Description Ville Skyttä 2014-05-29 11:07:44 UTC
rsync 3.1.0-3 reverts to using bundled zlib, and doesn't tell why in the rpm changelog or git commit message. This is not allowed; if it's not possible to get rid of the bundling, an exception needs to be acquired from FPC and marked as appropriate in the specfile.

Comment 1 Michal Luscon 2014-05-29 14:13:59 UTC
Apparently, I forgot to include bugzilla number in the commit message and will correct it asap. Since this is just a temporary revert, I don't think the FPC exception is applicable for this case.

Comment 2 Christopher Meng 2014-06-23 05:46:35 UTC
rsync 3.1.1 just released, this version contains support for non-bundled zlib:


"
Added support for a new-compression idiom that does not compress all the
      matching data in a transfer.  This can help rsync to use less cpu when a
      transfer has a lot of matching data, and also makes rsync compatible with
      a non-bundled zlib.  See the --new-compress and --old-compress options in
      the manpage.
"

Comment 3 Michal Luscon 2014-07-08 13:53:44 UTC
We have to wait for wider adoption of rsync>3.1.1, since 3.1.1 compiled with system zlib is not able to use compression during file transfer with older versions.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 17:01:49 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 7 Jason Tibbitts 2015-12-14 19:18:43 UTC
Just a note that bundling is no longer a problem in Fedora according to a recent policy change.  However, the rsync package does really need to have Provides: bundled(zlib) = 1.2.8 so that we can track security problems across bundled versions.  I can just go ahead and do this in Rawhide if you like.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 11:34:26 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 9 Jan Kurik 2016-07-26 04:36:51 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.

Comment 10 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-10-17 10:55:50 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 11 Jason Tibbitts 2016-10-17 16:02:44 UTC
To update the new maintainer on this issue, Fedora no longer disallows bundling, but still makes mandatory the use of Provides: bundled(zlib) = 1.2.8 (or whatever the actual bundled version is).  That doesn't seem to be done currently.

It's just a matter of adding that and an explanatory comment.  I'm happy to just do it for you (in rawhide) and rebuild if you like.

Comment 12 Michal Ruprich 2017-05-03 06:34:27 UTC
Thanks Jason, 

I will do that.
