Description of problem: In golang 1.2, P224 was removed. This prevents the use of the system golang with certain projects. My particular problem is that it won't run boringssl tests. I couldn't find the original rationale, but I hope that the reason is no longer valid. Since NSS ships with secp224r1 (which isn't even in the NSS tree), I see no reason that this should be excluded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I'm using golang-1.7.1-2.fc26 How reproducible: Perfectly. Steps to Reproduce: 1. git clone https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl 2. cd boring/ssl/test/runner 3. go build Actual results: ./key_agreement.go:349: undefined: elliptic.P224 (exit 1) Expected results: (exit 0) Additional info: I would have added a patch, but the repo doesn't even allow checkouts from unauthenticated users. That's not very friendly to contributors.
This is intentional due to legal reasons and there seems to be no indication that situation changed in a way that would allowed the p224 inclusion, so we can't drop the patch removing p224. Please see BZ#1038683 for more details. PS: I'm able to clone golang dist-git repo using "git clone git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/golang.git" from machine that is not setup for my packaging work(without auth, fresh git installation).
The only mention of legal requirements is this: > In Fedora, we only ship certain reviewed curves. I would have to assume that it is permitted. I work with the NSS maintainers closely and NSS ships on rawhide with P-224 (see certutil --help); they are acutely aware of legal constraints. I guess we'll see what the legal folks say.
This will be fixed in F25 by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038683
