Please merge ldapscripts 2.0.8-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

The build can be seen at https://launchpad.net/~sudipmuk/+archive/ubuntu/ldapscripts/

MR to git is at https://code.launchpad.net/~sudipmuk/ubuntu/+source/ldapscripts/+git/ldapscripts/+merge/458569

debdiff from Debian 2.0.8-2 is attached. I can upload the debdiff between ldapscripts_2.0.8-1ubuntu2 and this version if necessary.

Hello and thanks for working at this merge. By looking at the history of the package what I see is that:

1. At some point Ubuntu delta was introduced to replace a reference to /etc/libnss-ldap.conf with /etc/ldap.conf. The reason for this is unclear to me (no bug references in d/changelog). Example diff:

https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldapscripts/commit/?id=ab326cc6a8e9edfb8dba5c7ea5e219ade59be612

2. In the Debian revision 2.0.1-2 that reference to /etc/libnss-ldap.conf was dropped, likely as part of the changes which pertain to this d/changelog entry:

  * Depend on nslcd instead of libnss-ldap, and us it's config.
      (Closes: #610971, #681266.)

Still the Ubuntu delta was partially retained, see:

https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldapscripts/commit/?id=5a2fbdb26d849043c81a06afddd5ec858788aeb6

My impression is that this is not correct.

So I have two questions now:

1. Do we still need an Ubuntu delta here, given that 2.0.1-2 dropped the dependency on libnss-ldap? If we don't, let's just sync the package.

2. If it turns out that we still need a delta, do we agree that the current one is wrong and needs to be adapted?

Thanks!

Seems like you are right. The delta was introduced as part of #582797 and at that time the d/runtime.debian from Debian package looked like https://sources.debian.org/src/ldapscripts/1.9.0-2/debian/runtime.debian/#L26 which directly used "/etc/libnss-ldap.conf". But the current version uses "/etc/nslcd.conf" and Ubuntu also uses "/etc/nslcd.conf" for nslcd, so this should be a sync now.

Syncing, thanks!

Sync was sponsored, unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors.
