description:
BearSSL is an implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol (RFC 5246) written in C.
It aims at offering the following features:

- Be correct and secure. In particular, insecure protocol versions and choices
of algorithms are not supported, by design; cryptographic algorithm
implementations are constant-time by default.

- Be small, both in RAM and code footprint. For instance, a minimal server
implementation may fit in about 20 kilobytes of compiled code and 25 kilobytes
of RAM.

- Be highly portable. BearSSL targets not only “big†operating systems like
Linux and Windows, but also small embedded systems and even special contexts
like bootstrap code.

- Be feature-rich and extensible. SSL/TLS has many defined cipher suites and
extensions; BearSSL should implement most of them, and allow extra algorithm
implementations to be added afterwards, possibly from third parties.

Please refer to the relevant policy:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/CryptoPolicies/#_new_crypto_libraries

In particular, don't make the same mistakes as those that happened in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2302646 / https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3267

This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.

Comment 5 Benson Muite 2025-11-20 17:14:57 UTC
Closing for now.
