Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2019-08-14 20:54:04 UTC

Does anybody feel responsible for the EPEL 7 branch of kdelibs3? I have not requested it (nor any other EPEL branch for any Fedora package, for the record) and really do not want to be coaxed into maintaining it.

The EPEL 7 branch is currently stuck at kdelibs3-3.5.10-78 from 2016-12-03. The Fedora branches are at 3.5.10-101 (and the versioning is in sync, so the EPEL 7 branch is really missing all the changes from 3.5.10-79 onwards). The EPEL 7 branch is missing at least the security fixes for CVE-2016-6232, CVE-2017-6410, and now also CVE-2019-14744, that were fixed in Fedora. Be warned, however, that some of the changes in the Fedora branch are probably NOT wanted in EPEL, e.g., we now use the KF5 DrKonqi in Fedora, whereas RHEL 7 ships with Plasma 4. So you may have to either do selective backports or add specfile conditionals.

Can somebody who wanted the EPEL branch please take care of it? Or if nobody wants it, is there a way the package can be withdrawn before the RHEL 7 EOL which is still years away?

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2019-08-14 22:22:23 UTC

The latest package that was actually pushed is even older, kdelibs3-3.5.10-65 from 2014-11-25! That build was included in the initial taskjuggler update group and then never updated. kdelibs3-3.5.10-78 was only committed in dist-git and built (by Rex Dieter), but never pushed in Bodhi. kdelibs3-3.5.10-65 also misses the fix for CVE-2015-7543 (in addition to the 3 I already listed).

Comment 4 Jaroslav Reznik 2019-08-15 08:33:04 UTC

I'll take a look to backport CVEs. Having kdelibs3 in EPEL is really for Taskjuggler support as there were requests for it. But it might not be the case anymore. Let me investigate this option too (and then we could remove it from EPEL if possible).

Comment 5 Robbie Harwood 2020-01-24 21:42:07 UTC

Hi, was this ever fixed?  If no one's responsible for EPEL, please WONTFIX the bug and tombstone the branch.

Comment 6 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2023-11-19 00:21:00 UTC

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 7 Troy Dawson 2024-07-08 21:39:39 UTC

EPEL 7 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-06-30.

EPEL 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it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.
