Hello everyone,
since there has been some discussion in the last time about removing libcrypt from glibc in some time [1,2,3,4] and splitting it out into a separate project which can evolve quicker, I'd like to hear your oppinion about replacing glibc's libcrypt with libxcrypt [5] for Fedora 29 (or 30).
A bit late, but thank you for driving that effort! It was time to move to a better crypt lib.
Anyways, before this can happen, there is still some work to be done with libxcrypt, like adding a FIPS mode or FIPS compliance in a different way.
I agree with Florian's comment on that.
