No data in the bodhi ticket.
Rpm changelog says "Upstream update"
If I google for upstream and look for a changelog, I come to this:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DRTECH/Locale-Maketext-Lexicon-0.79/Changes
in which the grand total of changes between what shipped with F11, and
what is in this update is:
* Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Tie
- Removed a deprecated use of "defined %" for Perl 5.11+
* Locale::Maketext::Lexicon
- Removed a deprecated use of "defined %" for Perl 5.11+
Ok... removing deprecated uses is a questionable at best update, but
here is the kicker. The perl in F11 is perl-5.10.0-82.fc11. So these
functions aren't actually deprecated in F11. So... why is this update
going out? What possible benefit does the user get from this?
Keeping the rpms in
sync with CPAN.
Does
anybody see this as a reasonable update to publish on F11?
If you'd use perl
you'd know.
