Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Bug 2001937

Summary:	Revert default gnupg2 keys from ed25519/cv25519 to have unified default for FIPS (was: GPG generated with default algorithm is not accepted by rpm --addsign)

Fixed In Version:	gnupg2-2.3.1-3.el9	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: The new GnuPG generates ed25519/curve25519 keys by default. Consequence: The ed25519/curve25519 keys are not approved in FIPS mode so mixed deployment (FIPS/non-FIPS/older systems) could have interoperability issues. Fix: The default was reverted to 3k RSA keys. Result: The GnuPG generated RSA keys by default, which should not cause interoperability problems with FIPS machines or older systems.	Story Points:	---

I was not in CC of the previous bug so I did not get updates (sigh bugzilla ...). Given the current time-frame, would it still make sense for you to revert if for Beta, or should we delay it for GA? There was no update of 186-5 I would know about.

If we're going to change the default, we should try to get that done for Beta.

Stando, what do you think? The suggestion makes sense to me to me and it should be done rather earlier than later. The change would be basically reverting the above mentioned commit. I do not expect it should be a breaking change for any dependent components.
