...for supporting the rsync protocol. Shipping an own copy of a system library is not allowed by the Fedora Packaging Guidelines (and bad practise and bad for security). Problem is that rsync does also contain a modified version of zlib and though the modified zlib is needed to support the rsync protocol. This means that rsync/zlib needs to be fixed first. See also: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-September/msg00525.html and follow ups
According to Michael Schroeder, this is not the same fork as the rsync fork. Does anyone know if this fork is necessary or just an optimization? I'm rebuilding against system zlib now under the assumption that this is only an optimization.
mls, jdieter Okay, I've gotten all packages rebuilt but not pushed yet (except F-13 of course). mls, I'll attach the patch I made for your comments. jdieter, can you do some testing? To push this to F-12, we'll want to add information to this ticket about what we've tested: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2240 We want to get this onto the releng boxes in fedora infrastructure as well. But we'll need a change request for that. I'd like to have testing done first so that we can make just one change request. Here's the CVE for the zlib issue that's unpatched in the bundled library. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1849
Created attachment 363280 [details] Patch to build against system zlib and fix to detection of COMP_ZLIB_RSYNC payloads Patch that's been applied or backported to deltarpm
I've just tested the builds for F11 and Rawhide (x86_64) from inside yum-presto (yum downgrade bzr; yum update bzr) and everything worked perfectly. Thanks so much for your work on this!
