Updated perl-JSON to 4.09 in Rawhide:
Updated backportPP with JSON::PP 4.11
- Fix a test to pass under perl with core bool support
Updated perl-Module-Find to 0.16 in Rawhide:
Fix an issue where symlink tests failed on systems that do not support creation of symlinks; the issue appears on Windows systems due to changed behaviour in File::Find described at: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/19995
Symlink tests were previously skipped if symlink() is not available, and now also if creation of a symlink is not possible
Fix failing symlink test on Windows (GH#9)
Updated proftpd (1.3.5e) in EPEL-7 to fix unexpected filtering behaviour with mod_vroot (Bug #2104972, GH#1491)
Updated proftpd (1.3.6e) in EPEL-8 to fix unexpected filtering behaviour with mod_vroot (Bug #2104972, GH#1491)

Wednesday 3rd August 2022
Local Packages
Updated city-fan.org-release package to include per-release GPG keys and to reference those keys in addition to the old repo-wide signing key; starting from the Fedora 37 branch point (where packages for Fedora 38 will start appearing in the Rawhide repo) I'll be signing packages with the per-release keys, so all existing releases will contain a mix of signatures with the old and new keys, but the Rawhide repo will only have packages signed with the new Fedora 38 key
Rebuilt dovecot (2.3.19.1) for ICU 71.1 in Rawhide
Updated python2-xapian to 1.4.20
Thursday 4th August 2022

Local Packages
Updated ansible-collection-community-libvirt to 1.2.0 as per the Fedora version
Updated the city-fan.org-release package for the development (Rawhide) repo to include the package signing key for Fedora 38 already, so that it will be available for checking signatures immediately after the Fedora 37 branch point when packages will start to be signed with that key
Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 1.016007:
Added: Type::Params now has a 'strictness' option, which if set to false (or certain strings of Perl code that evaluate to false) will skip type checks apart from when needed for coercions, skip parameter count checks, and skip checks for unknown named parameters; you generally don't want to set it to false or indeed set it at all
Updated python2-xapian to 1.4.20 in F-36
Sunday 7th August 2022
Fedora Project
Updated perl-IPC-Run to 20220807.0 in Rawhide:
- If your applications rely on portability to Windows, see new documentation sections "argument-passing rules are program-specific" and "batch files"
- This release fixes bugs in runs of Windows programs that use standard command line parsing rules
Runs of non-standard programs may require changes; notable non-standard programs include cmd.exe, cscript.exe, and Cygwin programs
Skip t/pty.t test on NetBSD too (GH#140)
Add strict/warnings
Follow Windows argument quoting rules (GH#142)
Allow win32_newlines.t to actually run (GH#146)
Make t/pty.t test pass on OpenBSD (GH#150)
Support Win32 commands having non-standard command line parsing rules (GH#148)
- Support executing Win32 batch files
Add IPC::Run::Win32Process, for delivering non-standard command lines
Fix reporting of Win32::Process::Create() errors
On Windows, avoid hang when closing read end of pipe (GH#156)
Ignore known test failure on msys - t/windows_search_path.t (GH#155)
Avoid warning with IPCRUNDEBUG, in Windows spawned children
Use $^X, not 'perl', in tests
- Thanks to the new active developer: Noah Misch!
- If your applications rely on portability to Windows, see new documentation sections "argument-passing rules are program-specific" and "batch files"

Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 1.016008:
Added: Type::Params now has a 'goto_next' option, which if set to a coderef will generate a signature which on success, instead of returning @_, passes @_ to the coderef; if 'goto_next' is set to true, the signature instead expects to be passed such a coderef as its first argument
Eval::TypeTiny::CodeAccumulator now better handles placeholders
Type::Params 'wrap_subs' and 'wrap_methods' internally use 'goto_next'

Local Packages
Updated libxslt to 1.1.36 (see NEWS for details)
- I packaged the Python 3 bindings from Fedora 37 onwards (as per the Fedora package)
Updated perl-DateTime-Locale to 1.36:
Fixed misparsing of the 'be-tarask' locale code (GH#32)
- This is a locale with just a language name and a variant
- The locale parsing code assumed that all two-part locale codes had either a script or territory, not a variant; this caused the catalog to show the name of this locale as "Belarusian", the same as the 'be' code
Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 2.030000 as per the Fedora version
