ELBA-2026-604102 - ckermit Bug Fix update

Type:	BUG
Impact:	NA
Release Date:	2026-10-01

Description

[11.0.509-2]
- Conditionalize tests - skip on EL8 and EL9 due to missing pyftpdlib.
Run tests by default.
- Include new docs files.

[11.0.509-1]
- Update to 11.0.509
- Link with -llockdev (upstream linux target passes -DHAVE_LOCKDEV instead)
- Keep optflags/ldflags so debuginfo is generated

[11.0.505-1]
- Update to 11.0.505
- Upstream noticed the discussion in README.fedora and clarified the error
message. Discussion in README.fedora updated.
- Drop -D'krb5_init_ets(__ctx)=' from KFLAGS and the
The makefile rules in use here never define
CK_KERBEROS, so krb5_init_ets() was never compiled in to begin with;
the macro override has done nothing since we moved off the
old Kerberos-enabled Red Hat build target from around 2005 (see the
8.0.211 changelog entry below: 'remove now-unnecessary use of
krb5_init_ets()').
- Drop ckermit-9.0.302-fix_build_with_glibc_2_28_and_earlier.patch.
Upstream modernization already addressed this.
- Drop ckermit-9.0.302-printw.patch; upstream independently replaced
the one remaining unsafe printw() call with fputs()
- Drop ckermit-9.0.302-fedora-c99.patch: all missing #includes
it added have been added upstream via generic mechanisms
- Drop -DMAINTYPE=int and -ansi from KFLAGS. -DMAINTYPE=int
is unnecessary due to typedef upstream. -ansi also is no longer
necessary due to upstream modernization.
- Add 'make check'/pytest test suite integration, gated by a new
'tests' bcond
- %files: replace %doc ckc302.txt, which no longer exists in this
release. doc/*.md in the source tree now provides various
documentation.
- URL: point at the current project home, openkermit.org, instead of
the old kermitproject.org ck90.html page, which described the 9.0
release specifically
