Description Christopher Meng 2015-02-17 02:42:02 UTC
Hi,

As of Nov 2014, polarssl has been acquired by ARM Inc.[1][2], then the name was changed to mbedtls. I think this name is crude but upstream favors this so my opinion is worthless.

Thus this package needs to be renamed I think. Meanwhile I hope Fedora package can carry the old polarssl name with virtual Provides because there is a interim before people really accept the new name.

In 2015, they will migrate the code and website to a new place we don't know now, but another change is the license of mbedtls, which will be changed to ASL decided by ARM.

This is just a reminder, but we need to change the package as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Hi Christopher,

We are aware of the change. I'll start the package renaming process soon.

mbedtls review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193923

Comment 3 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2015-05-29 16:42:13 UTC
mbedtls was introduced in f20 despite the library SONAME was bumped from what was present in polarssl-1.2.12-3.fc20

given that we won't rebuilt dependencies with f20 to be EOL in less than one month, I would suggest to submit an "empty" mbedtls update without obsoleted/provide polarssl.

Other advices welcomed to avoid a broken repository at f20 EOL.

Comment 4 Dennis Gilmore 2015-05-29 17:32:12 UTC
since it seems that only dislocker depends on polarssl I think it should be rebuilt

Comment 5 Morten Stevens 2015-05-31 14:04:39 UTC
Here is the dislocker update for F20:

Comment 6 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:31:56 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 11:27:38 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 13:15:36 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
