1.3.1 release from the trunk series released

Release information
Release notes:

- fix CVE-2009-3560 and CVE-2009-3720, for expat bundled with cElementTree
  affects Python 2.4 and earlier, without xml.etree.cElementTree (#521731)

- always set errors=replace, even for LANG=C or file/pipe output (#244004)
  before it would throw UnicodeEncodeError, as per errors=strict

- must check with os.path.isfile before tarfile.is_tarfile (#531001)

- refactor fnmatch usage, make it work with python 2.6.5 up too (#525940)

- use select instead of sleep, to avoid slowdown with pycurl. (#244466)
- make pycurl fail on errors, to fix issue with authentication (#244453)

- pycurl handler was hanging on fetch, if getting local IOError (#397743)

- also display changelog file for debian-native packages (no ".Debi...

Changelog:

* fix CVE-2009-3560 and CVE-2009-3720, for expat bundled with cElementTree
  affects Python 2.4 and earlier, without xml.etree.cElementTree [#521731]

* tests: super() is only available when inheriting from object [#354027]

* issue warning when doctests add sysconf channels, fix the urpmi test

* must check with os.path.isfile before tarfile.is_tarfile [#531001]

* allow broken deb packages, with malformed Install-Size fields [#512302]
  also allow rpm metadata installed_size to be missing, for RHN

* add test case for slack base, just like the other backends have already

* when running tests set LC_ALL=C, to override systems having LC_MESSAGES
  set in system config that would otherwise take precedence over LANG=C
  and break the expected test output by showing localized error messages

* the distro-init-file/DISTROFILE is used in a different smart process,
  so changing the constant doesn't change anything except initDistro().

* use select instead of sleep, to avoid slowdown with pycurl. [#244466]
  (but no need to update the progress bar more often, as it loads cpu.)

* make pycurl fail on errors, to fix issue with authentication [#244453]
  with test, and make sure the error messages match the expected output.

* pycurl handler was hanging on fetch, if getting local IOError [#397743]
  for instance when trying to fetch a package as a regular user

* fix permissions on new images, they were marked executable by accident

* skip setting mtime, on python bug returning AttributeError [#535628]

* also display changelog file for debian-native packages (no ".Debian")

* add pre-commit/post-commit hooks, as a distro support feature [#245494]

* backport tests to python2.3, so we can run test suite for all versions
  (was missing some TestCase methods, and doctest.ELLIPSIS with friends)

* refactor fnmatch usage, make it work with python 2.6.5 up too [#525940]

* slack backend had incomplete support for .txz type packages [#531307]
  also fix bug when merging the paths of baseurl and location

* fix broken (non-standard) splitarch/splitrelease for the arch backend
  also add the missing versplit tests, for all package manager backends

* always set errors=replace, even for LANG=C or file/pipe output [#244004]
  before it would throw UnicodeEncodeError, as per errors=strict

* fix broken error handling/message, for mirrorlist and metalink [#567704]
  was throwing exceptions instead of continuing or debug-logging

* replace the hardcoded "site-packages", with distutils.sysconfig value
  (making sure to pass the exec_prefix to possibly get "dist-packages")

  the deb_sys and rpm_sys channels are expecting. with tests. [#298023]

1.2.1 release from the trunk series released

Release information
Release notes:

- Tweak curl fetcher timeout to not kill active connections [#389001]

- Do not detect new system channels, when in read-only mode [#388577]

- Use the same Python ($PYTHON) to build the extensions too [#388023]

- Clean up old repodata with unique md filenames (#302453)

- SHA256 digests, in addition to the MD5 and SHA (#331935)

- Unicode dependencies for repodata repositories (#337798)

Changelog:

* Tweaked timeout option for pycurl-based fetcher so that it kills the
  connection based on the *activity* of the transference, rather than
  merely considering the elapsed time. [#389001]

* detectsys plugin must not try to do anything in case the configuration
  is in read-only mode, since its only task is precisely to modify the
  configuration in a permanent way to include detected channels. [#388577]

* - Change Makefile so that "make test" uses the same Python as the other
    targets, through the PYTHON variable. [#388023]
  - Inherit the PYTHON variable from the environment.

* remember the location of any existing old metadata files, so that they
  can be removed if their name changes (like when using createrepo with
  --unique-md-filenames). also refactor loader into function. [#302453]

* add sha256 checksum, as required by newer version of yum createrepo.
  the previous sha1 digest is missing from the new metadata generated.
  this requires the use of the hashlib module, available in python 2.5
  and later or as backports to the older pythons. with test. [#331935]

* fedora now allows unicode in provides, so encode these in utf-8.
  packaging policy change was introduced in rpm-4.6.0-7 [#337798]

* allow building the (C++) ksmarttray with automake-1.11 too [#424642]

* splitrelease method was missing from the non-compiled debver [#435342]

* fix the "nothing"-test-hanging bug, when /etc/smart/channels is not empty

* fix the forking-execvp bug, that killed all unit tests after "debpm".
