Hi Curtis, Fedora project weren't able to build GParted 0.19.1 on EPEL 5 on their build system and instead declared GParted retired on EPEL 5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1133315#c21 It is therefore vulnerable to CVE-2014-7208 "Unsafe OS command execution in GParted <= 0.14.1". I don't really want to get into the distribution game but I do want to make GParted available for RedHat/CentOS 5. (We still use lots of such machines at work!) If there is another way let me know. If I build the latest GParted package for EPEL 5 will you host it on the GParted Download page? Thanks, Mike |

If that is the case, then trying to build it yourself is just going to run into the same missing dependencies problem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUyO5gAAoJENRVrw2cjl5Rdq0H/RS+SSZm+9VSnf9fuNlZ2nlx cV8y0WhXSeUzoM8a8XSWrzoVmpEM86iye++9rFSkFaQZbQNsSPNj1SAoCGhBeWNU pYeQ0k7DWLm8dUk6G+1pTMGvc1VyOqGBzepsO/qWXKxPkd2G/pgaMj7qE5HIFvaQ N8HpJ4yMR1V+BEjBLRhOrTXWcrxKmDmVmhFuqEfDistQDbR5h10ALogd7Nyt5sJe sBPdGquCocI9FsTVNr6pXH0OVTvIpQy2FyX7Wx7ZKpgaBNBQpfnzSOnMBeu6wzne xQS119sORfVoBgIPlgbXy4M3FcxiHxrZLyvj8kc2cTGMZBGHJvJcaqZnKDal8Cc= =K5Wq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Hi Mike, We certainly can host a RedHat/CentOS 5 package for GParted on SourceForge. If you wish we can work to ensure you have correct access rights to post the package directly on SF. Regards, Curtis |

Hi Curtis, EPEL introduced a policy of retiring orphaned packages from the repository [1], so they let gtkmm24-2.10 package be deleted from EPEL 5 [2] even though the RHEL/CentOS 5 desktop is based on Gtk+ 2.10. This will be why gparted 0.19.1 couldn't be compiled as part of EPEL 5. There are a few third party repositories which do contain gtkmm24 for RHEL/CentOS 5 [3]. It is unlikely that I will now bother building and distributing gparted for CentOS 5.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the heads up. I'm not a fan of going to exorbitant lengths to support older distros, so I can understand your decision to drop package support for RHEL/CentOS 5. Also, anyone needing to use an up-to-date version of GParted need only boot the latest GParted Live. :-) Curtis |
