While I do agree it doesn’t make sense to block other stuff from being updated, I don’t think a removal request is necessary at this point. I will try to find time to look at this around Christmas — meanwhile, it’s okay to raise the severity of the bug and break its build by updating its build dependencies. -- Cheers, Andrej

by Walter Lozano 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hello everyone, I'm glad to announce that Apertis v2021.3 stable release is now available! Apertis v2021.3 is the fourth stable release of the Apertis v2021 release flow. Apertis is committed to maintaining the v2021 release stream until December 2022. For more details about the Apertis release flows and support periods, see https://www.apertis.org/designs/release-flow/ You can find the full release notes at https://www.apertis.org/release/v2021.3/releasenotes/ This release ships the security updates from Debian Buster and the latest LTS Linux kernel on the 5.10.x series. Additionally it implements the approach used in v2022 TLS stack [1] to avoid licensing issues, which required upgrade glib-networking to 2.66 in order to properly support OpenSSL backend. Images are available for download at https://images.apertis.org/release/v2021/v2021.3/ Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Use of LGPL-3 or GPL-2 dual-licensed Nettle on Apertis v2020 and v2021 images
by Emanuele Aina 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hello all, the latest source code scan highlighted that the version of Nettle used on Apertis target images for the v2020 and v2021 releases is already subject to the relicensing to LGPL-3 or GPL-2 and it is no longer LGPL- 2.1 licensed as the metadata from the original Debian package sources indicated. This means that any program using libnettle, and by extension libraries like libgnutls, glib-networking and libsoup, has to be licensed under the terms of the GPL-2 or the terms of the LGPL-3 license should be applied to libnettle. This goes against the Apertis licensing expectations[1] therefore we are now working on a fix. The v2022 release channel is not affected thanks to the rework of the TLS stack usage[2] done in that channel. The recent documentation work helped raising the awareness of the issue, identifying its impact and the possible ways to address it. We currently plan to backport the changes from v2022 to v2021, and even v2020. Usage of libnettle and its reverse dependencies like libgnutls will still be subject to the LGPL-3 or GPL-2 dual-license, but libraries like glib-networking and libsoup will be moved to the OpenSSL backend to avoid the issue. Check the document about the TLS stack licensing[2] for further details. In case of any doubt, we are available for any inquiry and clarification about the impact of the issue. Thank you!
