Discussion Thread: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/182444

**This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.**
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

== Summary ==

This change brings xmlsec 1.3.x into Fedora. Version 1.3 is not backward compatible with 1.2.

== Owner ==

* Name: [[User:thalman| Tomas Halman]]
* Email: thalman@redhat.com

== Detailed Description ==

Update of xmlsec to 1.3.9 brings new and actively developed version into the Fedora. This version changes some interfaces and it is not backward compatible.

This change requires rebuild  and/or update of depending packages:
* aqbanking
* lasso
* libdigidocpp
* libpskc
* libreoffice
* mod_auth_mellon
* nordugrid-arc
* open-vm-tools
* openscap

== Feedback ==



== Benefit to Fedora ==

Version 1.3 is actively developed and receives new features like new cyphers. Old version is just maintained.

== Scope ==

* Proposal owners:
* Other developers:
* Release engineering: [https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues #Releng issue number]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==

No manual configuration changes are needed or expected.

== Early Testing (Optional) ==

Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? No

== How To Test ==

* No special hardware needed
* Packages will be tested by their owners
* We will use a copr repository for building and testing depended packages
* All applications work the same as before change.

== User Experience ==

Users should obtain new cypher suites, but this is not typically noticed by users. But application may move defaults to more modern and safe ciphers.

== Dependencies ==

Here is list of packages depending on xmlsec1
* aqbanking
* lasso
* libdigidocpp
* libpskc
* libreoffice-core
* mod_auth_mellon
* nordugrid-arc
* open-vm-tools
* openscap

== Contingency Plan ==

* Contingency mechanism: If we found a blocker in depended component, we will create new package (xmlsec12) with the 1.2 version and component not possible to update will compile against old version for now. That might be a bit more work and we might postpone the change for next version of Fedora.
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change), Yes/No
