I probably don't have much in the way of objection. However, the only SRU for sssd that's ever made it as far as -proposed was for bug 585885, which failed the SRU process due to a lack of testers. Do you have plans for marshalling efforts to verify SRUs under an MRE such as this? -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~freeipa Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~freeipa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
