Tuesday 7th January 2025

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-MouseX-Getopt (0.38) in Rawhide to fix compatibility with Getopt::Long::Descriptive 0.116 (GH#16)

However, this new test checks the operation of the getopt_conf parameter of MooseX-Getopt, which is not supported by MouseX-Getopt. Hence there is no replacement test.
