autoconf-archive suddenly gone in EPEL 7
by Benjamin Kircher
Hi,
please correct me if I am wrong or if this isn't the right list.
One of my packages needs autoconf-archive.noarch for building on CentOS 7
but the build fails because autoconf-archive is not available in EPEL 7
anymore.
yum search autoconf-archive
reveals nothing. Have I missed something?

removable setup rpm?!
by Petr Stodulka
Hi folks,
I found now that the setup rpm is removable from the system,
which leads to unusable system, because of missing important files,
like /etc/shadow, ....
Could you anyone say why that? I heard something about dependency hell, so
in that case, the packages should be at least protected like dnf, systemd, etc.
One possible way would be the config file for dnf in downstream, like
echo setup > /etc/yum/protected.d/setup.conf
Any better idea before I create bugzilla?

Removal of code signing trust bits from ca-certificates
by Kai Engert
Until recently, Mozilla maintained three individual trust bits for each root CA
certificate:
- trust for TLS servers
- trust for email security
- trust for code signing
The next CA update from Mozilla will switch the code signing trust bit
OFF for all CAs.
Mozilla will no longer maintain this trust bit.
See
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.security.policy/004uv...
for background.
I'm not aware of anyone using this trust bit. The removal might have no effect.
This update of the CA list is supposed to get published with Firefox 56 on
September 26.
In order to allow the Fedora community to test potential effects of this change,
I intend to publish an update to the ca-certificates packages early, and keep it
in updates-testing for a few weeks.
Tracking bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472468
Thanks
