Description David Walser 2017-11-12 20:00:51 CET

Fedora has issued an advisory on November 11:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/LM6ZNCU2KVKOL44GHTMMKKXJ4G5GHKYZ/

There has been some debate as to whether to classify this as a security issue.  We should at least include the fix in Cauldron and Mageia 6 SVN.  Fedora added a patch to fix it in this commit:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/glusterfs.git/commit/?id=202c34e6826fd2cba34ee61fc14312126ede808f

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

glusterfs is already in task-obsoletes (for mga6 and cauldron).

The question is, why python-gluster is still present in the repo and why task-obsoletes does not remove it.

Comment 3 José Jorge 2017-11-20 11:47:47 CET

If python-gluster has no other dep, it is simply because of human error. It must be added to task-obsoletes and moved in the svn (not removed) according to this :

You are welcome to do so.

Thanks Marc.  I thought we had dropped this package, so I guess I wasn't crazy after all.  It was typed incorrectly as python-glusterfs in task-obsolete, so it was still hanging around.  glusterfs actually isn't in SVN at all.
