Hello and thank you for your interest. This is indeed planned, but we are waiting for finalizing and approving the draft defining the new gssapi key exchange methods before enabling them to the world: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-curdle-gss-keyex-sha2-08 Generally, the GEX methods are not advised these days and once we will have something better, we will certainly try to disable them. Actually I am not quite sure if I saw your referenced draft before, but it looks like it is stalled, the current version expired and it does not look like moving forward to be accepted as a RDC any time soon. Actually it does not say anything new to me. I will leave this bug open to keep track of things and make sure I will update the list when the drafts will get approved. This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle. Changing version to 32. FYI, the RFC 8732 was published so I would like to enable these soon in Fedora. [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8732 First step is enabling them in Crypto policy. The issue was filled here as it does not look like completely straight-forward: https://gitlab.com/redhat-crypto/fedora-crypto-policies/-/issues/19 FEDORA-2020-89fcf5fea9 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-89fcf5fea9 FEDORA-2020-89fcf5fea9 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-89fcf5fea9` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-89fcf5fea9 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2020-89fcf5fea9 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
