nis (4.5) unstable; urgency=medium * Removed preinst and postinst, now obsoleted by past change to the 4.x series in Debian 10 -> 11 upgrade. - Annotated possible problems due to use of GDBM in the NIS howto document.

(closes: #980999) * Fixed typo in d/NEWS. -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:30:12 +0100 nis (4.0) unstable; urgency=medium == The 'Welcome in 21th century' edition == * Package split in three different new source packages. This package is now an arch-indep native meta-package that depends on ypserv, ypbind-mt and yp-tools. This has also the advantage of being the same structure used by other distributions. Added a pair of Provides - nis-client and nis-server - to be more explicit for new users. * All upstream software is now up-to-date. (closes: #800002) * All packages use new d-helper and policy ATM, that solve a few different historical issues. (closes: #631628, #437639, #545723) * The purpose of this package is helping the transition to the new organization of the NIS stuff. Existing configurations should be upgraded smoothly via postinst, or almost. * All debconf stuff now removed. Now administrator has to set /etc/defaultdomain and accurately follow the nis.debian.howto document provided in order to setup servers and clients for all possible cases. (closes: #558456, #231808) * All packages now use systemd units and timer, when available. The traditional /etc/default/nis configuration file is still optionally used if the admin needed to change options. This also solves improper start/stop in chroot. (closes: #589821, #256979, #890994) * The traditional init scripts are still provided and can be used with sysvrc init for flavors/administrators that prefer so. * The original init script is now split in yserv and ypbind-mt and removed here to avoid to cope with annoying warnings about missing systemd services for nis. The new scripts are a lot more simple and mimic the behavior of systemd services, i.e. start/stop daemon and nothing more. They are still controlled by NIS(MASTER|CLIENT) vars in /etc/default/nis. * All historical patches, scripts and stuff here and there have been now removed. * Now nscd | unscd is a recommendation of ypbind-mt. That implies that restarting those services is totally an admin's duty when maps change. (closes: #878625) * Thanks to use of systemd units, now postinst/prerm scripts in general do not start/stop/restart anything, but for the one time upgrade from 3.17 -> 4.0. All that is left to systemd. Even, in that case the scripts don't fail. That implies that in general ypbind shouldn't simply block an upgrade or remove, because they are totally controlled by admin who should undestand in what cases stopping ypserv could hang ypbind and PAM for minutes. Maintain a resilient configuration (i.e. setup multiple servers) in NIS is mandatory! Also, the admin can restart services at her/his will, and specifically ypbind should be stopped before a ypserv restart and then started again after, when servers are not redundant. That should hopefully fix the RPC timeouts that happen in some corner cases. (closes: #118023, #703667, #886331, #213733, #798339) * Current ypserv binds on all available interfaces. Also, ypbind honors loopback address in /etc/yp.conf and has eventually also a -local-only to bind only to localhost. No more denied messages on multi-homed hosts. (closes: #126177, #329382) * preinst/postinst should take care of a smooth upgrade from 3.17 and stop NIS services, then reactivate them via systemd, iff sysvrc is not in use. * Introduced Pre-Depends to depend on init-systems-helper >= 1.58. That's to use deb-systemd-invoke and do The Right Thing. * Systems that need to enable NIS auth via ypbind should also install libnss-nis, which is now separated from glibc and only recommended. So introduced a Recommends also in ypbind-mt. (closes: #979371) * The broadcast mode is not more the defaut for ypbind at start and should be deprecated, because it creates more problems than it solves. -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine Sun, 24 Jan 2021 12:16:28 +0100 nis (3.17.1-9) unstable; urgency=medium * New maintainer.
