Upstream changes:
0.82 Wed 9 Apr 2009 - Adam Kennedy
- if configure_requires has ExtUtils::MakeMaker and it's version
requires perl 5.6, require perl 5.6 for dist in META.yml (CHORNY)
- Fixes to Module/AutoInstall.pm: (MSTROUT)

- tests for extracting link to bugtracker,
will more correctly extract them (CHORNY)
- Adding version-normalising Module::Install::_cmp
(for <=> equivalent on versions) (ADAMK)
- If the Makefile.PL time is in the future by only a few seconds
(probably due to 2-second filesystem time rounding on Win32)
sleep for 5 seconds to avoid the problem. (ADAMK)
- Moving from Module::Install::DSL to inc::Module::Install::DSL
(to reduce the Makefile.PL header for DSL mode to one line) (ADAMK)
- Adding convenience pod reading Module::Install::_readpod (ADAMK)
- Adding convenience pod stripping Module::Install::_readperl (ADAMK)

Upstream changes:
0.86 Fri 27 Mar 2009

merged into p5-IO-Compress
- Updated dependend packages to depend on p5-IO-Compress
and bump PKGREVISION
Upstream changes:
2.017 30 March 2009
* Merged IO-Compress-Base, IO-Compress-Bzip2, IO-Compress-Zlib &
Compress-Zlib into IO-Compress.
* The interface to Compress-Raw-Zlib now uses the new LimitOutput
feature. This will make all of the zlib-related IO-Compress modules
less greedy in their memory consumption.
* Removed MAN3PODS from Makefile.PL
* A few changes to get the test harness to work on VMS courtesy of
Craig. A. Berry.
* IO::Compress::Base & IO::Uncompress::Base
Downgraded some croaks in the constructors to just set $! (by letting
the code attempt to open a file and fail).
This makes the behavior more consistent to a standard open.
[RT #42657]
* IO::Uncompress::Base
Doing a seek with MultiStream could drop some of the uncompressed
data. Fixed.
* IO::Compress::Zip
- Fixed problem with the uncompressed & uncompressed fields when
zip64 is enabled. They were set to 0x0000FFFF instead of
0xFFFFFFFF. Also the ZIP64 extra field was 4 bytes short.
Problem spotted by Dino Chiesa.
* IO::Uncompress::Unzip
- use POSIX::mktime instead of Time::Local::timelocal to convert
the zip DOS time field into Unix time.
* Compress::Zlib
- Documented Compress::Zlib::zlib_version()
- Importing package devel/p5-IO-Compress which updates (finally)
* devel/p5-IO-Compress-Base
* devel/p5-IO-Compress-Bzip2
* devel/p5-IO-Compress-Zlib

- updating module to 1.12.0
Upstream changes:
2.12.0 Released March 28, 2009
- Change large object interface from lo_* to pg_lo_* and make them accessible

- Throw an exception for large_object functions called when AutoCommit is on,
but allow pg_lo_import and pg_lo_export to work. Reported by Kynn Jones.

What's New in Python 2.5.4?
===========================
*Release date: 23-Dec-2008*
Core and builtins
-----------------
- Revert patch for #1706039, as it can crash the interpreter.
- Added test case to ensure attempts to read from a file opened for writing
fail.
What's New in Python 2.5.3?
===========================
*Release date: 19-Dec-2008*
Build
-----
- In the OSX installer, update SQLite to 3.6.7, and change bsddb URL.
Build against system Tcl framework.
What's New in Python 2.5.3c1?
=============================
*Release date: 13-Dec-2008*
Core and builtins
-----------------
- Issue #1706039: Support continued reading from a file even after
EOF was hit.
- Issue #1683: prevent forking from interfering in threading storage.
- Issue #4597: Fixed several opcodes that weren't always propagating
exceptions.
- Issue #4589: Propagated an exception thrown by a context manager's
__exit__ method's result while it's being converted to bool.
- Issue #4317: Fixed a crash in the imageop.rgb2rgb8() function.
- Issue #4230: If ``__getattr__`` is a descriptor, it now functions correctly.
- Issue #4048: The parser module now correctly validates relative imports.
- Issue #4176: Fixed a crash when pickling an object which ``__reduce__``
method does not return iterators for the 4th and 5th items.
- Issue #3967: Fixed a crash in the count() and find() methods of string-like
objects, when the "start" parameter is a huge value.
- Issue #3936: The parser warnings for using "as" and "with" as variable names
didn't fire after import statements.
- Issue #3751: str.rpartition would perform a left-partition when called with
a unicode argument.
- Issue #3537: Fix an assertion failure when an empty but presized dict
object was stored in the freelist.
- Apply security patches from Apple.
- Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.
- Issue #2242: Fix a crash when decoding invalid utf-7 input on certain
Windows / Visual Studio versions.
- Issue #3360: Fix incorrect parsing of '020000000000.0', which
produced a ValueError instead of giving the correct float.
- Issue #3242: Fix a crash inside the print statement, if sys.stdout is
set to a custom object whose write() method happens to install
another file in sys.stdout.
- Issue #3088: Corrected a race condition in classes derived from
threading.local: the first member set by a thread could be saved in
another thread's dictionary.
- Issue #3100: Corrected a crash on deallocation of a subclassed weakref which
holds the last (strong) reference to its referent.
- Issue #1686386: Tuple's tp_repr did not take into account the possibility of
having a self-referential tuple, which is possible from C code. Nor did
object's tp_str consider that a type's tp_str could do something that could
lead to an inifinite recursion. Py_ReprEnter() and Py_EnterRecursiveCall(),
respectively, fixed the issues. (Backport of r58288 from trunk.)
- Patch #1442: properly report exceptions when the PYTHONSTARTUP file
cannot be executed.
- The compilation of a class nested in another class used to leak one
reference on the outer class name.
- Issue #1477: With narrow Unicode builds, the unicode escape sequence
\Uxxxxxxxx did not accept values outside the Basic Multilingual Plane. This
affected raw unicode literals and the 'raw-unicode-escape' codec. Now
UTF-16 surrogates are generated in this case, like normal unicode literals
and the 'unicode-escape' codec.
- Issue #2321: use pymalloc for unicode object string data to reduce
memory usage in some circumstances.
- Issue #2238: Some syntax errors in *args and **kwargs expressions could give
bogus error messages.
- Issue #2587: In the C API, PyString_FromStringAndSize() takes a signed size
parameter but was not verifying that it was greater than zero. Values
less than zero will now raise a SystemError and return NULL to indicate a
bug in the calling C code.
- Issue #2588, #2589: Fix potential integer underflow and overflow
conditions in the PyOS_vsnprintf C API function.
- Issue #1204: The configure script now tests for additional libraries
that may be required when linking against readline. This fixes issues
with x86_64 builds on some platforms (a few Linux flavors and OpenBSD).
- Issue #3678: Correctly pass LDFLAGS and LDLAST to the linker on shared
library targets in the Makefile.
Library
-------
- Issue #3767: Convert Tk object to string in tkColorChooser.
- Issue #4342: Always convert Text.index result to string.
- Issue 3248: Allow placing ScrolledText in a PanedWindow.

