perl-Crypt-SmbHash – Perl module to create SMB password hashes

This module is required by smbldap-tools, which I am also planning to submit to EPEL 9.

It provides the Crypt::SmbHash Perl module, originally from CPAN.

The .spec file and .src.rpm are attached to this ticket.

Comment 1 Akiyoshi Kurita 2025-06-20 18:35:27 UTC
his package was previously available in Fedora 34 and is now being revived specifically for EPEL 9. It is a required dependency for smbldap-tools.

The SPEC has been adapted accordingly for EPEL and should not be confused with a Rawhide submission.

This package exists in Fedora 43 <https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2857>.
That means there is nothing to "revive".

So you mean adding this package to EPEL 9.

Comment 3 Akiyoshi Kurita 2025-06-23 07:58:45 UTC
Thank you for your clarification and review. I understand that this package already exists in Fedora and does not need to be added to EPEL. I appreciate your time and explanation.

Comment 4 Paul Howarth 2025-06-23 10:47:32 UTC
The package existing in Fedora does not mean it does not need to be added to EPEL (if it is needed there). It means that the package is already maintained by somebody (which in this case would be me). The proper process for adding it to EPEL would be to request an EPEL branch for the package, as per the documentation at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/

Comment 5 Akiyoshi Kurita 2025-06-23 11:09:45 UTC
Thank you very much for your guidance.
I apologize for my lack of understanding regarding the proper procedure.
I appreciate your clarification and will follow the documented process to request the EPEL branch as instructed.
