Comment (by bdubbs@…):
I'm not sure if we should update to this package or not. The only place i
can find it is Debian experimental. Sid is still using 4.1.5.1. Arch and
Gentoo are also still at 4.1.5.1.
Fedora still seems to be at 4.1.4.2.
The home page of the package, pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org, knows nothing
about this version and appears to not to have been updated since 2011.
There does seem to be activity at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-
shadow/shadow.git;a=summary, but the newest tarball has all the man pages
deleted. I can regenerate them but it requires docbook so for LFS we
would need to create out own tarball for that. As well as correcting the
Makefile which seems to insist on trying to generate .po files. It also
wants the python script xml2po.
A configure file has to be created with 'autoreconf -v -f --install'. The
autogen.sh script does that, but also runs configure with options we don't
want.
The NEWS file says: "shadow-4.1.5.1 -> shadow-4.2 UNRELEASED"
