Description Fabio Valentini 2023-06-12 09:57:53 UTC

c.f. https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2023-0040.html

The last release of the "users" crate was on 2020-10-08. This is also the last day on which code changes happened in the project's git repo on GitHub.

The "sysinfo" crate is listed as a possible alternative.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 08:10:41 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 2 Fabio Valentini 2023-09-12 13:26:23 UTC

There appears to be an actively maintained fork now:
https://crates.io/crates/uzers

This should be easier to migrate to than other alternatives.

Comment 3 Jonathan Lebon 2023-09-12 13:57:31 UTC

Got the ball rolling in https://github.com/coreos/afterburn/pull/1000, though CI will probably fail until `uzers` is packaged in Fedora. Were you planning to do that?

Comment 4 Fabio Valentini 2023-09-12 14:08:08 UTC

Thanks!

I was not only planning to do that, I have indeed already done it :)

Comment 5 Jonathan Lebon 2023-09-21 13:13:17 UTC

This is fixed upstream and will be in the next release of Afterburn:
