Bug#849773: O: libnss-extrausers
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm hereby orphaning libnss-extrausers, after neglecting it a bit for
too long. There is some open bug report with patches that do not apply,
and the whole thing got a bit out of date as nss is a moving target
(and the nss modules it was forked of are now very different).
So if you take it be ready for a large chunk of upstream work.
Packaging nss modules is also something of an unsolved problem with
multi-arch. (You can multi-arch them, but then people have to make sure
to install all the right architectures or get strange errors if they
forget), so that is no easy thing either.
Might perhaps best to just drop it and use the db backend instead (those
are not in another directory, but at least can keep them outside the
main files).
You can find the package in git at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/libnss-extrausers.git/log/?h=debian
(including the last upload orphaning it).
