Dear all,
 I have retired the sectool package in rawhide. It will still be available in Fedora 24 because the f24 branch is past the final freeze and packages cannot be retired there.

Retiring of this package is long overdue. The sectool project is no longer developed nor maintained upstream. As a replacement, you can try the OpenSCAP project [1,2] and its sectool SCL content (openscap-content-sectool package).

R.I.P. sectool

In IRC channel,  yesterday myself, fenrus02 and Sparks were chatting about some of the tools in the wiki and how some are  becoming or have been ancient.  With this  retirement on sectool in Rawhide I think we should at the very least  make mention of the pending deprecation and start phasing in OpenSCAP into both our personal uses and the apprentice training regime.


On a semi related tangent:
Can all ACTIVE members of  fas group security-team please review [1]  and either update their info OR request addition to the roster, I of course would like to be added to that roster.

Also may I suggest a monthly email much like what Kevin (nirik) does with Infra team for basic info and metrics on active members to (like [2] ) keep the group fresh and active?
