RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: perl-Date-Manip-6.24-1.el6
Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
Among other flaws, the previous version of the perl-Date-Manip package included outdated time zone definitions and an old API that is now considered deprecated. This update upgrades the perl-Date-Manip package to upstream version 6.24, which provides up-to-date time zone definitions and version 6 of the API. Users are still able to use the old API version 5 by explicitly using the Date::Manip::DM5 module.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-01-26 18:48:54 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2011-01-27 09:10:32 UTC 
Differences in dependencies between current RHEL-6 (5.54) and Fedora-15 (6.21, latest upstream) version:

-BuildRequires:  perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) perl(Test::More)
+BuildRequires:  perl(Carp)
+BuildRequires:  perl(Encode)
+BuildRequires:  perl(Exporter)
+BuildRequires:  perl(Module::Build) >= 0.20
+BuildRequires:  perl(Storable)
+BuildRequires:  perl(Test::More)
+BuildRequires:  perl(YAML::Syck)
+# Tests only
+BuildRequires:  perl(Test::Inter)

All dependencies are satisfied by RHEL-6 except perl(Test::Inter). The Test::Inter module is needed only at build time to proceed upstream tests.

We can skip the tests (which I don't like) or we can import perl-Test-Inter package into RHEL-6 (that I prefer).


The perl-Test-Inter package requires:

BuildRequires:  perl(File::Basename)
BuildRequires:  perl(IO::File)
BuildRequires:  perl(Module::Build)
# Tests only:
BuildRequires:  perl(Test::Pod)
BuildRequires:  perl(Test::Pod::Coverage)

All perl-Test-Inter dependencies are satisfied by RHEL-6, the package is compilable and all tests pass.

    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.

Cause
    Current packaged version 5.54 contains various flaws
    including out-dated time zone definitions. Upstream
    moved to new API (version 6) and deprecated this old
    one (version 5).
Consequence
    The package would provide erroneous time zone data.
Change
    Package has been rebased to version 6.24 providing
    updated time zone definitions and new API. Old API
    is still provided but suffers from unfixable bugs.
Result
    Applications can obtain up-to-date time zone
    definitions and they can use new API (version 6) that
    allows to operate with time zones correctly.
