I disagree. Abrt works with any package that has been properly signed and the appropriate pub key registered in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg; it is not limited to use with just upstream packages. As a third-party integrator, I’ve found it to be an extremely useful tool. While the recent security snafu is indeed unfortunate, it hardly renders the system obsolete. The abrt maintainers patch it and move on, as with any other discovered vulnerability. Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
