|
| |
|
| ====[[Changes/AArch64 Server Promotion | AArch64 Server Promotion]]====
| |
| Promote Aarch64 server technologies to Primary Architecture status. This would include the Server installer, the DVD installer ISOs, the Cloud (qcow2 images) and Docker base images to the same status as other primary Server architectures. This would NOT currently include other components such as Workstation images/installs, any of the various spins, or Fedora Atomic components.
| |
|
| |
| ====[[Changes/AnacondaModularization | Anaconda modularization]]====
| |
| Anaconda installer will be split into several modules that will communicate over DBus using stable API.
| |
|
| |
| ====[[Changes/Annobin | Annotated Binaries]]====
| |
| This change causes extra information to be stored in binary files
| |
| compiled by gcc. This information can be used by scripts to check on
| |
| various features of the file, such as the hardening options used or
| |
| potential ABI conflicts.
| |
|
| |
| ====[[Changes/AuthselectAsDefault | Make authselect default tool instead of authconfig]]====
| |
| Replace authconfig with authselect and make authselect a default tool to configure PAM and nsswitch.conf. A compatibility tool will help with transition period from authconfig to authselect.

| |
| ====[[Changes/Deprecate TCP wrappers | Deprecate TCP wrappers]]====
| |
| TCP wrappers is a simple tool to block incoming connection on application level. This was very useful 20 years ago, when there were no firewalls in Linux. This is not the case for today and connection filtering should be done in network level or completely in application scope if it makes sense. After recent discussions I believe it is time to go for this package, if not completely, than at least as a dependency of modern daemons in system by default.
| |
|
| |
