Description of problem: libmicrohttpd includes its own version of GnuTLS and a stripped down minitasn1 based on libtasn1. Not only does this increase the size of the libraries for no real reason, it might even be a security problem, since a security updates for GnuTLS will likely take longer to appear in the libmicrohttpd tree, and in Fedora eventually (cf. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libmicrohttpd-0.4.2 (from Koji, update has not been issued?) Additional info: The libraries are in src/daemon/https. Symbols got a MHD__ prefix, which means that a patch not only to the build system but to the source files themselves has to be applied to use the system-wide GnuTLS lib. The first step should be to communicate with upstream if they have plans to remove the embedded GnuTLS version, or reasoning why they did this. If they refuse to do so a patch must be maintained to eliminate the duplicated lib for the Fedora package.
A bugreport about this situation has been issued upstream: https://gnunet.org/mantis/view.php?id=1495
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Since the last version packaged is from June, but the upstream bug reports says fixed only in July I assume this is not fixed, yet. Therefore reassigning to rawhide. What are the plans for upgrading to 0.9.2? Are there compatibility problems to be expected?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