give correct results in the case where one argument is a quiet NaN
and the other is a finite number that requires rounding.
- Issue #1776581 and #4302. Minor corrections to smtplib.
- Issue #3774: Fixed an error when create a Tkinter menu item without command
and then remove it.
- Assigning methods to ctypes.Structure and ctypes.Union subclasses
after creation of the class does now work correctly. See Issue #1700288.

sizes.
- Issue #3762: platform.architecture() fails if python is lanched via

api functions without holding the GIL, which could lead to a fatal
error when they failed.
- Issue #2234: distutils failed for some versions of the cygwin compiler. The
version reported by these tools does not necessarily follow the python
version numbering scheme, so the module is less strict when parsing it.
- Issue #2222: Fixed reference leak when occured os.rename()
fails unicode conversion on 2nd parameter. (windows only)
- Issue #3134: shutil referenced undefined WindowsError symbol.
- Issue #1342811: Fix leak in Tkinter.Menu.delete. Commands associated to
menu entries were not deleted.

handlers that derive the same default base class.
- Issue #2495: tokenize.untokenize now inserts a space between two consecutive
string literals; previously, ["" ""] was rendered as [""""], which is
incorrect python code.
- Issue #2482: Make sure that the coefficient of a Decimal is always
stored as a str instance, not as a unicode instance. This ensures
that str(Decimal) is always an instance of str. This fixes a
regression from Python 2.5.1 to Python 2.5.2.
- Issue #2478: fix failure of decimal.Decimal(0).sqrt()
- Issue #2432: give DictReader the dialect and line_num attributes
advertised in the docs.
- Issue #1747858: Fix chown to work with large uid's and gid's on 64-bit
platforms.
- Bug #2220: handle rlcompleter attribute match failure more gracefully.
- Bug #1725737: In distutil's sdist, exclude RCS, CVS etc. also in the
root directory, and also exclude .hg, .git, .bzr, and _darcs.
- Bug #1389051: imaplib causes excessive memory fragmentation when reading
large messages.
- Bug #1389051, 1092502: fix excessively large memory allocations when
calling .read() on a socket object wrapped with makefile().
- Bug #1433694: minidom's .normalize() failed to set .nextSibling for
last child element.
- Issue #2791: subprocess.Popen.communicate explicitly closes its
stdout and stderr fds rather than leaving them open until the
instance is destroyed.
- Issue #2632: Prevent socket.read(bignumber) from over allocating memory
in the common case when the data is returned from the underlying socket
in increments much smaller than bignumber.
- Issue #1857: subprocess.Popen.poll gained an additional _deadstate keyword
argument in python 2.5, this broke code that subclassed Popen to include its
own poll method. Fixed my moving _deadstate to an _internal_poll method.
- Issue #2113: Fix error in subprocess.Popen if the select system call is
interrupted by a signal.
- Issue #874900: after an os.fork() call the threading module state is cleaned
up in the child process to prevent deadlock and report proper thread counts
if the new process uses the threading module.
- Issue #3309: Fix bz2.BZFile iterator to release its internal lock
properly when raising an exception due to the bz2file being closed.
Prevents a deadlock.
