Yeah, it's an libnfsidmap plugin that applies regular expressions to NFSv4 usernames and group names that come over the wire in the form user@DOMAIN and group@DOMAIN. What if I keep bin:libnfsidmap-regex, built from the new src:nfs-utils, in universe? With a remark in d/control that it should not be promoted to main without a specific new MIR? -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
