The Dogtag Subversion Source Code Repository formerly consisted of a "pki/base/" directory which contained the PKI source code, and a "pki/linux/" directory which held all of the Dogtag-branding UI and PKI component build scripts. For reasons which were beyond our control when Dogtag was first released, suffice it to say that the benign name of "linux" was given to this branding directory. By fixing Bugzilla Bug#445402, this problem has been rectified, as the following changes were made to the Dogtag Subversion Source Code Repository:

  • Subversion properties were applied to ALL shared files in the "config/" and "config-ext/" files (since this allows developers the ability to change one file and have those changes propogated to all other directories sharing this file).
  • The directory called "pki/linux/" was renamed to "pki/dogtag/".
  • All build scripts were renamed from "build_linux" to "build_dogtag".
  • All UI packages were renamed from from "pki-<component>-ui" to "dogtag-pki-<component>-ui" which provides "pki-<component>-ui"; this does not alter any existing dependencies since upper-level components will still require "pki-<component>-ui". This affected the following eight packages:
    • pki-ca-ui --> dogtag-pki-ca-ui,
    • pki-common-ui --> dogtag-pki-common-ui,
    • pki-console-ui --> dogtag-pki-console-ui,
    • pki-kra-ui --> dogtag-pki-kra-ui,
    • pki-ocsp-ui --> dogtag-pki-ocsp-ui,
    • pki-ra-ui --> dogtag-pki-ra-ui,
    • pki-tks-ui --> dogtag-pki-tks-ui, and
    • pki-tps-ui --> dogtag-pki-tps-ui.
  • The pki.fedoraproject.org Wiki and top-level pki/README file were updated to reflect these changes.

It has recently been brought to the attention of the Dogtag developers that numerous users in the Dogtag community have encountered problems successfully running the TPS subsystem. On Fedora 8, we believe that we have isolated this issue as being related to normal Fedora 8 updates of the following two packages:

   NSS 3.11 --> NSS 3.12
   MOD_NSS 1.0.7-2 --> MOD_NSS 1.0.7-3 or later

Dogtag developers are currently working on a permanent fix for this issue. However, until such time, users wishing to run a TPS subsystem are urged to use the original Fedora 8 GOLD bits available via http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora.

After this fresh install it is important not to apply any updates that affect either the nss or mod_nss packages.

As we believe a very similar problem exists on Fedora 9, we would urge users wishing to run a TPS subsystem install this component on the aforementioned Fedora 8 platform.
