Hi, FPC
I have been working on packaging apt-cacher-ng (caching proxy server) now, please see [1].
[1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074147
apt-cacher-ng uses a sha1 library, Uwe Hollerbach's modified from Peter C. Gutmann's implementation.
{{{ / heavily modified by Uwe Hollerbach <uh@alumni.caltech edu> / / from Peter C. Gutmann's implementation as found in / / Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier / }}}
So can you please allow to include this sha1 library in the apt-cacher-ng like md5? [2]

Thanks,
Kenjiro
Hi,
After I created this ticket, I get no response yet.[[BR]] If I misunderstand or need to submit more information, please tell me.
At today's meeting people pretty much agreed with: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2014-March/010109.html
Proposal: Allow bundling of this sha1 implementation for the same reasons we allow md5 bundling. Use virtual Provides: bundled(sha1-hollerbach) to mark it
Thank you so much. I completely agree about this.
I close this ticket.(If I should not close, please tell me.)
Don't close it unless you intend to port the code to use an existing, unbundled library :-)
We put the proposal to allow bundling of this code up for a vote but it needs five +1's from FPC members to pass. So far, we only have 4.
Ah... Sorry!
"One more to pass"
I had to read it.
+1 from me.
That makes +5 :-)
exception added to the no bundled library page. Please use Provides: bundled(sha1-hollerbach) to mark the usage.
Announcement text:
"""
A new bundled library exception has been added for packages which bundle the hollerbach implementation of sha1. See the sha1 entry of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Packages_granted_exceptions for details.
Thank you so much! I will port it soon!
Finally, I released. So I close this case. Thank you so much, FPC.
