Fedora Project

  • Updated geoipupdate to 5.0.0 in Rawhide:

    • Redefined the 'Reader' and 'Writer' interface APIs in 'pkg/geoipupdate/database'; this change aims to to make it easier to introduce custom implementations of these interfaces

    • Changed the signature of 'NewConfig' in 'pkg/geoipupdate' to accept optional parameters; this change allows the introduction of new flags or config options without making breaking changes to the function's signature

    • Introduced 'Parallelism' as a new flag and config option to enable concurrent database updates

  • Updated perl-File-LibMagic (1.23) to use SPDX-format license tag

  • Updated python-crypto (2.6.1) in Rawhide to fix another Python 3.12 compatibility issue (Bug #2186406)
