Ping. Well, I'd prefer to discuss that with eglibc maintainers and find a solution for it. But, I guess it's late now to make those changes. I hope that it will be done for Wheezy. Anyway… it's unblocked now and will migrate to Squeeze tonight. I'm also squeeze-ignoring 574990 since I don't imagine it to be fixed in time, and now that we have a replacement. I hope that we won't discover critical issues in unscd that will affect Squeeze… Regards, -- Mehdi Dogguy مهدي الدڤي http://dogguy.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#603982: unblock: unscd/0.47-1 (New Package)
Package: release.debian.org Severity: minor User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock I'd like to request an unblock of unscd. This is a bit of any unusual request, because unscd is not currently in testing. However, it is pathetically small (2584 lines), is a leaf package, and works significantly better than nscd does. unscd (0.47-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial packaging for Debian (Closes: #513305) -- Don Armstrong d...@debian.org Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:21:13 -0700 Description: Micro Name Service Caching Daemon A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for running programs and caches the results for the next query. You only need this package if you are using slow Name Services like LDAP, NIS or NIS+. . This particular NSCD is a complete rewrite of the GNU glibc nscd which is a single threaded server process which offloads all NSS lookups to worker children; cache hits are handled by the parent, and only cache misses start worker children, making the parent immune to resource leaks, hangs, and crashes in NSS libraries. . It should mostly be a drop-in replacement for existing installs using nscd. I've been using it in production for months, and it's been in unstable for a while already; if worst comes to worst and there is a serious problem with it in testing, it can easily be removed.
