Description Martin Thomson 2016-09-26 23:42:55 UTC 
Description of problem:

In golang 1.2, P224 was removed.  This prevents the use of the system golang with certain projects.  My particular problem is that it won't run boringssl tests.  I couldn't find the original rationale, but I hope that the reason is no longer valid.

Since NSS ships with secp224r1 (which isn't even in the NSS tree), I see no reason that this should be excluded.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I'm using golang-1.7.1-2.fc26


How reproducible: Perfectly.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl
2. cd boring/ssl/test/runner
3. go build

Actual results:
./key_agreement.go:349: undefined: elliptic.P224
(exit 1)

Expected results:
(exit 0)

Additional info:
I would have added a patch, but the repo doesn't even allow checkouts from unauthenticated users.  That's not very friendly to contributors.
Comment 1 Jakub Čajka 2016-09-27 08:18:40 UTC 
This is intentional due to legal reasons and there seems to be no indication that situation changed in a way that would allowed the p224 inclusion, so we can't drop the patch removing p224.

Please see BZ#1038683 for more details.

PS: I'm able to clone golang dist-git repo using "git clone git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/golang.git" from machine that is not setup for my packaging work(without auth, fresh git installation).
Comment 2 Martin Thomson 2016-09-27 22:25:52 UTC 
The only mention of legal requirements is this:
> In Fedora, we only ship certain reviewed curves.

I would have to assume that it is permitted.  I work with the NSS maintainers closely and NSS ships on rawhide with P-224 (see certutil --help); they are acutely aware of legal constraints.  I guess we'll see what the legal folks say.
