= System Wide Change: Kerberos in Python modernization = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/kerberos-in-python-modernization Change owner(s): * Robbie Harwood <rharwood at fp dot o> Replace usage of python-krbV and pykerberos with python-gssapi in all Fedora packages to enable their removal from Fedora. rharwood will author all necessary code changes; no new code from maintainers is required. == Detailed Description == Replace older, clunkier, less user-friendly python interfaces to Kerberos with python-gssapi. python-gssapi uses the GSSAPI interface, which is widely standardized, implemented by both MIT and Heimdal Kerberos, and much more user-friendly. As part of this effort, python-requests-gssapi will be introduced to fedora to enable transition off of python-requests-kerberos (which requires pykerberos). Its package review (completed as of 2018-01-03) was rhbz#1527682 Please note that I will be providing all patches necessary to all affected components; no work is expected from other maintainers, other than normal review and backport handling. == Scope == * Proposal owners: rharwood (responsible for providing patches and new package) * Other developers: maintainers of affected packages are expected to perform code review * Release engineering: #7219: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7219 * List of deliverables: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
