Vagrant 2.3
The vagrant
package has been upgraded to version 2.3.4, which provides multiple bug fixes and enhancements. Notable changes include:
-
Isolate loading incompatible libraries to support end of life (EOL) platforms
-
Detect network type when not provided
-
Add fix for Powershell 7.3.0
-
Support VirtualBox 7.0
The following package dependencies for vagrant
were also updated:
-
rubygem-net-ssh
-
rubygem-net-scp
-
rubygem-net-sftp
Due to the new rubygem-net-ssh
, the updates for the packages above are built and delivered as one unit.
A full list of changes in Vagrant 2.3.4 is available in the upstream release notes.
createrepo_c rebased to version 1.0.0
The createrepo_c
package has been upgraded to version 1.0.0, which provides multiple enhancements. Notable changes include:
-
Change the default compression method from
gz
tozstd
to provide smaller metadata that is faster to decompress. -
Stop generating metadata in SQLite database format by default. However, it is still possible to create the metadata using the
--database
option or using thesqliterepo_c
utility. -
Include just one variant of
groups.xml
file using the specified compression method and therepomd.xml
type "group".
The pam_console
module has been removed
The pam_console
module is a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for managing console-based access control. It gives users at the physical console additional capabilities when authenticating, and removes those capabilities when the user logs out.
On the other hand, pam_console
has some limitations and flaws:
-
Only one user can have additional capabilities at the same time (no multi-seat).
-
Potential security problems of device file ownership if the PAM conversation ending is not executed.
-
Currently, the module is non-functional because one of the configuration files used for defining the permissions (
50-default.perms
) is not installed in Fedora Workstation.
Due to the shortcomings mentioned above, pam_console
has been removed in this release, and the systemd-logind
service will be managing and controlling console logins and user sessions instead.
Aspell deprecation
The aspell
package provides the GNU Aspell spell checker for identification and correction of spelling errors in text.
With this update of Fedora Workstation, aspell
is deprecated due to its inactive upstream community and existence of better-supported spell checker alternatives.
Allow full removal of the tzdata
package in containers
Previously, you could not fully remove tzdata
in a container due to the package dependencies inside the container. This practice left inconsistent package remnants, and resulted in a confusion about the expected timezone information. This update fixes the problem by making the packages that use tzdata
at runtime switch from Require'ing tzdata
to Recommend'ing tzdata
. As a result, those packages will gracefully handle the instances where tzdata
has been removed, and the container environment will default to the UTC standard. Note that removing tzdata
in a container will reduce the container size.
