We decided to remove the authd package in noble for the time being.
The current implementation (in particular the one in the PAM module) is
not up to our standard in terms of quality and what we are confortable
to support in the long term. Rather than releasing as is and having
risky SRUs in the future changing a large part of the implementation, we
decided against this and rather polishing the code, securing it, adding
even more tests and releasing all that as a new package SRUed to the
24.04 LTS in the coming months.
That way, we won’t risk to regress any potential users and we will use an
architecture we are more confortable supporting for the next 5/10 years of the
LTS release.
It means that when we reintroduce it, we will rerequest a new MIR too as the
PAM module will largely change and we want to ensure we follow the process and
quality standard we expect for the Ubuntu distribution.
** Changed in: authd (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Won't Fix
