---------------
python-eventlet (0.18.4-1ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * d/p/set-defaults-to-be-tlsv1-not-sslv23.patch: Dropped.
    This patches was setting TLSv1 protocol as only allowed and don't
    allowed TLS 1.1 + 1.2. Eventlet wrapper should not change SSL settings,
    users should use ssl.create_default_context for better/safe defaults
    (LP: #1904988).

Title:
  [SRU] set defaults to be sslv23 not tlsv1

Status in python-eventlet package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python-eventlet source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * python-eventlet=0.18.4-1ubuntu1 (xenial) is applying the d/p/set-
  defaults-to-be-tlsv1-not-sslv23.patch to set defaults to be tlsv1 not
  sslv23

  * This will prevent xenial users from using tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2, so we
  should set defaults to be sslv23 not tlsv1 to allow xenial users enjoy
  the benefit of tlsv1_2 as well.

  * set-defaults-to-be-tlsv1-not-sslv23.patch was already dropped by
  python-eventlet 0.19.0-2 [1] in Ubuntu Yakkety.

  [Test Case]

  * Install an SSL based Spice OpenStack test env, and apply this
  python-eventlet patch as well onto the nova-cloud-controller units.

  * Run the "nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 6082 <spice-ip>" test and
  confirm whether it shows tlsv1_2

  [Regression Potential]

  xenial uses openssl=1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.17, so according to page [2] after
  openssl 1.0.0 an SSLv23 client would not attempt SSLv2 connections so
  it just brings tlsv1_0, tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2, it's more convenient and
  safer than just having tlsv1_0. and the upstream is also using sslv23
  as well [3], and python-eventlet=0.19.0-2 started to the same thing as
  well.

  So no regression is expected.

  [Discussion]
  The first package upload was missing the bug reference so a second package was uploaded. The first can be rejected.
