The problem with md5 on Linux is that unlike BSD there seems to be no standard system library for it (and in particular no support for it in libc). Unless you count things like nss or openssl, neither of which is really a solution for something that just needs to compute an occasional md5 hash. The situation is pretty flawed. I found a couple of other packages using the same md5.c as this package, and some other packages using an entirely different md5.c authored by Colin Plumb, and I only looked for fifteen minutes or so. It would certainly be reasonable to unbundle the md5 library, although I'm concerned that the issue is more complicated than that. Will you be the upstream for this new library? Will it support the same API as both md5.c versions? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
