The site that we use for shadow has been down for some time. The package is available at http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/shadow/as shadow_4.1.5.1.orig.tar.gz (thanks Armin). We use a .bz2 version, but the contents of the tarballs are the same.
I did find https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-shadow/, but clicking on the Home Page link gives 'Forbidden'. I also noticed several patches that Debian makes to shadow (shadow_4.1.5.1-1.diff.gz). The questions are: 1. Should we change the book to point at the currently available address or wait a while to see if the alioth site comes up? Note 1: If we change the package name, it may break jhalfs without removing the .orig that Debian uses. Note 2: We could just point to anduin for the package. 2. Debian has a set of patches. Should we inverstigate using them? AFAIK, the current package is working well. I hesitate to 'fix' something that works. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
