This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Drop pam_ssh_agent_auth component from Fedora 42 == Owner == * Name: [[User:Dbelyavs| Dmitry Belyavskiy]] * Email: dbelyavs@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == pam_ssh_agent_auth is a subpackage of openssh developed separately. Last years its development has effectively stopped and we are not aware of it being used actively. The goal of this proposal is to drop this package (as it will be done in RHEL10) to reduce the maintenance burden. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == * Removing a package of limited use and maintenance * Reducing the maintenance burden == Scope == * Proposal owners: remove the corresponding files from OpenSSH package * Other developers: * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue number] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The users can still use this package from previous distributions if they really need it. == Early Testing (Optional) == Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N == How To Test == == User Experience == I expect the user experience effects to be minor because of quite limited usage of this package == Dependencies == None == Contingency Plan == There are 2 relevant options: * Return the previous state of the package * build a more modern alternative, pam_rssh, https://github.com/z4yx/pam_rssh, for Fedora * Blocks release? No == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == We drop pam_ssh_agent_auth module -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
