mostly as reminder to self... will take care of this tomorrow [23:06:11] <robbat2> dilfridge: here's a question for that [23:06:20] <robbat2> the glibc sources have TWO diferent nsswitch.conf files [23:06:36] <dilfridge> uh, right [23:06:40] <robbat2> WORKDIR/work/extra/etc/nsswitch.conf [23:06:40] <robbat2> WORKDIR/work/glibc-2.27/nss/nsswitch.conf [23:06:42] <dilfridge> there was something [23:06:50] <dilfridge> extra is from us [23:06:54] <robbat2> i see the ebuild installs one, then overrides the other [23:07:06] <robbat2> doins nscd/nscd.conf posix/gai.conf nss/nsswitch.conf [23:07:06] <robbat2> doins "${WORKDIR}"/extra/etc/*.conf [23:07:54] <robbat2> the glibc-2.27/nss/nsswitch.conf contains a bunch of databases that the extra one doesn't [23:08:22] <robbat2> initgroups, gshadow [23:08:31] <dilfridge> didnt notice that yet, good catch [23:08:43] <dilfridge> probably we should do away with our own version, or only patch [23:09:15] <dilfridge> I'll file a reminder bug with this conversation and look at it tomorrow [23:09:50] <robbat2> other entries that need review: bootparams, netmasks, publickey (manpage-only) [23:10:04] <dilfridge> yeah
OK so the upstream config files haven't changed from 2.25 to 2.27. This means we're already using "old" files on stable now. Since noone has complained so far, the impact is probably limited. Still needs review, but I'm not going to have this block 2.26 stabilization or 2.27 keywording.
We're dropping our Gentoo-edited nsswitch.conf and nscd.conf in 2.28 and go with the (sane) upstream default there.
