made code Perl::Critic clean
Added optional POD testing (skipped unless AUTHOR_TESTING)
Included GitHub repository URLs in metadata now that source code has been uploaded to GitHub (as of version 1.5)
Included META.json file in addition to META.yml
Set minimum required ExtUtils::MakeMaker version to 6.64 to ensure that all parameters used are supported, to save jumping through hoops to support earlier versions (this should not be a problem since ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.64 is easily installed into Perl 5.8.1 and above, that being the whole point of the new choice of minimum supported Perl version)
- Set minimum required Perl version to 5.8.1; this is in line with the minimum requirement of the "Perl Toolchain"
Corrected typo in a comment (CPAN RT#86336)
Updated perltidy to 20201202 (see CHANGES.md for details)
Local Packages
Updated libgpg-error to 1.39:

Fix tests for new failure caused by locale data changes in DateTime::Locale 1.29 (GH#28)

Updated perl-Convert-UUlib to 1.8:

Update large decoder example to disable OPT_AUTOCHK and use Smerge -1
- Some micro-optimizations
- Avoid costly string comparisons by comparing hashes when inserting items, which speeds up insertion by a constant factor
Improve uulist (and other) structure layout and size
- Reverse the order of file list items, which heuristically improves match speed with large usenet file lists
Use getc instead of fgetc, which makes no difference on gnu/linux
Clean up _FP symbol names not to start with an underscore
Use feof_unlocked and ferror_unlocked
Implement a faster ASCII-only strnicmp

- Remove quite a bit of pre-posix/dos/etc. cruft

Fixed handling of Etc/GMT[+-]XX zones: confusingly, the POSIX interpretation is that Etc/GMT+1 is 1 hour behind UTC, and Etc/GMT-1 is 1 hour ahead, which is the opposite of what this module started doing in the 2.38 release when it added support for these zones (GH#47)

Thursday 31st December 2020
Fedora Project
Updated python-invoke to 1.5.0 in Rawhide:
Allow any string-compatible object to be passed to 'Context.cd', enabling use of (for example) 'pathlib.Path' instances (GH#454, GH#577, GH#583, GH#607, GH#681)
Don't silently discard help text for task arguments whose names happen to contain underscores (GH#409, GH#580, GH#611)
Don't silently ignore task help specifiers that don't actually map to the decorated task's arguments (e.g. '@task(help={"foo": "help for foo"})' wrapping a task without a 'foo' argument) (GH#398, GH#580, GH#611)
Allow subcollections to act as the default 'tasks' of their parent collections (via the new 'default' kwarg to '~invoke.collection.Collection.add_collection'); this means that non-trivial task trees can specify, e.g. "use my test subcollection's default task as the global default task" and similar (GH#197)
- Enhanced test coverage in a handful of modules whose coverage was under 90%
'~invoke.context.MockContext' now populates its 'NotImplementedError' exception instances (typically raised when a command is executed that had no pre-prepared result) with the command string that triggered them; this makes it much easier to tell what exactly in a test caused the error
'~invoke.context.MockContext' now accepts a few quality-of-life shortcuts as keys and values in its 'run'/'sudo' arguments:
- Keys may be compiled regular expression objects, as well as strings, and will match any calls whose commands match the regex
Values may be 'True' or 'False' as shorthand for otherwise empty '~invoke.runners.Result' objects with exit codes of '0' or '1' respectively
Values may also be strings, as shorthand for otherwise empty '~invoke.runners.Result' objects with those strings given as the 'stdout' argument
Add a new 'repeat' kwarg to '~invoke.context.MockContext' which, when True (default: False) causes stored results for its methods to be yielded repeatedly instead of consumed (GH#441)
Immutable iterable result values handed to '~invoke.context.MockContext' would yield errors (due to the use of 'pop()'); the offending logic has been retooled to be more iterator-focused and now works for tuples and etc.
- Update the testing documentation a bit: cleaned up existing examples and added new sections for the other updates in the 1.5 release
Automatically populate the 'command' attribute of '~invoke.runners.Result' objects returned by '~invoke.context.MockContext' methods, with the command string triggering that result; previously, users had to do this by hand or otherwise suffered inaccurate result objects (GH#700)
Upgrade '~invoke.context.MockContext' to wrap its methods in 'Mock' objects if the '(unittest.)mock' library is importable; this makes testing Invoke-using codebases even easier
