13 I see. I'm not sure if I'm interpreting this correctly without more
14 context. These are my reactions to above thread:
15
16 1. All people who replied are listed on
17 <https://www.samba.org/samba/team/> . To me this means it's indeed
18 "official" upstream response.
19
20 2. Upstream is indeed initially confused.
21
22 3. After reading the reference to
23 <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Automagic_dependencies>,
24 they point to "--with{out,}-pam, --with{out,}-aio-support and
25 --with{out,}-attr" flags. Notably, dmapi is not mentioned.
26
27 4. At that point I'd expect a reply from you Lars, that since they have
28 flags for other libraries but not dmapi (or the dmapi ones don't work -
29 and provide steps to repro), why wouldn't they take the patch.
30
31 5. In fact, <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474492> from your
32 original post links to upstream
33 <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10369> with a slightly
34 different patch that apparently has been landed.
