Description Christopher Engelhard 2018-12-16 12:30:30 UTC

Since v2.3.0, dovecot has supported the argon2 password hash via libsodium, yet the packaged version does not. That is due to dovecot automatically building with or without libsodium depending on whether or not the library is installed.

Given that both libsodium and argon2 have been in the Fedora repositories since 2017, is there a reason not to support this in dovecot?

The only change needed would be to add 'BuildRequires: libsodium-devel' to the specfile. Tested on fc29.

Comment 1 Christopher Engelhard 2019-01-08 21:24:27 UTC

Alternatively, if argon2 support is for some reason not desired, one should probably explicitly disable libsodium support during compilation. Otherwise, if the system the package is built on happens to have libsodium headers installed, support for it will be automatically compiled in. The resulting package is thus different depending on what is or isn't installed on the build machine ...

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2019-04-08 08:50:42 UTC

It looks like this is implemented in 2.3.5-1.fc29 (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-6667c9c480), but there's no mention in the release notes.
