Description Björn 'besser82' Esser 2018-01-09 19:56:26 UTC
Description:

  libxcrypt is a modern library for one-way hashing of passwords.  It
  supports DES, MD5, SHA-2-256, SHA-2-512, and bcrypt-based password
  hashes, and provides the traditional Unix 'crypt' and 'crypt_r'
  interfaces, as well as a set of extended interfaces pioneered by
  Openwall Linux, 'crypt_rn', 'crypt_ra', 'crypt_gensalt',
  'crypt_gensalt_rn', and 'crypt_gensalt_ra'.

  libxcrypt is intended to be used by login(1), passwd(1), and other
  similar programs; that is, to hash a small number of passwords during
  an interactive authentication dialogue with a human.  It is not
  suitable for use in bulk password-cracking applications, or in any
  other situation where speed is more important than careful handling of
  sensitive data.  However, it *is* intended to be fast and lightweight
  enough for use in servers that must field thousands of login attempts
  per minute.

  On Linux-based systems, by default libxcrypt will be binary backward
  compatible with the libcrypt.so.1 shipped as part of the GNU C Library.
  This means that all existing binary executables linked against glibc's
  libcrypt should work unmodified with this library's libcrypt.so.1.  We
  have taken pains to provide exactly the same "symbol versions" as were
  used by glibc on various CPU architectures, and to account for the
  variety of ways in which the Openwall extensions were patched into
  glibc's libcrypt by some Linux distributions.  (For instance,
  compatibility symlinks for SuSE's "libowcrypt" are provided.)

  However, the converse is not true: programs linked against libxcrypt
  will not work with glibc's libcrypt.  Also, programs that use certain
  legacy APIs supplied by glibc's libcrypt ('encrypt', 'encrypt_r',
  'setkey', 'setkey_r', and 'fcrypt') cannot be compiled against libxcrypt.


Issues:

  fedora-review shows no obvious issues.

Why is it in /lib and not /usr/lib?

> Why is it in /lib and not /usr/lib?

Because this will replace `libcrypt.so*` from glibc;  since the files from glibc are in /lib, we need to put them there as well, because they might be needed at a point before /usr (when it is on a seperate partition) is mounted.

"this will replace `libcrypt.so*` from glibc" so I assume the following problems will be solved too, right?

Yes, those conflicts will be gone after libcrypt is finally disabled in glibc.

Thank you!  =)

Comment 9 Gwyn Ciesla 2018-01-11 14:55:28 UTC
(fedrepo-req-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libxcrypt

Comment 10 Björn 'besser82' Esser 2018-01-12 19:59:40 UTC
The spec file has been imported to dist-git [1].  It will be build after FESCo decided positively about the propsed change and the needed changes to glibc are ready.

The files behind the previous links to the spec file and srpm have been removed.
