#1563 please tag bouncycastle for f11 buildroot override
Closed: Fixed None Opened 15 years ago by oget.

I am going to ask for a freeze break for two packages: bouncycastle and bouncycastle-devel

There are two reasons:
1- Fix the empty debuginfo problem:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-April/msg00509.html
2- The authors gave a bold-faced security warning, and they strongly encouraged users to upgrade this version that they released yesterday:
http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html

I have built bouncycastle already:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1310250

But I need to build bouncycastle-mail against this version of bouncycastle. Can you tag bouncycastle for f11 buildroot override please?


Tagged. Please ping when you've built and tested the two of them so that we can move it over.

Ping!

Both packages (bouncycastle-1.43-1.fc11 and bouncycastle-mail-1.43-1).fc11 are built in koji:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=98793
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=98803

Honestly, since I'm not a real java programmer, I can't do extensive tests. I just tested basic stuff with itext, which depends on bouncycastle and bouncycastle-mail, and things work without issues.

Since the upstream advised to upgrade to this version with big fat security warnings, I think it would be appropriate to trust them.

It's require that you make a override on bouncycastle-mail too, because it's depends on bouncycastle.

I have talk to oget about this issue, because a build of iText-2.1.5-2.fc11 was failt on koji.

You can find the failt build at:
