[Pkg-netatalk-devel] Bug#982633: Support separate libtirpc

[Iain Lane]

Package: src:netatalk
Version: 3.1.12~ds-8
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Hiya,

I noticed on Ubuntu that the autopkgtest is failing[0]:

  #   Failed test 'Quota support'

I think it's because:

  #          Quota support:	No

quota support is disabled. After a lot of digging around I found it's
because the Sun RPC support is gone there[1].

I'd *guess* that once 2.32 comes to Debian we'll start seeing the same
issues here.

I've got a patch to start building against the replacement external
libtirpc. It works in as far as building, keeping the quota support
enabled, and the tests finishing successfully.

Once I get a bug number back I'll attach the patch. Upstream doesn't
seem that alive, and I don't have a SF account, so I've not forwarded -
if you could help me do that that would be super useful.

Cheers,
