Thank you, @claudioandre-br! > let's see what people do and stop providing the 7z if no one uses it. How would we know?

I've just checked our web server logs for recent 1.9.0-jumbo-1 Win64 downloads in ZIP vs. 7z. These are at 57% for ZIP vs. 43% for 7z (percentages out of their...

I was thinking that we wouldn't have a separate text "file describing `pam_passwdqc`" - rather, the options list moved from `README` to e.g. `OPTIONS` would describe the configuration options most...

I am really not sure about attracting contributors here, but @claudioandre-br are you aware that in the fork network of this repo there is https://github.com/kc9jud/john-packages/tree/docker-scripting with some sensible changes? It's...

Also on the same AlmaLinux 8.5 as above, after `dnf install rpm-build` a `rpmbuild -tb passwdqc-2.0.2.tar.gz` (as suggested in our `INSTALL`) just works, and the package has `/lib64/security/pam_passwdqc.so` right away...

Thank you for your review. A proper "upstream forum" could be the yescrypt mailing list, but then you also bring up questions specific to libxcrypt and I don't mind addressing...

I think this is a questionable feature, primarily because portable programs must not rely on it anyway, and then there's risk of someone porting system-specific code e.g. from Fedora to...

I like the NEWS file's wording "This feature is a safety net against sloppy coding. Programs are still strongly encouraged to use the reentrant functions instead". I think the man...
