Re: [Pkg-shadow-devel] Help wanted: test new shadow source package (login, passwd, uidmap, etc.)
Quoting Serge Hallyn (serge.hal...@ubuntu.com): Quoting Christian PERRIER (bubu...@debian.org): Quoting Christian PERRIER (bubu...@debian.org): Hello fellow developers, I would like to request your help in testing the new version of the shadow package (that provides login, passwd and such other important or base packages). I haven't got much feedbackwhich is indeed what I was more or less expecting. ;-) So, well, let's jump into the mud (I love to do that when running.not sure I love to do that in my FLOSS activities) and I'll soon upload shadow to unstable Be prepared. Hi, so first glitch I found is that /etc/subuid was not created for me. login.postinst only creates that on new installs. In Ubuntu it does so anytime it does not exist - I assume you made that change on purpose? usermod -v refuses to run if the file does not exist, so users will need to be told to create those files themselves. What makes you think this? In login.postinst, we have: # Create subuid/subgid if missing if [ ! -e /etc/subuid ]; then touch /etc/subuid chown root:root /etc/subuid chmod 644 /etc/subuid fi (strangely indented, admitedlybut unless I'm missing something obvious, it is unconditionnally run) That code probably somes unchanged from the patches that have been proposed, indeed. And, well, on my system, /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid were indeed created when I manually installed the new login package. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The indenting threw me off. And the reason they weren't created was that I was blindly expecting the uidmap package to depend on both passwd and login = 1:4.2-1, so while i had upgraded passwd to experimental's version i hadn't upgraded login's. Sorry, my bad. So all seemed to be working fine! obvious, it is unconditionnally run) That code probably somes unchanged from the patches that have been proposed, indeed.

The right answer is probably to create the file on new installs and on upgrades from versions earlier than the first version introducing this. Yeah I was thinking that last night - i guess this is pretty easy to do, and some people will not want to have those files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
