Description Johan Almqvist 2023-01-16 21:45:42 UTC

Please create an rpm for the most recent stable version of proftpd, 1.3.8

It has some crucial features needed to manage/disable SSH and SSL ciphers that are considered as weak or vulnerable.

Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2023-01-17 17:29:41 UTC

I'm quite reluctant to do major version updates in existing Fedora/EPEL releases as they might cause behavioural changes for existing users.

However, I do have 1.3.8 builds available in my personal repo here:
http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/misc/

Another possibility would be to build it in COPR.

Would either of those work for you?
