Package: release-notes Severity: wishlist Control: affects -1 1033728 Hi,
Paul suggested that I file this bug as a reminder. The sudo team is considering to remove sudo-ldap after the trixie release. A possible migration path would be to use libsss-sudo instead. See also: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033728 https://salsa.debian.org/sudo-team/sudo/-/blob/master/debian/NEWS The version of sudo that currently ships in unstable has a corresponding NEWS entry and displays a corresponding debconf message. Me and the sudo team are not yet sure about what we're going to do with sudo-ldap post-trixie. We can (1) remove the package without replacement (2) replace the package with a transitional package depending on (2a) libsss-sudo or (2b) sudo (3) make sudo-ldap uninstallable so that an upgrade will error out before breaking sudo-ldap (4) keep sudo-ldap around (5) a different method I am open to suggestions. I think this is worth mentioning in the trixie release notes. While trixie will still have a fully functional sudo-ldap, users SHOULD use the trixiecycle to migrate away from sudo-ldap so that their systems won't break when sudo-ldap finally goes away in trixie+1. The final wording for the trixie release notes depends on what we decide to do post-trixie. Again, I am open to suggestions how to word things. Feel free to remind me in case I don't keep this on my radar by myself. Greetings Marc
