Description of problem: due to the error in /usr/libexec/anyterm/anyterm-cmd bash script, it's impossible to login via anyterm. The file has this line of bash code: if [[ "$U" =~ "^[A-Za-z0-9_][A-Za-z0-9_-]*\$" ]]; then which intended to match only good user-names (syntax-wise). Though it never matches under Fedora's bash, cause of the quotes. # /usr/libexec/anyterm/anyterm-cmd Username: test Bad username. Username: root Bad username. The correct line would be if [[ "$U" =~ ^[A-Za-z0-9_][A-Za-z0-9_-]*$ ]]; then
Hey would you be interested in maintaining anyterm for Fedora? We no longer use it for our project, so I don't have much of a vested interest in maintaining it / fixing issues. Are you an existing Fedora contributer? If so I can just remove remove myself from anyterm in pkgdb, and you can just take ownership. If not, I'll have to make sure that its ok to assign package ownership to a new Fedora contributer who hasn't gone through the sponsorship process (you might have to do that beforehand).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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
This is still present in F14 (and presumably F15). Can we keep it open for the time being?
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
