Created python-pip tracking bugs for this issue Affects: fedora-all [bug 968060] Affects: epel-all [bug 968061] python-pip 1.3 is already stable in all current fedora releases (17, 18, 19, rawhide) and el6. python-pip upstream has a minimum python version requirement of 2.6, so the fix for el5 is a bit tougher but I'll take a look to see what's reasonable there. Thanks, Tim. I realized that the manifest I looked at initially is out of date, so I looked at koji and just now realized that 1.3.1 is already in there. If it's possible to fix in EPEL5, fantastic. If it's not then it is what it is; looking at the changeset it's quite significant so might be understandably difficult. Thank you for taking a look at it, however! Closing this bug as the epel5 tracker is sufficient for its purpose. Upstream changelog lists this as fixed in 1.3: SSL Cert Verification; Make https the default for PyPI access. Thanks James Cleveland, Giovanni Bajo, Marcus Smith and many others (PR #791, CVE-2013-1629). https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/news.html https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/791 https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/789 |
