Description:
The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for
building Grid systems and applications. It is being developed by the
Globus Alliance and many others all over the world. A growing number
of projects and companies are using the Globus Toolkit to unlock the
potential of grids for their cause.

The globus-gss-assist package contains:
GSSAPI Assist library

BuildRequires:	gpt
BuildRequires:	globus-gsi-cert-utils-devel >= 2
BuildRequires:	globus-gsi-sysconfig-devel >= 1
BuildRequires:	globus-common-devel >= 3
BuildRequires:	globus-callout-devel
BuildRequires:	globus-gssapi-gsi-devel >= 4
BuildRequires:	globus-core-devel >= 4

Based on the globus toolkit 4.2.1 release.

Applied patches submitted upstream:

Environment variable elimination patch:
http://bugzilla.globus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6480

globus_i_gss_assist_gridmap_parse_globusid and X509_NAME_oneline don't normalize DNs the same way:
http://bugzilla.globus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1417

Fix some doxygen warnings:
http://bugzilla.globus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6482

The package also incorporates the GRIDMAPDIR patch from VDT:

Comment 3 Mattias Ellert 2009-01-06 00:50:39 UTC
This package was updated due to the renaming of the GPT package.

Comment 6 Orcan Ogetbil 2009-05-19 05:35:06 UTC
I went over this package. No major issues. I still have to see it building in koji in all archs and to check the resulting packages. Meanwhile I'd like to ask two questions.

- rpmlints
   globus-gss-assist-progs.x86_64: W: no-documentation
   globus-gss-assist-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
can be ignored.

? globus-gss-assist-normalization.patch seems to be rejected by upstream without apparent explanation (closed WONTFIX). What might be wrong?

? For globus-gss-assist.patch, you say "the GRIDMAPDIR patch from VDT". Who is this VDT, is it related to upstream globus? If not, would you consider submitting the patch to them?

There is nothing really wrong, it is just that upstream does not really care about certificate subject names that contain non-ascii characters. The recommended practice by upstream is to not use non-ascii characters in the certificate subject names, so it is a non-issue for them.

Globus is well aware of VDT (virtual data toolkit) - http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/ - and their patches. They are already submitted to globus bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/globus/show_bug.cgi?id=6192

VDT it is one of the most commonly used distribution channels for the Globus Toolkit. Many users of globus use this patch since they get globus from VDT rather than from upstream directly, so it makes sense to include it. My suspicion is that if I don't include it, I will get a feature request to include it very soon anyway.

Thanks. No further questions.

- koji rawhide build is fine:
