Replace M2Crypto
Please replace M2Crypto. It is now in maintainance mode and the project officially recommends cryptography.
This is going to be an issue for the Fedora package as well, as m2crypto it has been orphaned, and will be dropped for a future release (probably F42). That will cause hash-slinger to fail to build, and hence will not be available.
PR's are welcome. I personally do not have the resources to work on this.
Same for me. I'd only go for that change when SUSE drops m2crpyto, so that may be some time. I'd help with an PR in case of problems, but currently won't spent the time to do that change myself.
Just as a note for rawhide (F42) now lists hash-slinger as fail to build.
Any updates on this, otherwise for Fedora I'm going to knock out tlsa as I think it is the only function using m2crypto.
Arguably, yes, although currently it won't install on a number of OS and no one looks to be willing to fix the issue.
Unfortunately, I'm a packager not really a programmer so don't really know what to do for a fix.
What about a patch which will issue a warning like "tlsa needs to change m2crypto to crypthography" when the tool is called?

Haa, that was almost exactly what I was planning to add, although it doesn't really help it get fixed. At least it with some right packaging efforts, it will at least allow it to install.
