Fedora Project
Updated perl-Config-General to 2.65 in Rawhide:
Copy 'default' hash, avoid modifying it (CPAN RT#142095)
Catalyst subversion repository no longer exists, so code moved to GitHub: https://github.com/TLINDEN/Config-General
Clarified license, which is now Artistic License 2.0 (CPAN RT#132893)
Correctly include directories (CPAN RT#139261)
Remove the comma from legal variable names, added mandatory start characters a-zA-Z0-9 (CPAN RT#118746); added a section in the POD to clarify this
Fix IfDefine code (CPAN RT#119160)
Updated perl-Math-Pari to 2.030523 (see Changes for details)
Retired perl-Crypt-RSA from Rawhide
The perl-Crypt-RSA package was introduced in Fedora as part of the dependency chain for perl-Net-SSH-Perl. That package has since moved to using perl-CryptX instead so there is nothing left in Fedora that depends on perl-Crypt-RSA.
The last release of Crypt-RSA was in 2009. Dana Jacobsen created an alternative implementation (https://metacpan.org/dist/Alt-Crypt-RSA-BigInt) that avoided the need for Math::Pari, which would be a big win itself due to the difficulty in packaging that module, but that implementation doesn't look to have gained any traction.
I am therefore retiring the perl-Crypt-RSA package, along with some other packages that are only used as part of the dependency tree for perl-Crypt-RSA:
perl-Crypt-Primes
perl-Crypt-Random
perl-Math-Pari
