Hey, I was wondering if there's anything that could be done about the botan package we still ship in Fedora (not to be confused with botan2). As already mentioned by Jack in [0] it's been EOLed for over five years and it no longer meets today's security requirements. It looks like the only consumer of botan seems to be monotone, which indeed still requires botan 1.x, but there's a couple of patches (not only) from the NixOS folks [1] that adapt it to use the supported botan 2.x version (packaged as botan2 in Fedora). It would be great if we could make use of this in Fedora as well and eventually retire the botan package altogether.
Thanks!
