[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1068017: util-linux: please ship liblastlog2 packages

[Iker Pedrosa]

Hi Chris,

I have some questions regarding your proposal:

   - What is the difference between liblastlog2 and libpam-lastlog2
   binaries? Upstream util-linux only provides one binary (lastlog2) so this
   confuses me.
   - Did you consider using a systemd service to upgrade from lastlog to
   lastlog2 data? This way when the distribution is updated to the next
   version you can also remove the lastlog binary and all its dependencies. In
   addition, you can use "--disable-lastlog" in shadow to stop building this
   binary.
