Because the release of 2.0.7 is imminent we agreed (I think) to freeze
the rapid development of the utmp stuff at the end of last week, based
on a ".2" patch:
http://www.dur.ac.uk/~samba/utmp-207pre3.2.patch
and a couple of caveats such as not documenting the unstable "utmp
consolidate" and a spurious, duplicate call to "conn_num_open();"
in utmp_claim().
Could I request a tiny, localised, thaw? That is, to add the following
functionality:
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(pututline pututxline updwtmp updwtmpx)
into "configure.in".
Why? The future development of utmp is most likely to require the
detection of these routines, and at least one significant and valuable
testing person of this code has not got the experience or availability to
"autoconf" to be able to rebuild his "configure" scripts.
Anyone see any downsides?
