-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2024-ce5a12dada 2024-11-20 16:45:33.837518 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : stow Product : Fedora 41 Version : 2.4.1 Release : 1.fc41 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 2.4.1 Fix precedence warning with Perl 5.40. Perl 5.40.0 extended the scope of the "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator" warnings to include ternary operators, which reintroduced this warning when running Stow on Perl >= 5.40.0. This has now been fixed. --dotfiles option now works correctly with ignore lists If the --dotfiles option was enabled, files in the package such as dot-gitignore would be translated to .gitignore prior to stowing, and consequently ignored by the default ignore list. However any file named dot-* in a package is obviously intended to be stowed as a dot file, so should not be ignored. To fix this, Stow now ignores based on the name in the package, not the potentially translated name used for stowing, and similarly for unstowing. Use shell-like parsing for .stowrc arguments If a file path or regex in .stowrc has a space, the option previously broke because it would have been treated as two options instead of one. Now it's possible to include options using shell-like quoting, e.g.: --target="$HOME/dir with space in/file with space in" --ignore=\\$FOO\\$ Make dependency on LaTeX optional Previously, the installation instructions always built a PDF version of the manual, which required having LaTeX installed. However LaTeX is a large program which can be awkward to install, so this has now been made optional, and by default the PDF manual is not part of the build. It can still be built via make pdf, and this is documented. Fix Docker builds. Fix the return error 100 that was happening when trying to run the build script with docker. Various maintainer tweaks Further improved the release process and its documentation in various minor ways. Perl 5.40 has been added to the test matrix. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Nov 11 2024 Michel Lind <salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 2.4.1-1 - Update to 2.4.1 upstream release - Resolves: rhbz#2310764 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2310764 - stow-2.4.1 is available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2310764 [ 2 ] Bug #2324275 - 2.4.0-2.fc41 fails on Fedora 41 Workstation https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2324275 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
