Description of problem: The package misses the mkpasswd binary as packaged by most other distributions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to use mkpasswd. Not available. Actual results: The binary is not packaged and thus not available. Expected results: The binary is present, when the package is installed. Additional info: The mkpasswd binary is currently the only tool, that supports most of the new and stronger hashes supplied by libxcrypt. Please make it available to the users of Fedora (and RHEL maybe).
I do not deliver /usr/bin/htpasswd because it's already provided by "expect" package. Does "expect" package fulfills your needs? If not I will package htpasswd into a separate sub-package to prevent from RPM conflicts between whois and expect packages.
And in Fedoras < 28 the executable is provide by httpd-tools. Why was it removed from httpd-tools where it IMHO makes more sense than in the whois?

The executable in the "expect" package is just a simple tcl wrapper around a call to "/usr/bin/passwd"… :/ > If not I will package htpasswd into a separate sub-package to prevent from > RPM conflicts between whois and expect packages. A seperate sub-package would be nice, yes. At least for the time I can agree with maintainer of the "expect" package whether it may drop that particular executable as it is meant to be an example by upstream.
The whois' mkpasswd tool will be provided with whois-mkpasswd package and it will conflict with expect package. If we remove the tool from expect, I can rename the package to simple mkpasswd. I will push this change into Rawhide and tomorrow with whois-5.4.0 upgrade to all Fedoras. First I was reluctant to push it into older Fedoras because users installing /usr/bin/mkpasswd could get a different tool with a different interface. But I believe the only mkpasswd users are "except" users and these already have installed the right package.
Thank you very much, Petr! =)
