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.
Agreed. Steve, if you're still with us, I'm happy to take ownership of perl-DateTime. Since you never commented on bug 730658 when I split out DT::TZ and DT::Locale, I guess I'm already responsible for it. Otherwise, I think it's time to start the non-responsive maintainer process again. 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 It's an even bigger shame that Red Hat delivers an even more outdated version of this package (and more importantly, DateTime::TimeZone) demanding regular updates.
I have an interest in a bunch of Steve's packages that are behind upstream in Rawhide, e.g perl-IPC-Run, perl-Mail-SPF, perl-PadWalker, perl-PAR-Dist, perl-Test-Deep, perl-Test-Differences, perl-Test-NoWarnings and perl-Test-Tester. Steve, are you still interested in maintaining these in Fedora? If you are but are currently busy, I'd be happy to co-maintain.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still valid.
Still valid in Fedora 17 as well, setting Version to 17.
