2026-05-09 passwordsafe for fedora

Passwordsafe from https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe.git has scripts to build source and binary rpms, but they don't follow Fedora standards. In particular, the source rpm does not contain the source, the generated .spec file does not include the steps to compile from source, and the debug rpms are suppressed.

This .spec file and the rpms built from that fix those issues. The tarball was built via these commands:

spec file
source rpm
binary rpm
debug info rpm
debug source rpm

The existing Fedora pwsafe package conflicts with this one, since they both provide /usr/bin/pwsafe. The ChangeLog file says it was last updated in 2005. The pwsafe.spec file says it was first packaged for Fedora in 2007, with only minor patches since then. It uses the version 2 format for the password database. Version 3 was defined and in production in early 2006.
