Re: [Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1068017: util-linux: please ship liblastlog2 packages

[Iker Pedrosa <ipedrosa@redhat.com>]

Hi Chris,

I have some questions regarding your proposal:

• What is the difference between liblastlog2 and libpam-lastlog2 binaries? Upstream util-linux only provides one binary (lastlog2) so this confuses me.
• Did you consider using a systemd service to upgrade from lastlog to lastlog2 data? This way when the distribution is updated to the next version you can also remove the lastlog binary and all its dependencies. In addition, you can use "--disable-lastlog" in shadow to stop building this binary.

I've put everything I know of into this wiki page:

   https://wiki.debian.org/PamLastlog2

I would invite you all to review / edit it as you see fit, and/or
start a discussion in this bug.

After we have something that we can agree on, I'd send it as a
proposed plan to debian-devel.

Please also let me know if you think it's fine as is.

Thanks!
Chris
