Version 0.9.1 has been available for months.

Component: Backports => RPM Packages
Summary: [WISH] Update fail2ban to 0.9 => Update fail2ban to 0.9.1

Comment 2 Kristoffer Grundström 2015-05-02 21:53:59 CEST
Where? rpm.pbone.net doesn't say that Mageia 4 or Cauldron have 0.9.1.

He means available upstream (he would have closed this report if we had 0.9.1

We have fail2ban-0.8.13-5.mga5.noarch.rpm in cauldron

Has any progress been made on this?  I just setup a new system and went to go use fail2ban, but our version (0.8.13) isn't compatible with systemd, since no logfiles are created (messages, auth.log, etc).  

I have an old system running Mageia 5 that does create the log files, which means fail2ban 0.8.13 works.  I just can't remember what I installed that gave me back the logfiles.

I debated putting security as a keyword, since missing fail2ban does open up a hole by allowing ssh brute force attacks in a much shorter amount of time.

We have fail2ban-0.9.5-1.mga6 in cauldron now, and this bug report was filed against cauldron.

However, I understand you are running Mageia 5, since you added "5.1" as Keyword.

Changing version to Mageia 5

@ Remmy

Do you have an idea?

CC'ing all packagers collectively, in case the maintainer is unavailable.

fail2ban is available as 0.9.5 in mga6.
the newest 0.10 version is now available with the long awaited ipv6 support:
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.10/ChangeLog

it would be great to have this update available

Doesn't it need agreement on dev ml to push it to stable?

Maybe kekepower (who pushed fail2ban-0.10.3.1 to cauldron) is willing to push it to 6/backports_testing?

as far as I've read the backport policy, only the maintainer or another packager decides if he's willing to do the backport.
