[arch-dev-public] [signoff] shadow-4.1.4.3-2
Hi, shadow-4.1.4.3-2 is in testing. I've updated the package to use a svn snapshot. The shadow version (4.1.4.3) currently in the repo is just the 4.1.4.2 version that was released 2 years ago with a security fix. Using a more recent svn snapshot will fix several issues like FS#21951. Debian use the same snapshot for their stable release plus the shadow package maintainer for Debian is also the upstream developper. So it should be pretty stable. :) Other fixes I did: - Removed the obsolete GETPASS_ASTERISKS option from /etc/login.defs (close FS#19207) - Fixed strncpy usage (close FS#23216) - Updated license - Added acl depends Please test and signoff.
