Messinet Secure Services

Kernel module packages in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository are signed for UEFI Secure Boot systems with our updated X.509 kernel module signing key.

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 35 to Fedora 36 and we’re no longer building Fedora 35 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

Fresh installations were performed on most of our servers and we used the DNF system-upgrade plugin on a number of others, which simplified the upgrade process across multiple machines.

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 34 to Fedora 35 and we’re no longer building Fedora 34 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

Once again, the upgrades completed successfully using the DNF system-upgrade plugin. We wish to thank the developers for this option, as it continues to streamline and speed up the upgrade process across multiple machines.

We’re also happy to report that the Fedora 35 KDE/Plasma on Wayland experience is significantly improved and stable enough to serve as our primary desktop platform. Though there are still some Plasma/Wayland usability issues, we look forward to futher improvement, especially with drag-and-drop between Qt and GTK applications.

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34 and we’re no longer building Fedora 33 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

After a long successful run using Digium hardware with Zaptel/DAHDI tools and Linux kernel modules providing direct analog PSTN connectivity, Messinet Secure Services now fully employs Kamailio, RTPengine, and Asterisk in an entirely VoIP based telephony infrastructure.

Unfortunately, upstream DAHDI-Linux development has changed direction, removing support for long-stable analog telephony cards, and limited development is not keeping pace with current Linux kernels.

Messinet Secure Services will no longer maintain or build RPMs for DAHDI tools or related Linux kernel modules in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository or the Copr Fedora community build service.

Messinet Secure Services has upgraded from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 with the notable exception of our FreeIPA hosts which will remain on Fedora 29 until FreeIPA 4.8 is released.

With this upgrade complete, we’re no longer building Fedora 29 RPMs in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository. Please check out our builds in the Copr Fedora community build service.

The updated X.509 kernel module signing key for UEFI Secure Boot systems is available. Kernel module packages built in our Fedora Linux RPM Repository on or after 2018-11-11 will be signed with the new key.
