"Interestingly, rhel6 and Debian still have sssd 1.2." This is not true about RHEL 6 (exactly). RHEL 6.0 shipped with SSSD 1.2, but RHEL 6.1 and 6.2 shipped with SSSD 1.5. Our expectation is for RHEL 6.3 to update to SSSD 1.8.0 (the upcoming upstream LTM release). Each Fedora release sees the latest upstream SSSD release (we are now timing the minor version releases to be every three months, so Fedora releases will get every even-numbered minor version).
You are correct that SSSD uses libdbus, but for internal communication only (between the responders and data providers, and between the "watchdog" process and all the SSSD children). We use check (http://check.sourceforge.net/) for the vast majority of our unit tests. In upstream, Fedora and RHEL we require all of these tests to pass as a condition of inclusion. It would be nice if Ubuntu could include 'check' in its build-system, even if not included in the released distribution. But as you noted above, the build as a whole does not rely on the test suite being fully-functional. As for upstream being responsive, I hope this qualified :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903752 Title: [MIR] sssd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ding-libs/+bug/903752/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
