Description Petr Pisar 2012-07-09 04:33:27 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #838120 +++

Fedora delivers version 0.70 which is too old.

For example it does not implement 2012-07 leap second which has been added by upstream in version 0.71 on 2012-01-05. It can result in faulty time arithmetics now.

It's shame Fedora does not deliver current version of such impotant package demanding regular updates. Upstream changelog:

0.76   2012-07-01

- The DateTime->subtract method ignored the end_of_month parameter. Patch by
  Chris Reinhardt. RT #77844.


0.75   2012-06-11

- The epoch for years 1-999 was broken because Time::Local is "clever". A pox
  on all clever APIs, I say! Reported by Christian Hansen. RT #77719.

- Shut up compilation warning from 5.17.x. Reported by Tom Wyant. RT #77490.


0.74   2012-03-22

- Small packaging fix for metacpan's benefit. No need to upgrade.


0.73   2012-03-17

- Change tests to work with Zefram's entirely rebuilt DateTime::TimeZone
  distribution, which will replace the current implementation. Patch by
  Zefram. RT #75757.


0.72   2012-01-05

- Remove Test::DependentModules from the dep list. This is used by some
  author-only tests. Reported by Zefram.


0.71   2012-01-05

- There will be a new leap second on June 30, 2012.

And Petr, how about cloning this for RHEL? It's an even bigger shame that Red Hat delivers an even more outdated version of this package (and more importantly, DateTime::TimeZone) demanding regular updates.

RHEL-7 is affected (perl-DateTime-0.70-3.el7).
