Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist I'm opening a bug to document intent to re-introduce 'libnss-mysql': https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libnss-mysql See discussion from Jing below, including links to modernized packaging. For reference, here are all Debian bugs related to the old libnss-mysql: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;dist=unstable;ordering=normal;repeatmerged=0;src=libnss-mysql https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=111910 I suppose that if we manage to update the package and make it compatible with Debian style we can do an upload of it to NEW that closes this bug.
Actually we're reintroducing libnss-mysql-bg but also renaming the package to libnss-mysql: both were removed from unstable long ago, there is no need to use the latter older libnss-mysql. Renaming it can avoid some confusion.
Archived bugs here that need to be considered before a new upload: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;src=libnss-mysql-bg
Here is the updated info of the package: Upstream: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/administration/libnss-mysql.git Vcs-Git: https://gitlab.trisquel.org/del111/libnss-mysql.git Description: NSS module for using MySQL/MariaDB as a naming servicelibnss-mysql provides a Name Service Switch module that allows MySQL/MariaDB
to act as a name service. . Its configuration is very flexible by allowing to set an SQL query per NSS call (getpwnam, getpwuid, ...). . It currently supports storage of passwd, group and shadow information. -- Jing Luo About me: https://jing.rocks/about/ GPG Fingerprint: 4E09 8D19 00AA 3F72 1899 2614 09B3 316E 13A1 1EFC
