https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveAuthselectCompatPackage
== Summary == Authselect replaced authconfig tool in Fedora 28. To enable some level of backwards compatibility, it ships the authconfig command as a wrapper around authselect calls in package "authselect-compat". Authselect is now well adopted and the shim compatibility layer should be removed by removing the authselect-compat package. == Owner == * Name: [[User:pbrezina| Pavel Březina]] * Email: <pbrez...@redhat.com> == Detailed Description == Affected components: * authselect: remove the authselect-compat package * pykickstart: remove support for authconfig * anaconda: remove support for authconfig "dnf repoquery --whatrequires" does not yield any package depending on authselect-compat nor authconfig. == Benefit to Fedora == The authconfig command will no longer be available, this will finish the replacement by authselect. == Scope == * Proposal owners: authselect maintainers - Submit PR for anaconda/pykickstart to remove authconfig support and remove authselect-compat package from Fedora. * Other developers: anaconda/pykickstart maintainers - must accept the PR and push it to Fedora * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10169 #10169] * Policies and guidelines: The policies and guidelines do not need to be updated. * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The authselect-compat package will be removed, authconfig command will no longer be available. == How To Test == * authselect-compat package and authconfig command should no longer be available * anaconda/kickstart should no longer support authconfig directive == User Experience == Users that keeps using authconfig/authselect-compat will need to start using authselect directly. == Dependencies == No package depends on authconfig/authselect-compat. Authconfig is used by Anaconda/pykickstart and this support will be removed. == Contingency Plan == authselect-compat package stays. * Contingency mechanism: authselect-compat package stays. * Contingency deadline: Beta * Blocks release? No == Documentation == This is a simple packaging change, there is no additional documentation. == Release Notes == Authselect-compat package is removed, therefore authconfig command is no longer available. Users are encouraged to use its replacement, the authselect command. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
