The user-namespace utility landed in 4.3.0 [1], and it would be nice to have ;).

Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2016-04-18 19:22:46 UTC 
they had posted an 4.3.0 tarball before for testing that was broken, but they didn't post a follow up message to indicate they fixed things.  i'll take a look.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2016-04-18 22:00:45 UTC 
yeah, that's a tag in the github repo, but it hasn't shown up in debian's repo, and there isn't an actual release tarball either:
  http://pkg-shadow.alioth.debian.org/releases/

i'm not keep on using tags out of github since they lack generated autotools.  here's the release thread:
  https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2016-March/010918.html

so i'm just going to keep deferring to upstream sorts things out.

Sounds good, and thanks for the pointers into the upstream issues.
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2016-12-05 21:06:15 UTC 
i've gotten them to start adding proper release tarballs in GH.  the first one is shadow-4.4.  will look into this, or get some fixes for 4.4.1.
