This is a tracking bug for Change: Replace glibc's libcrypt with libxcrypt For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Replace_glibc_libcrypt_with_libxcrypt There are https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-08/msg01257.html plans to remove libcrypt from glibc, so we should have a replacement.
`libxcrypt` has been imported and `libcrypt` has been removed from `glibc`. `libxcrypt` obsoletes the old `libcrypt{,-nss}` packages and is used by all applications, which link against the symbols provided by `libcrypt.so.1`. Most of the packages linking against `libcrypt.so.1` are rebuilding sucessfully. Some packages still need to be patched in order to *rebuild* against `libxcrypt` cleanly, but *the present builds* of them *should still work as expected*.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'.
On 2018-Mar-08 we reached the "Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline" milestone for Fedora 28 release. At this point all the Changes not at least in "ON_QA" state should be brought to FESCo for review. Please update the state of this bug to "ON_QA" if it is already 100% completed. Please let me know in case you have any trouble with the implementation and the Change needs any help or review. Thanks, Jan
Björn, can you please provide a status update?
The core changes are complete, but we have some FTBFS bugs due to the required package porting work.
