Fedora Project

  • Updated python-crypto to 2.2 in Rawhide and prepared an update for F-14:

    • Deprecated Crypto.Util.number.getRandomNumber(); it's been replaced by getRandomNBitInteger and getRandomInteger

    • Better isPrime() and getPrime() implementations

    • getStrongPrime() implementation for generating RSA primes

    • Support for importing and exporting RSA keys in DER and PEM format
    • Fix PyCrypto when floor division (python -Qnew) is enabled

    • When building using gcc, use -std=c99 for compilation

  • Submitted a Review Request for my perl-PPIx-Utilities package, which will be needed to upgrade perl-Perl-Critic to 1.08; it was promptly reviewed by IainArnell and I was able to get it branched and built for Rawhide all in one day! The Fedora 14 build will have to wait until the perl-PPI 1.213 update is pushed to stable

Local Packages

  • Updated python-crypto to 2.2 as per Fedora
