-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2024-d8cb9a7ed4 2024-05-01 04:13:22.009324 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : stow Product : Fedora 40 Version : 2.4.0 Release : 1.fc40 URL : https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/stow.html Summary : Manage the installation of software packages from source Description : GNU Stow is a program for managing the installation of software packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be installed in the same place (/usr/local). Software to ease the keeping track of software built from source, making it easy to install, delete, move etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Changes in version 2.4.0 --dotfiles now works with directories A long-standing bug preventing the --dotfiles option from working correctly with directories has been fixed. It should also works in combination with the --compat option. Eliminated a spurious warning on unstowing 2.3.1 introduced a benign but annoying warning when unstowing in certain circumstances. It looked like: BUG in find_stowed_path? Absolute/relative mismatch between Stow dir X and path Y This was caused by erroneous logic, and has now been fixed. Unstowing logic has been improved in other cases Several other improvements have been made internally to the unstowing logic. These changes should all be either invisible (except for changes to debug output) or improvements, but if you encounter any unexpected behaviour, please report it as directed in the manual. Improved debug output Extra output resulting from use of the -v / --verbose flag now appears in a more logical and understandable way. Janitorial tasks Users are not substantially affected by these changes. Added some more information from the web page to the README Made some improvements to the documentation Improve readability of source code Quite a few extra details have been added in comments to clarify how the code works. Many variable names have also been improved. The comments of many Stow class methods have been converted into Perl POD format. Added a CONTRIBUTING.md file Add a watch target to Makefile make watch provides easy continual pre-processing during development, which reduces the risk of debugging the wrong code. Removed texinfo.tex from the distribution This eliminates existing and future bit-rot. Updated aclocal.m4 from 1.15.1 to 1.16.5 This mostly just updates copyright notices to 2021, and URLs to https. Replace broken gmane links with links to lists.gnu.org gmane has been dead for quite a while. Improve support for navigating / editing source via emacs Support source navigation in emacs via [[https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb- jump][dumb-jump]]. Configure cperl-mode to match existing coding style. Various maintainer tweaks Further improved the release process and its documentation in various minor ways. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Apr 22 2024 Packit <hello@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2.4.0-1 - Update to 2.4.0 upstream release - Resolves: rhbz#2273895 * Mon Apr 22 2024 Michel Lind <salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 2.3.1-17 - Use SPDX license expression * Mon Apr 22 2024 Michel Lind <salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 2.3.1-16 - Enable Packit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2273895 - stow-2.4.0 is available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2273895 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
