Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 38 has released security patches for Gitit, targeting vulnerabilities CVE-2023-35936 and CVE-2023-38745.
Security fix for CVE-2023-35936 and CVE-2023-38745 pandoc: backport fixes for CVE-2023-35936 and CVE-2023-38745 base64 now packaged in Fedora

Summary

Gitit is a wiki backed by a git, darcs, or mercurial filestore. Pages and

uploaded files can be modified either directly via the VCS's command-line tools

or through the wiki's web interface. Pandoc is used for markup processing, so

pages may be written in (extended) markdown, reStructuredText, LaTeX, HTML, or

literate Haskell.

Notable features include

* plugins: dynamically loaded page transformations written in Haskell (see

"Network.Gitit.Interface")

* conversion of TeX math to MathML for display in web browsers

* syntax highlighting of source code files and code snippets

* Atom feeds (site-wide and per-page)

* a library, "Network.Gitit", that makes it simple to include a gitit wiki in

any happstack application

You can see a running demo at .

For usage information: 'gitit --help'.
