Description Jos Vos 2022-03-18 21:21:41 UTC
Description of problem:

EPEL 8 contains mosquitto 1.6.15.  Please upgrade mosquitto to the next major 2.0.x release.  Current release is 2.0.14 (already in Fedora).

Comment 1 Fabian Affolter 2022-04-06 15:24:53 UTC
Updating mosquitto to > 2 will most likely break existing installations as there are changes for the listener and the plugin systems.

Comment 2 comsec 2023-10-24 18:45:55 UTC
mosquitto 1.6 now has at least 3 new CVEs from August, fixed only in v2 series

It's now crucial to have mosquitto v2 on EPEL8

You can name the package differently, for example mosquitto2, like redhat does with many incompatible releases.

This way mosquitto 1.6 will never be updated unintentionally

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