Security update for python-Jinja2

This update for python-Jinja2 fixes the following issues:

  • Update to 2.8

    • Added target parameter to urlize function.
    • Added support for followsymlinks to the file system loader.
    • The truncate filter now counts the length.
    • Added equalto filter that helps with select filters.
    • Changed cache keys to use absolute file names if available instead of load names.
    • Fixed loop length calculation for some iterators.
    • Changed how Jinja2 enforces strings to be native strings in Python 2 to work when people break their default encoding.
    • Added :func:make_logging_undefined which returns an undefined object that logs failures into a logger.
    • If unmarshalling of cached data fails the template will be reloaded now.
    • Implemented a block set tag.
    • Default cache size was incrased to 400 from a low 50.
    • Fixed is number test to accept long integers in all Python versions.
    • Changed is number to accept Decimal as a number.
    • Added a check for default arguments followed by non-default arguments. This change makes {% macro m(x, y=1, z) %}...{% endmacro %} a syntax error. The previous behavior for this code was broken anyway (resulting in the default value being applied to y).
    • Add ability to use custom subclasses of jinja2.compiler.CodeGenerator and jinja2.runtime.Context by adding two new attributes to the environment (code_generator_class and context_class) (pull request #404).
    • added support for context/environment/evalctx decorator functions on the finalize callback of the environment.
    • escape query strings for urlencode properly. Previously slashes were not escaped in that place.
    • Add 'base' parameter to 'int' filter.
  • Tests are removed from the package (not distributed in the tar.gz)

  • Use %python_version over %py_ver: better portability to RHEL

  • run testsuite during build

  • adjust dependency to use up to date package name for python-MarkupSafe

  • Update to 2.7.3 (boo#858239, CVE-2014-0012)

    • Security issue: Corrected the security fix for the cache folder.
      This fix was provided by RedHat.
  • fix package build (file selection missing)

  • avoid rebuildcycle with vim

  • update to 2.7.2:

    • Prefix loader was not forwarding the locals properly to inner loaders. This is now fixed.
    • Security issue: Changed the default folder for the filesystem cache to be user specific and read and write protected on UNIX systems. See Debian bug 734747_ for more information.
  • Require python-setuptools instead of distribute (upstreams merged)

  • Avoid 'Recommends:' on old rpm distros

  • update to 2.7.1:

  • Fixed a bug with call_filter not working properly on environment and context filters.

  • Fixed lack of Python 3 support for bytecode caches.

  • Reverted support for defining blocks in included templates as this broke existing templates for users.

  • Fixed some warnings with hashing of undefineds and nodes if Python is run with warnings for Python 3.

  • Added support for properly hashing undefined objects.

  • Fixed a bug with the title filter not working on already uppercase strings.

  • update to 2.7:

    • Choice and prefix loaders now dispatch source and template lookup separately in order to work in combination with module loaders as advertised.
    • Fixed filesizeformat.
    • Added a non-silent option for babel extraction.
    • Added urlencode filter that automatically quotes values for URL safe usage with utf-8 as only supported encoding. If applications want to change this encoding they can override the filter.
    • Added keep-trailing-newline configuration to environments and templates to optionally preserve the final trailing newline.
    • Accessing last on the loop context no longer causes the iterator to be consumed into a list.
    • Python requirement changed: 2.6, 2.7 or >= 3.3 are required now, supported by same source code, using the 'six'…
