Summary

Python API used around Fedora Infrastructure to send and receive messages with

zeromq. Includes some CLI tools.

Update Information:

Fix validation logic in the base consumer The base consumer is intended to only derive its validation switch from the on-disk configuration if the child class doesn't override the validate_signatures switch. There was a bug here where the default value provided in the base class made it appear as if *all* child consumers had turned *off* validation, which is incorrect. This fix turns on signature validation by default while preserving the ability of child consumersto override the on-disk configuration in special cases. - Fixes: CVE-2017-1000001 - Reviewed-by: Patrick Uiterwijk
