Package: nss-mdns
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
I have uploaded a 0.9-0.2 NMU to switch the prefix to / and install the
libraries into /lib instead of /usr/lib. This is important both for
chrooted daemons such as Postfix which are copying /lib/libnss* to the
chroot and for mdns resolver support during the boot process (where
/usr isn't available) e.g. to mount /usr from a NFS share resolved over
mdns.
I've uploaded the NMU to DELAYED/2: please ping me if you want me to
cancel this upload or simply upload a fixed package.
Bye,
PS: not closing the RC bug and not waiting for the BTS acks / timeouts
due to bugs.d.o being down
