Thursday 1st April 2021

Fedora Project

• Updated perltidy to 20210402 in F-34 and Rawhide (see CHANGES.md for details)

Local Packages

• Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20210402 as per the Fedora perltidy package

Monday 5th April 2021

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Net-CIDR-Lite to 0.22 in F-32, F33, F-34, Rawhide, EPEL-7 and EPEL-8:

  • Security: IPv4 octets with leading zeroes are no longer allowed (https://blog.urth.org/2021/03/29/security-issues-in-perl-ip-address-distros/)

Tuesday 6th April 2021

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.89 in F-33:

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

  • Added a warning about using locale-specific patterns; some of these patterns can change quite a bit as the locale data is updated, so using them for parsing does not produce stable results across time - this is what caused the test failures that this release fixes

• This update was triggered by an update of perl-DateTime-Locale for F-33, which resulted in the original perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime package for F-33 failing its test suite if rebuilt

Local Packages

• New package drive-google (0.4.0)

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-File-pushd (1.016), perl-HTTP-Tiny (0.076), perl-namespace-autoclean (0.29), perl-Perl-Critic-Lax (0.013), perl-Test-Kwalitee (1.28) and perl-YAML-Tiny (1.73)
