I guess people could be running it, but wouldn't you advise them to upgraade? 16:13:08 right this can be applied to any EOL package entering in Fedora 16:13:09 * nirik also needs to read the tickets 16:13:23 nirik: my thoughts exactly, but apparently there are people who want this 16:13:28 right, let's continue this next week, I think we all need to read the discussion in the fpc ticket first 16:13:30 otherwise it wouldn't have been done 16:13:33 yes 16:13:46 nirik: the use case afaik is to enable developing on Fedora for old versions of RHEL 16:14:07 so if we want to support that then we should use the same versions 16:14:11 then yeah, would likely make sense to track those versions exactly 16:14:15 and that IS a valid use case, I have nothing against it in principle 16:14:22 Rathann, if possible cc python-devel as well for the thread when you start it 16:14:29 otherwise bug fixes may invalidate the testing of dev on fedora 16:14:33 yep, that sounds like a very good reason to have them in fedora 16:15:14 cstratak: which python-devel? 16:15:40 Rathann, the fedora mailing list, as most people interested to that hang out there 16:15:58 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/ 16:16:13 well, this is not about python in particular but EOL and vulnerable software in general 16:16:19 but sure, why not 16:16:47 anything else for the open floor? 16:16:57 Rathann: well there should be a reason why its brought in 16:17:47 dgilmore: and it should be a good reason that outweighs the risk of reintroducing known vulnerabilities 16:18:07 do we want to reply for https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1455#comment:38 ? 16:18:13 * jsmith will be right back 16:18:17 .fesco 1455 16:18:19 paragan: #1455 (F23 System Wide Change: Standardized Passphrase Policy) – FESCo - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1455 16:18:37 in next meeting? 16:18:47 sure, maybe next week after the devel list discussion has gotten somewhere? 16:19:13 "Weak password madness is back again" on the devel list 16:19:18 I think this just needs some plan decided... not sure fesco in the middle is too useful here 16:19:19 thanks will accordingly open it and add to agenda 16:19:28 thanks paragan 16:19:34 Rathann: well I think the use case would warrent not adding known security bugs 16:20:16 dgilmore: not sure I completely understand, could you elaborate/rephrase? 16:20:48 Rathann: well like in the python 26 case, its so you can develope for rhel5 16:21:04 Rathann: which means that we should follow the rhel5 python2.6 builds 16:21:12 you mean rhel6, rhel5 had python-2.4 16:21:15 and should not have known CVE's 16:21:22 Rathann: right 16:21:35 and python26 parallel installable, actually (from EPEL) 16:21:39 too many rhels of ancientness 16:21:43 :D 16:21:52 I was bitten by that one at work recently 16:22:26 when some ignorant person pointed /usr/bin/python link to /usr/bin/python26 16:22:29 Rathann: so if it is valuable enough to pull in, there should be a reason it is patched for security bugs 16:22:39 Rathann: fun 16:23:00 yep and then they asked if I had a python-2.6-compatible yum for rhel5 16:23:10 anyway 16:23:15 I agree with your points 16:23:35 let's close the meeting and continue the discussion on list 16:23:39 good idea 16:23:54 and invite the python people here for next week's meeting 16:23:58 #action Rathann to start a devel list discussion about old python compatibility versions in Fedora 16:24:23 kalev: I'd rather start a discussion about including EOL and vulnerable software in general 16:24:29 right, sure 16:24:32 ;) 16:25:09 ok, that was it for today! thanks everybody for coming 16:25:18 #endmeeting
