Hello everyone,
since there has been some discussion in the last time about removing
libcrypt from glibc in some time [1,2,3,4] and splitting it out into
a
separate project which can evolve quicker, I'd like to hear your
oppinion about replacing glibc's libcrypt with libxcrypt [5] for
Fedora
29 (or 30).
A bit late, but thank you for driving that effort! It was time to move
to a better crypt lib.
Anyways, before this can happen, there is still some work to be done
with libxcrypt, like adding a FIPS mode or FIPS compliance in a
different way.
I agree with Florian's comment on that.
