d/python-2.7.17-x86_64-2.txz: Removed. d/python2-2.7.18-x86_64-1.txz: Added. OK, I know a few people got excited seeing python-2 removed in the previous entry, but it's just being renamed to python2 for consistency with the python3 package. It's DOA though, and is the final release of the already EOL python 2 branch (a "commemorative" release as they say in the announcement). l/M2Crypto-0.35.2-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. Added python3 modules. Thanks to sombragris and ponce. l/harfbuzz-2.6.5-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/imagemagick-7.0.10_7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/libuv-1.37.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/libyaml-0.2.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/oniguruma-6.9.5-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. x/pixman-0.40.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
