Description Adam Williamson 2023-08-21 19:40:38 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: Deprecating libuser and removing passwd package from Fedora
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LibuserDeprecation

Libuser is not actively developed. Most of the depending component have build-time option to work without libuser.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2023-08-21 21:47:17 UTC

This does not seem to be complete. util-linux has been changed to drop its libuser dependency, but usermode has not, and shadow-utils has not been changed to provide passwd.

Leaving as ASSIGNED. This is now at-risk because we're well past the point when it should have been complete.

Comment 3 Tomas Halman 2024-02-09 14:18:36 UTC

Status update:

- passwd is retired
- shadow-utils passwd delivered as replacement
- util-linux dropped the libuser dependency

I marked the libuser as deprecated in spec file (rebuild coming soon)

Last missing part is usermode. This can eventually be postponed and the dependency can be removed later in f41.

This is done, with a slightly reduced scope.

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2024-04-29 09:29:27 UTC

F40 was released on 2024-04-23, so I am closing this tracker. If this Change was not completed, please notify me ASAP.
