To facilitate packages that require a newer version of libsodium, I have coordinated an update of libsodium in EPEL7 from version 1.0.5 (libsodium.so.13) to version 1.0.16 (libsodium.so.23). To avoid any ABI breakage for existing packages, a new libsodium13 compatibility package has been created that will continue to provide the old version.
The following packages link against libsodium:
- cjdns
- dnscrypt-proxy
- dnsdist
- fastd
- php-pecl-libsodium
- zeromq
Remi has already rebuilt php-pecl-libsodium against the new version with an override. In my testing, the other packages continue to be installable and just resolve to libsodium13 instead of libsodium, as expected.
I have read through the update policies [1][2], but I am unsure where this would fall since the old version will continue to be available with the compatibility package. Do I need to take any additional steps other than submitting the bodhi update for libsodium-1.0.16-1.el7 and libsodium13-1.0.5-1.el7?
My understanding is that this should be sufficient.
