https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org uses self-signed certificates?
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
When trying to download my package source files from pkgs.fedoraproject.org
I'm getting self-signed SSL certificates (see details below).
While it's most likely a minor infrastructure issue, I'd suggest exercising
caution when downloading sources from pkgs.fedoraproject.org.
I've also sent an email to admin(a)fedoraproject.org.
FWIW, the certificate information is:
Subject Name:
--------------
C (Country): US
ST (State): North Carolina
O (Organization): Fedora Project
OU (Organizational Unit): Fedora Builders
CN (Common Name): pkgs.fedoraproject.org
EMAIL (Email Address): buildsys(a)fedoraproject.org
Issuer Name:
--------------
C (Country): US
ST (State): North Carolina
L (Locality): Raleigh
O (Organization): Fedora Project
OU (Organizational Unit): Fedora Project CA
CN (Common Name): Fedora Project CA
EMAIL (Email Address): admin(a)fedoraproject.org
Thanks,
Gilboa

havege in polarssl not enabled and maintainer refuses to enable it (#1069394)
by Jonathan Dieter
The havege functions in the polarssl package are currently disabled in
the Fedora package. Newer releases of dolphin-emu, which are in a
popular external repository, require these functions.
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069394#c1, the
HAVEGE feature is disabled because it's "controversial" and "would lead
to security problems", but the maintainer hasn't given any more
explanation than that in the bug report.
Is there any way we can get a second opinion on this? The external
repository follows Fedora's guidelines to the best of their ability, and
this includes the prohibition on bundling, so we'd really like to get
this fixed.

Packaging STLPlus
by Pranav Kant
<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello,<br></div>I am trying to package
STLPlus (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/stlplus/files/stlplus3/"
target="_blank">sourceforge.net/projects/<wbr>stlplus/files/stlplus3/</a>)
library for fedora. There are few doubts I have in mind regarding
packaging it.<br><br></div>1. The library is dependent on another
project viz. 'makefiles' (<a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/stlplus/files/makefiles/"
target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/<wbr>projects/stlplus/files/<wbr>makefiles/</a>).
This project is also distributed in a separate tar ball. This project
only contains few helper files that are included by the
STLPlus library's makefile (Hence, STLPlus requires this package for
build only). Other projects can also make use of this project to write
their makefiles quickly. I think makefiles project is more generic and
not quite specific to STLPlus, hence must be packaged separately. Is it
right to package it separately ? Though I understand that 'makefiles'
name is too general and should be renamed to something else may be
?<br><br></div>2.
Re. Location of 'makefiles' project : Since, it only contains few
helper files, I am wondering what would be the best location for
installing these files ? datadir ? libdir ?<br clear="all"><br>--

Renaming "rubygem-passenger" to "passenger"
by Jan Kaluža
Hi,
upstream asked us 6 months ago if it would be possible to rename
"rubygem-passenger" package to "passenger" and clean-up the package
little bit to match the progress Passenger did in last years.
The reason to do this is that Passenger is not real rubygem anymore and
supports more languages than just Ruby. During the years,
"rubygem-passenger" package deviated little bit and in some respects
does not respect Fedora Guidelines.
I've changed the existing "rubygem-passenger" package to match the
Fedora Guidelines and I'm going to rename it to "passenger" in Fedora
Rawhide. All other Passenger maintainers are aware of this change.
You can see the rename review here:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074515>.
Regards,
Jan Kaluza

Multiple directory ownership including filesystem package
by Till Maas
Hi,
I noticed that mulitple packages own /etc/bash_completion.d/ even though
it is nowadays part of the filesystem package. From what I read from the
Guidelines, it is not clear to me whether it is prohibited or not.
Should it be fixed? Here is a current list for Fedora 19:
repoquery --whatprovides /etc/bash_completion.d/ --qf "%{sourcerpm}" | rev | cut -d- -f 3- | rev | sort -u | src/fedoradev-pkgowners
